It's been a miracle
|
The world is a hard place. Not only if you live now in Canada, Panama or Greenland. It’s a hard place. Period. People that say that money is not important have no idea of the power of money. It’s freedom. It’s choices. I just saw today the picture of a newborn among other 60 immigrants in a patera, a ship that you won’t use to fish in a lake with a couple of friends, used to travel with other 60 people, hundreds of miles in the Atlantic, from Africa to Spain. The newborn was born in that patera. In that ship. Rescuing him alive was a miracle. Money moves people to risk their lives or their most precious possession. Money allowed to locate these people, to rescue these people and to make miracles. I don’t know about you, but this is the best piece of news I’ve seen in a while. You surely have more choices. If you want to do good for the world, make money, get rich, use your freedom to do good… and, if possible, miracles. I’m in my way. Below it is how. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

World-class infrastructure. This is what I hear 90% of the time in any room on the client side. Let’s be honest. PPPs are often seen as the silver bullet to deliver big, bigger, massive stuff. The longest. The highest. The most advanced. The more expensive. Then things get into trouble and whose fault is it? The private sector. “Super expensive.” “Incredibly expensive.” “The private sector is making billions out of the poor, ingenious, and naïve taxpayer.” Give me a break. When your client...
You’re the preferred bidder. You’ve survived the RFQ bloodbath. You’ve outlasted two global consortia. You’ve negotiated 1,200 comments on the Project Agreement. You’re tired. But you’re smiling. Because you’re “there”. And your bonus, and your holidays to Fiji, “almost there”. Or so you think. In 2014, the East West Link PPP in Melbourne had a preferred bidder. Contracts were executed. Advisors were celebrating. Many, already paid. Then elections happened. Ahhh… the famous political risk of...
Yesterday I was talking about clarity.Or better said, about simplicity.If you’re not capable of putting it clearly, you don’t have the "pajorera" (faintest damn) idea what you’re talking about. Simplifying is a superpower. How many times have I seen the best technicians we could find for a task make a presentation to a Board of Directors.Charts.Twisted words beyond belief.More jargon… as if it were a competition to see who can pee the furthest.In the end…The sound of crickets. Trying to...
