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?

Steel structures over highways, quietly waiting for trucks to pass and pay. The project cost almost €1 billion. It was called the Écotaxe Poids Lourds. The idea was simple. Heavy trucks should pay for using the roads. Especially foreign trucks crossing France. Elegant. Who would say no to such a great idea?...
My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
Alfred Hitchcock had a peculiar habit. He appeared for a few seconds in almost every one of his films. At first it was a joke. Then it became a problem. Audiences started watching the screen obsessively, trying to spot him. They were no longer following the story. They were hunting Hitchcock. So in films like Psycho, he solved it in a simple way. He appeared right at the beginning. Problem solved. Distraction gone. When I review PPP bids, clients always ask the same question. “Vicente…...
