Breathing reality

Published 12 months ago • 1 min read

"For those who deny reality, reality is ruthless."

If you insist on imposing your vision of the world on others instead of observing, accepting reality, and navigating it, you’ll end up screwed.

Nice sentences that you see in websites, social media and so on.

And you believe them, because if they are there… they may be true.

However, think twice of that nonsense.

Reality isn’t ruthless to those who deny it—reality is ruthless, period.

And the nuance is important.

Reality doesn’t expect anything from you; it’s just there to devour you.

It’s your ability to accept it that softens the blow.
If, where there was a hungry bear, you saw a cute puppy, well, the bear would eat you, and no one would miss you because everyone was already fed up with you always being a drama queen and causing problems.

Fresh air is necessary in companies so that reality hits accommodated managers and employees. This is one of the key benefits of consultants.

For people, like you and I, seminars, coaches and mentors bring that fresh air.

With nuance or without, fresh air in your thinking and mindset can only provide some good.

Take a look below and breath.

The Tequila Crisis

You know that moment when a government says: “We’re launching a massive PPP program.” Or… “We are going to partner with the private sector to build roads”! Everyone claps like seals because… wow… private money, shiny highways, “international best practice,”. Re-election secured. Mexico did that in the early 90s. Fifty-two highway concessions. I repeat. 52 PPP fever everywhere. The “future” of infrastructure. And we’ll build Speedy Gonzales speed. Spoiler: It didn’t end well. Actually, it...

I lost $500k

Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...

Let's transfer all the risks

“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...
