When healthy food is available and junk food isn’t, you eat better. When your phone’s in greyscale and you delete social apps, you look at your phone less. When you set up automatic transfers to your savings account, you save more. ​ This is not me. It’s science. ​ It’s not just willpower.

Prepare your clothes, your shoes… or create a gym at home… make it impossible to miss. No distractions? Send your mobile phone to hell, disconnect internet, put your favourite playlist… ​ Habits and environments. That simple. ​ No wonder why if you stick around successful people, you tend to be successful yourself. You enter in an environment that favours success.

It’s probably one of those fields, most people mess up. Clients. Banks. SPVs… All parties alike. You have insurance to cover accidents on site causing...
I’m doing quite a lot of work these days with market lead proposals. I mean, proposals coming directly from the market and made to the government of New Zealand. I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it. IP, exclusive rights to...
Time for a ridiculous story from the world of infrastructure contracts. You know, those multi-billion-dollar deals where one tiny typo can turn into a legendary office joke. Well… here you are one. Picture this. Somewhere in Europe. A massive bridge project. The contract is huge, hundreds of pages of legal and technical jargon. In the middle of all that, there was supposed to be a clause that said the contractor had to provide a "large-tonnage crane." Don’t ask why. Maybe some stupid Spanish...
