No need to disconnect from work

The term “disconnection” is very common in the lexicon of any employee. Vacation leave in many cases is an excellent motivation for employees, indicating a clear separation of personal life and workeven with a negative perception of the latter. On the other hand, for José Elias, working life is by no means negative. “If you’re doing well at work, you don’t need to disconnect from anything.”“When you have such a busy work life, you don’t want to leave,” says the businessman.

To prove this, he even used an interesting analogy, comparing work to one of the products he enjoys most.”You give me a plate of paella and I don’t have to stop eating it.“The problem is that you are forced to eat something that you don’t really like,” he says. In this sense, he even sends a signal to those who want to “make money like Steve Jobs,” but also want a simple job without having to put in too much effort and not knowing what they want. “It’s complicated,” says José Elias.

So your personal point of view is based on finding what the employee likes, something he or she enjoys doing, because in this case, work life will be much better and there will be no need to switch off. In the words of the Spanish millionaire, he says: “You don’t have to disconnect from what you love.. (…) You need to disconnect because you don’t like what you’re doing. That’s why you need to disconnect.”

The key to success is to be “obsessive”

Focusing on work, this is one of the topics that most attracts his followers due to its context, since he speaks from a point of view based on his own experience, the history of a Spaniard who is among the richest people in the country in the world. In this regard, for José Elias To be successful, you have to be “obsessive” and “care about details.”“Why? Because there are 50 people like you. So to stand out, you have to get down to the nitty-gritty,” he says.

Moreover, it is fundamental for him to establish good work-life balanceeven if it means sacrificing some of the staff. It’s about eliminating those things that don’t really make a difference or that make a negative difference, so that, as a result, achieve success in the professional field. Thus, continuing this aspect, José Elias understands that “to get to the last detail, you have to miss something.”
