The Power of Knowing Why- The Nativu Manifesto. How often do you ask yourself WHY? Why am I investing? Why Costa Rica? Why real estate? Why, why, why? For us at Nativu, this is one of the most important starting points when investing our time, energy and money. Deciphering the answers to your “why” can make lots of things start to happen. Decisions become wiser and quicker, and your time investment more efficient. Most important, your life becomes happier.
Why?
Your own “why” is usually a combination of your personal beliefs, your experience and what you want to accomplish in life. I’m sharing our company’s “why” manifesto, reflecting what we believe in as a digital real estate company. We have partnered with The Howler in order to bring our services and knowledge directly to you for real estate investing Costa Rica. Both companies share a similar business philosophy and we would be glad to help you on your investment journey, with the best quality of service and attention.
Nativu is a lifestyle. It’s a way of living happily and harmoniously combining all the important things for us.
We believe in the balance of things; in which you can succeed on a personal and professional level without exclusion.
We believe in intelligent work and the ability to invest our time, resources and energy wisely, leading us to live a happy life together with our loved ones.
We believe in the responsible use of technology and see it as an important means to connect with our collaborators, partners and customers.
We believe in the power and importance of our communities and how they shape the societies where we live.
Do something fun
every day. Life is too
short for boredom.
We believe in the following principles.
Lifestyle
1. Live happy, invest wisely.
We can’t find another purpose more wonderful than to be happy. There are 7 billion definitions of happiness, one for each inhabitant of our planet. Being happy is a choice; we have to invest our energy, our dreams, our work and all our resources in creating our personal definition of happiness.
2. Family is first. ALWAYS!
Family members are usually those who are with us in good times and in bad times: parents, siblings and children, but also our work colleagues, partners, clients and friends who raise us up every day to be better people.
3. Do something fun every day. Life is too short for boredom.
There is nothing better than laughing and enjoying the company of people we love. Let’s try to keep this in mind every day and remember what it is like to have a good time.
4. Every day is an opportunity to achieve something incredible.
Whether within our families, companies or communities, we look for ways to generate value in each of our actions. The satisfaction of achieving it every day will become the fuel to achieve more incredible things.
5. Do not have goals, have life purposes.
Once we achieve our goals, we continue to search for more of them, which becomes an endless race. Purposes do not have a timeline; they are the way we guide our lives.
6. Ideas without execution are dreams. Do not be a dreamer; be a doer.
Dreaming is incredible. Every day we dream of traveling, having our home and health for our families or growing our businesses. We may dream of a new idea inclusively. Choose your dreams and work intelligently on them to become reality.
7. Sleep, rest and relax.
Driven by the community
8. Work with people who inspire you and put aside those who slow you down.
If we surround ourselves with people who work with our same values and energy, we will achieve everything we set out to do. Within the Nativu family in Costa Rica, this is very important at all levels.
9. Treat your employees with respect. They are the ones who make your company great.
Companies are made up of people with different tastes, ideologies and traditions. All of them deserve the highest level of respect at all times, regardless of their position or job function. Only then will we be set to achieve group success.
10. Incorporate the energy of nature daily. True inspiration rarely happens within four walls.
Often, the day-to-day bustle confines us for many hours inside our workplace. Inspiration often happens when we see, smell and experience things in the least expected places. Expose yourself to these moments and see how the tap of inspiration opens up.
11. Let us lead the course of our communities with good actions.
Communities are the pillar of every country. Therefore, each one of us must become active participants within each one of them. We all have different talents and abilities that we should share with other people.
Digital first
12. Use technology wisely, but do not let technology use you.
Use technology to connect, learn and teach. We are responsible with it and we do not abuse it. We live in extraordinary times, in the era of the technological revolution with a changing world. How will we be remembered in history?
13. Always stay hungry to learn.
It has never been so easy to learn about a specific topic. We are one click away from learning about anything. Never let that passion to learn go away.
14. To be a nomad is awesome!
Nativu Manifesto believes in the flexibility to live and work from anywhere we want. That is why every day we use technology to make it a reality for our partners and collaborators.
15. Set your phone in silence.
As much as we love technology, it will never replace a romantic dinner with your partner, barbecue with friends, or coffee with a brother; There are times when technology must be turned off, period.
Financially wise
16. Be organized with your money; it will allow you to lead a peaceful life.
Money should never be the final purpose. However, it is a resource that’s very important for knowing how to handle. Save, invest wisely and use money intelligently to achieve your goals.
17. Intelligent and constant work always wins over natural talent.
There’s nothing that can’t be achieved if we put in the hours of work, dedication and desires. We create the opportunities ourselves, we just have to be ready to make the best decisions when necessary.
18. Think strategically and execute with savviness and speed.
Analyze the financial decisions in your life with great caution. A bad decision can result in many months or years of stress depending on the case.
19. If you do not know, ask and listen carefully.
We always want to learn new things. Listen to people with more wisdom and experience than we have, and have the humility to accept what we do not know and need to learn.
