Are you living like a celibate priest?
|
When you realize that the celibacy of Catholic priests, cardinals, and even the Pope has more to do with issues arising from the inheritance of descendants than with a mythical sacrifice to devote themselves to God... you realize that they’ve been deceiving you, manipulating you, creating obedient little sheep. This case is not unique. People's minds are full of preconceptions, fixed ideas, and false myths. In all aspects of life. Laws. Regulations. Politics. Religion. Etc. Personal finance, contract management and business are not different. But, as I don’t care what’s on the TV or social media, these things touch me every day. And they touch you every day too. People were told stories. They believed them. Without understanding the why of the myth. This is what I try to do in the course below. Perfect thing to do in a weekend. Learn and fill your head with new thoughts and perspectives. This course is about mistakes in a project, but you could apply the learnings to any project, to any business and even your life because I try to go to the root of the whys and the myth creation. I challenge you. What are you going to do this weekend that will mark a milestone in your path?

Too many priorities. Because let me tell you something. If you don’t have a clear maximum of 3 priorities… you have none. You get distracted. With lesser goals. Stupid goals. Or worse… scrolling. Looking for your next dopamine hit. This applies to your life. But also to how you work. If your door is always...
Hospital PPPs have a bad reputation. Delays. Overpricing. Rigidity. You’ve heard the stories. I remember when I work at ACS that any RFP announcement of a hospital was received as the last Trump’s tweet… We didn’t know what to do about… Let’s now talk about the Alzira Hospital PPP in Spain. Launched in 1999. First of its kind. A full model: Design. Build. Finance. Operate. Not just the building. Healthcare delivery. High risk. High exposure. High scrutiny. And still… It worked. Well… somehow....
Yesterday I learned that the European Union, the climax of bureaucracy in human history, will require passports for all dogs and cats. Some countries want to be wealthy. Others want to lead in technology or AI. Others want to be the best place in the world to do business. In the meantime… the EU is busy with things that will surely make it richer, more prosperous, and a better place to live. I’m telling you this because the EU is not unique. This is everywhere. Every country, government,...
