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.

The contracts were enormous. The advisers were experienced. And the incentives were fundamentally wrong. “That doesn’t apply to our project.” Of course not. Your project is unique. So was Metronet. Well… in our case. Metronet’s shareholders were also its principal suppliers. Con 2 c*jones… or with 2 eggs. Strong...
“Not for me.” Of course not. This is what some of you wrote to me yesterday. Your operator definitely did not price the contract as if KPI deductions did not exist. They definitely did not assume the client would pay every change at cost plus margin… once or twice a year. And your builder? Of course they brought people with real close-out experience. They know exactly where the records are. The test results. The as-builts. The approvals. The evidence the Independent Engineer needs before...
“That doesn’t apply to my case.” I hear this all the time. Different asset. Different contract. Different country. Different shareholders. Different problems. My project is special. Of course, it is. Even the air you breath is. Look. Assets, projects, SPV, your toilet, whatever… are not making you suffer or smell bad odours because of a completely unique problem. The details are different. The patterns are not. It is the same in sales. Selling something for $5 and selling something for...
