They call it “cheating”. That bad it is. The school system, the system paid and sustained by your taxes. They train students to take tests on their own. If a child attempts to cooperate at test time… as I said… it is called ‘cheating.’ In the real world, business owners cooperate at test time. Engineers cooperate at test time. And so on… In life, except in the critical time for your brain, school time, every day is test time. Then, they penalize you to make mistakes. You do a mistake; you fail the test. You are blamed, even ridiculed. In real life, many entrepreneurs don’t really become businesspeople until after they lose their first business. Salespeople, the same. You must lose many sales, to become good at work. We continue to be trained and wired as in the industrial times when we needed meat for the factories. The damage to your brain can be permanent. Scaping almost impossible. I don’t know what you do, or how you want your children to be educated. But I want my child to learn by doing, and by making mistakes. I want him to be creator and innovator. I’ve been in corporate life for too long to know that staying busy in your busyness and not building anything is chain your future to a blackberry. You can also start building. On the side, without stupid risks. With the two feet on the ground. Building a career increasing your options. Building a business without risking your life. Building your wealth without breaking a bank. Common sense. Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Southeast Asia. Early 2020s. You’re advising on a major transport PPP. Billions on the line. A metro line so politically visible that even the Prime Minister’s dog has an opinion on it. Your consortium is ready. Equity committed. Contractors lined up. Designers caffeinated beyond medical guidelines. The agency launches the RFQ. Everyone smiles. “Finally, a flagship project done properly.” (What a beautiful illusion.) Then… the unexpected happens. A new Minister arrives. (You can already feel...
My wife has sentenced. My little son and I are condemned to not wearing anything white clothes in the next 10 to 15 years. No matter what you do, no matter how much precaution you have, it all ends the same. Wine, oil, or tomato come to the party. And that polo or shirt ended like a Kleenex. One use only. No matter what you do, it’s time you look for a second use or prepare to send it to a charity. One use only, as I said. Like great RFPs. Millions spent. Dozens of consultants mobilized....
Just in a rush as I’m taking a plane. You’ve been reading my emails for weeks. Learning, nodding, agreeing… But nothing changes just by knowing. You can blame the market. You can blame your company. You can blame your boss or the government or the crisis. Or you can accept a fact: Winners move when others freeze. You want better projects? Better money? Recognition? A pat in the back? Then you must become the person who gets those things. You know what I’m offering. Not soft coaching, but...
