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. ​

In a meeting. Not long ago. Something cost 15 one month ago, and then… now it costs only 10… No matter if I’m talking about millions or billions. It’s the same. This is what crossed my mind… Do you want an award? Or… a pat in your back? Or being fired? The question to you. What would you do? Well… in my case, I wanted to be polite, be positive and constructive and all that sh*t that MBAs teach around the world. So I just said politely. “If that’s true, you should be fired”. Yeah… I had to...
Early brief: “Deliver a shiny new light rail through Sydney’s CBD. Easy. Everyone loves trams.” Translation: scope unclear, assumptions heroic, risks buried under PowerPoint. They signed a PPP anyway. The CBD & South East Light Rail (CSELR) looked great on slides. A 12-km network. Wrapped in a neat PP. Design, build, finance, operate, maintain. The promise: reliable transport, urban sparkle, political selfies. But, as usual, then construction met reality. The contract drawings and utilities...
It was the early 2000s. In Disunited Kingdom the formerly known as UK. The government wanted to rebuild hundreds of schools. Big dream. Big politics. Usual suspects. Of course, as per the playbook, before launching the program, they ran a market-testing exercise to “hear the voice of the private sector.” Lovely. And the market said what the market always says: “Of course, I can, it’s possible. I cannot be fired or lose my bonus… so, I confirm that we can design, build, finance, and maintain...
