Gold out of the weeds
|
Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places. I’m not saying Cook Island, Vanuatu, Fiji… some of my last trips, but “other places”. You’ll get sued. You’ll sue someone. You’ll get robbed. You’ll make amazing friends. You’ll meet incredible people and partners. You’ll grow… faster than “the rest”. You’ll become smarter, calmer, more focused… faster than the rest, by the way. ​ Be around people that you admire will push you closer to that people… you’ll become one of them. This is why friends, colleagues, partners and so on are so critical. Solo you can do things faster, but with great people around you, you’ll go further. ​ One of the things that cost me a long, long time to learn was the “focus”. To separate the gold out of the weeds.

Remember, next month, again the j*dido report de mi€rda. You can be dragged to an endless set of discussions about every single monthly report....
A terrible clause about Force Majeure. A lawyers’ money-making machine with the definition of “Substantial regulatory changes” A few days ago, I had the opportunity to discuss common flaws to PPP contracts. Lawyers can be really good drafting millions of pages. They have no idea how real people deal with those pages in a day to day basis. That was the conversation I had with a student of the mentorship. 5 clauses. 5 headaches. Easily avoidable. The clauses, the potential solutions, together...
Despite being on a Saturday, I received a few emails asking about yesterday contract! Look… I have plenty of examples. Yesterday, it was a PPP in the Philippines… but I’ve been working on a few others PPP project. A fantastic example with nice clauses that are less bankable than a PPP for a data center in North Korea. Kenya. A known highway. The Review Procedure. “Disagreements will be discussed” Literally. Good luck with getting a solution. Discussing can be the more frustrating of...
