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.

Work is the #1 cause of life stress for most people. Probably, this is not a surprise to you. What that research shows though is that your manager has as much impact on your mental health as your spouse. Burnout is real. Working hard and not being recognized, promoted or getting a pat on the back from time to time have consequences. There are ways to work around this, of course. You can change jobs. You can try to have “a conversation” with your manager. You can meditate. You can buy one of...
What a lot of risk? I recently saw people complaining about the “high IRRs” that some PPP developers were making. High IRRs. Greedy developers. Private sector making too much money. The usual music. Well… Look at the number of projects that have gone under. Especially those with demand risk. Real demand risk. Not “let’s pretend this is risky in a spreadsheet” risk. Actual traffic risk. Actual revenue risk. Actual “if people don’t show up, you don’t get paid” risk. And then tell me that 15% or...
Outcomes vs processes. This is the never-ending story of the project manager in any major infrastructure project. What to do. What to prioritise. Where to push. Where to let go. What matters. What is noise dressed up as “governance”. Well… A few days ago I had a discussion with one of my clients. I explained my views. Then, after the call, I sent him a message. WhatsApp. Yes. Not a 35-page PowerPoint. Not a colour-coded framework. Not a “strategic alignment deck” with triangles, arrows and...
