Today Codie Sanchez made my email. You choose your hard... so please don’t complain. I’ve been in both, and I’m still deciding what to do next. I take my time, with no rush.

Some people take it for themselves, and keep in pain and frustration. Others go to talk to mentors, coaches and people that are in the same path they want to go. ​ I’m still deciding my hard, but not how I approach. Mentoring can change your life. This is why I’m offering this package for Christmas.

Think of people supporting their favourite teams. There is a strong emotional content in their beliefs. They really do not want to have to rework their habits of thinking, and when you challenge them,...
Impossible. Nobody can be that stupid. Well… welcome to another day. A contractor (let’s call him Mr. Optimism) decided to “save time” on a warehouse project. How? By installing the roof before securing the steel structure with the final bolts. “Don’t worry, jefe, it holds by itself.” Famous last words of every construction project ever. The weather app showed light breeze. New Zealand showed: “Hold my beer.” A 45-km/h gust arrived, grabbed the entire roof like a giant frisbee, and sent it...
In a meeting with an agency not long time ago, I was asked for advice with regards to the team they’ll need to set up for managing a PPP project. Obviously, our conversation started by a “are you kidding me”? Managing multibillion dollar projects required people able to handle multibillion dollar projects. That’s the basics. If you bring to your team people used to manage projects in the range of 10 millions… the focus is not going to be on the right things. The nickelling and diamonding...
