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.

Green, blue, red, yellow, orange… Different tones… If you go today to a parking lot, you’ll see black, white, a few grey and fewer red and blue. We are in a world where it’s better not to grab attention. To go with the flow....
He was betrayed by his wife. Stop taking pills. Finishing studies. Recently married. Moved to a new town. Bought a house. In debt, for furniture and all the set up of a new life together. I’m pregnant. OK… Twins. Tough 7-8 months. Lots of medical issues. Risk. Stress. Danger. Anger and fear. All went well at the end. But things could not go that well any longer. Now he is a single dad. Moved away. Reorganized his life in a new country. From scratch. With two wonderful 14 years-old boys. When...
I learnt today that a great professional I know got laid down. After more than 30 years in the same company. Delivering amazing projects. Making millions… if not billions – yes, with “b” for the company. A big, important guy. A great guy, by the way. Personally and professionally. He’s shocked. And in his late 50s… after being at the top in uncountable projects, deciding over the lives of hundreds of employees, contractors and subcontractors. He feels vulnerable. Not sure if you had realized....
