I know you won't do this

When you are with your radar on, even a short trip can bring you great ideas. You drive, everybody is sleeping, and you see business opportunities or business ideas. I can’t help it. Suddenly you see that there are people “operating” farms. I think that’s a great idea. I come from the countryside and I’m sick of seeing old people with no succession plan, and no buyers for their land. Great idea. Old and tired, too much work, very little gains, they can’t cope with technological changes, they close. With lots of baby boomers retiring, this seems to have a market. It’s like arbitrage in Airbnb… you don’t need to have lots of properties to make money in the real estate market. Just rent long term, operate short term rentals. It takes some work, but it’s profitable. Still… many people will read this, and won’t even get to the internet and check competitors for the farm operators, business models or whether there is any opportunities where they live. I did. And I won’t tell you the results. It’s just a question of mindset. You can see opportunities everywhere, or just trouble. If just see the second, don’t complain about Trump, Biden, taxes, or your paycheck. Take a look to the business opportunities I explain in this little book. Buy it today. Next week, I double the price. ​

Some PPPs die before they start.Others collapse under the weight of construction. And then there are those that rot from within — strangled by their own KPI regime. Take the Peterborough Prison PPP in the UK.On paper, it was innovative: the first privately financed prison with a focus on rehabilitation. The government loved the concept. The innocent believers in human nature wet dreamt about it. The financiers lined up.The operator thought they could make it work… if not, they would still...
Humiliation can come in many ways. But probably, one of the most humiliating failures a government can suffer in a PPP is the silence. This happened in a mid-sized developed country of the Commonwealth just a few years ago. The government wanted a flagship social infrastructure project: a cluster of new courthouses and justice facilities, spread across regional cities. They framed it as transformational. A “once in a generation” opportunity. Ministers on stage, cameras rolling, the usual...
A couple of days ago I was invited to a podcast. One of the questions I was asked was… “What advice you have for entrepreneurs” Or that kind of question. But the answer was instantaneous. Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
