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. I’m sure that everybody can make money if the right tools are provided. If you are surrounded by the right peers. If you have patience. And a method. I talk about my method in the link below. Quickly and to the point. ​Even you can make money in Real Estate​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

Was I about to pay for a sofa? Or fund the retailer’s retirement? Or their kids going to Harvard? Now imagine that feeling in a procurement room. Well… I found a case that it’s the perfect example. 1976 General Electric was bidding to build part of PAVE PAWS, a US missile warning radar system. Its original price for the...
A train fails its final test. Normally, you fix the train. In Ottawa, they found another option. They changed the test. Just as Margaret Thatcher when she didn’t like her unemployment numbers… The context. In 2019, the city’s new light rail system was approaching opening day. The final trial was supposed to show it could run reliably before passengers got on board. The first three days exposed serious problems. Testing was paused. This is the point where a sensible person says: “Perhaps we...
The meeting had everything. An agenda. A board pack. Senior people. Weather conversations. Possibly biscuits. Coffee and tea. Potable sandwiches during the break.
