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? ​ I propose you this. ​The 15 Lessons Learned of a PPP Project Nightmare​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Two: how good is the actual pipeline. Answer: useless. The reason is simple. The actual pipeline is a wish list. A list of projects that want to be built. That’s great. But where is the tracking about what is in the pipeline and what is actually being delivered? If that’s not there, there is no...
Today I had some conversations about one of the biggest sources of delay, frustration, and conflict in PPPs:The Review Procedures. Agencies still treat them like they’re signing a traditional construction contract. They micromanage the design. They dive into details they don’t own. And worst of all — they brief their consultants poorly (if at all) on what the review is supposed to achieve. The result? Endless comments that add no value. Delays that push the schedule back months. An...
A few birthdays this week. And you know what. People get older. Time passes by… but they do not necessarily grow up. As Robert Kiyosaki once said “Many people run from mom and dad’s shelter to the shelter of a company or the government”. Take government and you can exchange it by “a company”, “a secure job”, “a long term project”… Too many people spend their lives looking for guarantees and spend all their lives avoiding risk, avoiding growing up, and always looking for a surrogate “parent”...
