If you focus on successful cases, you’re getting it wrong. Don’t get me wrong. You’ll learn something. But, if only 1 out of 10 makes it to the riches, you’re leaving 90% of the learnings on the table. ​ You can learn something of any project. ​ Things that went OK. Things that went badly. Things that went really badly. Things that you did right. ​ No questions why there are so many people looking for the next uberization of something. Uber of X, Uber of Y, etc… ​ Copy-cuts that sends you to nothing. Just loosing your money. ​ I know that very well, because I tried to create the next uber of home-services and it cost me a fortune. Not totally unsuccessful, but j*der… quite expensive. ​ Yes, I tried those things. ​ A couple of start-ups, a digital printer company, crypto, stock market, bonds, funds, ETF, funds of funds… ​ Do I regret it? ​ No. ​ Not at all. ​ All these things left on me some learnings. ​ And I finally got it. ​ And not only that… now, I think that I can even show how I do it. ​ Real estate is my thing.

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...
Southeast Asia. Early 2020s. You’re advising on a major transport PPP. Billions on the line. A metro line so politically visible that even the Prime Minister’s dog has an opinion on it. Your consortium is ready. Equity committed. Contractors lined up. Designers caffeinated beyond medical guidelines. The agency launches the RFQ. Everyone smiles. “Finally, a flagship project done properly.” (What a beautiful illusion.) Then… the unexpected happens. A new Minister arrives. (You can already feel...
My wife has sentenced. My little son and I are condemned to not wearing anything white clothes in the next 10 to 15 years. No matter what you do, no matter how much precaution you have, it all ends the same. Wine, oil, or tomato come to the party. And that polo or shirt ended like a Kleenex. One use only.
