Dividends paid long term
|
We’re always comparing ourselves to others. We shouldn’t. Comparing yourself to others and complaining about anything are your best friends of poverty. ​ What if we showed up to work every day simply to be better than ourselves. What if your objective every day was to become better than your yesterday self. ​ I think that is a better WHY than your pay raise, your next sale, your next business… it pays great dividends on the long run. ​ You don’t need to worry anymore for the next great idea Netanyahu, or what the Excel model of the FED have to say, about your company next quarter result, or that client that resists to “give work”, or the decisions of some guys pumping oil in doggy countries… ​ If you improve yourself every day, you’ll be safe. That’s my promise. If you wake up with that sentence in your mouth every day, if you determine what you’ll improve today, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow in your skills, life, business or work… you’ll be unstoppable. ​ I’m preparing something that will give you some ammunition in your efforts.

Some people want to push globalization too much. Having assets in London, NY, Madrid, Singapore, Sydney, etc. at the same time is not good for your health, nor your pocket. You miss specialization. You miss learning and knowing well a market. When bidding PPP projects, I have seen successful bidders doing so from the distance....
It happens a few weeks ago. “Tell me about Madrid and Spain, how do you do it? I heard a business case that Madrid has been able to deliver the cheapest tunnels in the world…” I did not know about that case, but my answer was simple: “Do you know how many TMBs had Madrid at the time?” Look. If you want cheap infrastructure, create a pipeline. Madrid had during more than 10 years between 7 and 8 TBMs (the machines to make tunnels in engineering slang). They are extremely costly. So, they...
A great friend of mine tells his team: “Work hard, play harder”. I can’t agree more with him. Infrastructure is a difficult business. Lots of hours of discussing, negotiating, working, arguing with people. Yes, people. Not companies, not systems. People. Along the journey you’ll have all sorts of moments. Creating all sorts of emotions. Engraving in you, amazing memories. So enjoy the journey. Don’t be a gilipollas and play harder. No matter what the contract says, if you get along well with...
