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.

Let me challenge you today. Being busy isn’t how you become world-class. It’s normally about quality. How Dan Sullivan used to say: “How you do anything is how you do everything. “ Sot, it is about quality, more than quantity. Quality in all things. The nutrition and food in your body. The quality of your sleep and environment. The quality of your recovery. The quality of your network. The quality of your training and mentors. So, let’s do a pause today this Sunday, and reflect about how to...
Talking to good friends in Ferrovial and health & safety, we end up comparing cultures. Comparing projects. And disasters… UK. In the 2000s. Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Budget: more than £4 billion Big… very big project, with lots of complexities and workers. Every engineer knows that… If something went wrong… it wouldn’t be small. So, they treated safety like a system… for real. Not a slogan. Daily briefings. Clear reporting lines. No ambiguity on responsibility. And… Anyone could stop the...
Canada. Mid-2010s. Milton–Madison Bridge Not a PPP, but a serious piece of infrastructure. Old steel truss bridge. Built in 1929. As an engineer… I love it. Around 13,000 vehicles per day. But… like all old bridges… It was structurally done. Fatigue. Corrosion. Narrow lanes. No shoulders. A bad accident waiting to happen. So they decided to replace it. Nothing new. But… they chose a method most people would avoid. Slide-In Bridge Construction or SIBC The idea is brilliant. Build the entire...
