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.

Every December, projects enter a strange parallel universe. And this week everything explodes. Budgets are frozen. Teams disappear. And every email ends with “before the Christmas break, please.” If you have been in “a Change approved before the Christmas break”. “A package submitted before…”. Etc. You’re in the trap. I did it once… Years ago. A change to be “approved” before the end of the year. So we rushed. Design team, commercial, legal, operations, the construction… everyone. Sleepless...
As many of you, I’m flying now. Holidays. Family. “Relax”… if a three years-old allow you to do so. Before I used my more than 20 hours of flight time to catch up with movies or read that book I definitely wanted to have read before arriving to destination. Now, I have to sync my sleep with the little one and get into the loop of all Disney Cars movies and Bluey shows. Still I have time to think of my next project. My next investment. And not just real estate, but also education and training....
It’s a superpower. But people are not interested in the others’ point of view. Just in theirs. We are egocentric by nature. So listening it’s a superpower. I let the agent to do the talking. My side, just questions and nodding. Disclosures? None… well… there was some flooding… Price expectations? This property in 2021 would be selling by… Yes, but what are the owners expectations today. Well… in January, they received an offer by X and was rejected, now… I’m not sure what they owners will...
