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.

When you have four years of construction ahead. Utilities still undefined. Properties not properly acquired. A recent landslide before signature....
In today’s world, we are surrounded by information. By tips. You ask ChatGPT for ways to… Let’s say. Improve communication. Yes, remember: communication skills are probably the skill you need to be working on right now. Well… ChatGPT takes information from thousands of blogs. Unrelated to you. You feel overwhelmed. And you do nothing. You stay exactly where you were. That’s today’s world. We have access to information and knowledge. But we don’t use it. We look for the next tip. And the next....
It’s not sexy, I reckon. It’s never at the parties. Never. All the attention goes to financial close, the construction programme, the liquidated damages, the change regime, the events, the refinancing… And then there is this thing. Almost forgotten. Nobody sees it. Nobody talks about it. Until one day you get the perfect image of a train, lights on, coming out of the dark… And the poor rabbit standing in the middle of the tracks.
