And the best teacher is...

Sometimes in business you fail. Overconfidence. Bad calculations. Hiring the bad people. Weak systems… and a few times, simply bad luck. My failures and my teachers. My losses my investment. I’m lucky that I have a successful brother and remembers me all these things. He is also able to see the good news in every failure, even if it is a great loss. As Robert Kiyosaki said: Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don’t be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You can’t have success without failure”. Every failure, at work, in your business, in your relationships, is keeping you closer to where you want to be. Just take the learning. And forget the rest. It’s that simple. And that hard. ​ I can listen to you and your failures, and get the best of them. Click below and let’s start talking.

And then it starts: Deadline extended. “More time to refine proposals,” they say. Another extension. Silence. And then another. “These guys don’t seem ready” Drop a new batch of documents in the data room. (Oh,...
January 5th. In Spain and many parts of the world, kids go to sleep excited because the Three Wise Men are coming with toys. Meanwhile… in Australia… a mega-project disaster. Hobart, 1975 – 9:27 PM The Tasman Bridge. A massive concrete jewel connecting both sides of the Derwent River. Strong. Modern. Safe. Until a bulk carrier called Lake Illawarra hit one of its piers. Concrete collapsed. Cars fell into the void without even seeing it. Twelve lives lost. A city cut in half for more than two...
Christmas is not my cup of tea. I guess that I’m too practical to over eat, over drink, over talk and over spend. It’s not an optimal solution. One of the things I’m trying to be practical about is gifts. In Spain, gifts are given on the 6January morning. The 3 wise men day. There is also a very famous place. El Corte Inglés… or The English Cut (?) Where you can buy all gifts. Adults and children alike. From clothing to iPads to travel packages. One shop to get everything. So, you won’t see...
