It's becoming tabu
|
It’s a constant. When you talk freely about money you’re critized. And not just from Spain, the country that is a fiscal hell but the paradise of criticism and the prosecution of the rich, no… It’s everywhere. It’s becoming a kind of tabu. Look. The world is full of people who say, "money isn’t important". Good for them. But I think they don’t know what they’re saying. They just say it for the sake of saying it. It’s a cliché. If they stopped for a moment to think, they would realize that money matters to them more than they’re willing to admit. For money, they spend a large part of their lives doing things they deeply hate. So Spain is a poor country, or Spanish people poor in mindset. And it’s a pity, because some of the stories I tell in the book below, that money made through smart investing, are in Spain. And if you can make money there… trust me, you can everywhere. ​

But where is the tracking about what is in the pipeline and what is actually being delivered? If that’s not there, there is no...
Today I had some conversations about one of the biggest sources of delay, frustration, and conflict in PPPs:The Review Procedures. Agencies still treat them like they’re signing a traditional construction contract. They micromanage the design. They dive into details they don’t own. And worst of all — they brief their consultants poorly (if at all) on what the review is supposed to achieve. The result? Endless comments that add no value. Delays that push the schedule back months. An...
A few birthdays this week. And you know what. People get older. Time passes by… but they do not necessarily grow up. As Robert Kiyosaki once said “Many people run from mom and dad’s shelter to the shelter of a company or the government”. Take government and you can exchange it by “a company”, “a secure job”, “a long term project”… Too many people spend their lives looking for guarantees and spend all their lives avoiding risk, avoiding growing up, and always looking for a surrogate “parent”...
