Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review. If you are one of those that think that YOU can’t change and grow… there is a bottom that says unsubscribe. Please click. Change can be fast. Change can also be permanent. Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We are attached to our habits, even if we know that they are bad. To our friends, even if they are toxic. To our city, even if we know there is no great future there. To our routines, Netflix series, and so many other things… You know the quote. It’s crazy to do exactly the same and waiting for different results. Change can happen to you, but you need to want it. Change can be fast, but you need to want it… fast. Change can be permanent, but you need to want it… permanent. No stupid and impossible diets here. There is so much I could tell you about these three concepts… change, fast and permanent. A way to start is clicking below. Price will go up in a few days. Enjoy.

Perhaps even approved by the Board. Everyone agrees. Send it. And that is precisely when I become nervous. Intelligent people do not normally make...
Rule 8 of PPPs: Never go around the SPV. That shortcut has lawyers at the other end. I know why agencies do it. The SPV needs to consult the contractor. Then the shareholders. Then the Board. Then the lenders. Then the lawyers. What should take five minutes takes three weeks. So, someone decides to be practical: “Let’s speak directly with the contractor.” Wrong. Look. The contractor builds the project. The SPV owns the promise. The SPV holds the Project Agreement. The SPV carries the...
Someone went on holiday. Nothing particularly unusual about that. Except that this person had to approve an invoice. And without that approval, the dark accountant at the agency did not even know he had to make an important payment. Without the payment, the SPV would not have enough cash to meet its obligations. Yes… pay your debt is really important in these cases. So, a billion dollar project was suddenly exposed to an insolvency risk because one person went on holiday. Fortunately, we had...
