It's up to you what to do with these words
|
Your wealth adventure will be complicated by a new awareness that you are short on skills. Early on, I realized how little I knew about how to connect with people, network, communicate, build rapport, and how little confidence I had. I didn’t know how to sell, market, promote, build value, negotiate, close deals, or follow up customers. I couldn’t handle disappointment and rejection and I wasn’t even dealing with money yet. ------- Grant Cardone For those that want to start your house by the roof, be aware. It will be longer than you think. It will be more painful than you think. It will take more effort than you think. And, it will be more rewarding than you think… at the end. You may believe it or not. It’s up to you to consider these words as wisdom. It’s up to you what to do with them. I leave it there… Just as the words that you can find in the link below.

Think of: the banks the equity providers the consultants …and yes, the taxpayer When PPPs are done right, they work. When...
“I’m a PPP freak.” That’s what I told a client last week. Then I killed the deal in 30 minutes. “But this is not a PPP project.” No model. No workshops. No 200-page reports. Just experience. Because after you’ve seen enough projects, the disasters, the political theatre, the “too good to be true” bids… you start seeing patterns. Fast. You don’t need months. You need clarity. 30 minutes is enough to know: if a project is bankable… or dead on arrival if the contract creates value… or prints...
2012 Kenya. Elections coming. Security concerns rising. Investors… nervous. And still… The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project pushed toward financial close. 310 MW. One of the largest wind farms in Africa. Remote. Very remote. No proper roads. Weak grid. Logistics… borderline insane. Ideas such as domesticate zebras on the table… This wasn’t a project. This was a bet. And the closing? Just what I love… Pure tension. Lenders asking for more guarantees. Sponsors juggling political risk. Government...
