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. I like what I do in the infrastructure and real estate space, but also I appreciate freedom. At some moments, everyone has doubts, everyone feels overwhelmed, frustrated, angered, in despair. 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.

Not much for these days… although they did not use the billion dollars as measurement unit… Now add. A tunnel through solid rock. The engineer was called...
2,500 years ago, the Persian Empire controlled an enormous territory. No internet. No smartphones. No WhatsApp groups that suck your blood, your energy and even money. And of course, no consultants preparing weekly PowerPoint updates. And they understood something important. Information is power. But only if it's accurate. And arrives on time. The Persians developed an extraordinary system of roads, relay stations and mounted couriers. Messengers changed horses. Day and night. It worked like...
There's a fascinating way to save money in infrastructure. Stop building. Apparently, someone in the UK thought this was a brilliant idea. Take HS2. If you think the name of this railway project is spectacular, you should wait to see the cost overruns. The Government needed to control spending. Understandable. So what did they do? They delayed construction work. Reduced annual expenditure. And presumably celebrated the savings. Excellent. No money no deal… Except… if you need a piece of...
