Phones, tablets, robots… Every skill you have today and that you believe is marketable won't be in a few short years. These will be some skills though that will remain in extreme demand for a decade or so. AI engineers. Why? Because somebody needs to deploy the wonderful alien technology we've discovered - to increase automation of every company and organization. Some will become millionaires, and billionaires. Most will be employees. I saw the trend 25 years ago with communications. Great jobs, great opportunities to create your companies… Now, telecom engineers are pure commodity. This cycle happens all the time. This is why getting just a new diploma, a new degree, a new certificate, won’t save you. It’s not a waste of time or money, no. I’m not saying that. It’s always good to learn new things. It is just that despite those new learnings and trends, there is one, and one only that keeps you going on. Not for the next decade, but many more year. Your personal growth. Control on your career, on your business, on your money. It took me a long, long time to realize that it’s not knowledge, but communication. It’s not studying, but action. It’s not perfectionism, but learning from mistakes. It’s not a pay check, but a stream of revenues that will keep you in the right track when retirement time arrives. Last day at this price.

Resources. It’s always a question of resources. Your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. All the same. They cheap you in with the resources. "Save here". "Save there". "$10k more of salary for this key person is too much…" in a $1bn project! "We can’t afford it". Etc. Then, one day… We are in a rush. Because someone told your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. That you needed more resources immediately. Additional scope. An urgent solution. And other excuses made...
Imagine that you’re in the middle of a settlement to buy a big property. Your people are telling you that there are a few defects. That you should hold the settlement. Or make a retention. Fight until the vendor repairs. Only one question to the team. “Is it more than 2.000$?” “Around that, yes” “Then forget it” “Why?” “Just the cost in legal fees to submit emails, agree retentions, etc. can cost about that money. Not worthy in a several millions purchase”. If that sounds logical to you,...
Masa is the founder of a Japanese bank and one of the greatest investors in history. Once, the guy went to the authority responsible for issuing the licences required to sell internet services and threatened to set himself on fire if they didn’t give him one immediately. He had been asking for it for a while. Something many don’t understand is that success requires conflict. Raising up in the food chain too.
