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.

The story about King Xerxes is fascinating, and you should know it. Look. Some clients send an angry email when infrastructure fails. Others call their lawyers. King Xerxes had even a more ambitious escalation procedure. He whipped the sea. Yes. Apparently, the King was very ambitious, in general. He had bridges built across the Hellespont so his Persian army could cross into Europe. Until here… All good. The issue is that a storm destroyed the bridges. At the time, they did not have ACONEX...
There is a beautiful moment in every project. The green dashboard. That’s where all bosses and politicians that never came to visit start to get excited. The speeches are ready. Everyone important has found a clean high-vis vest. Even new boots… yes, now that there is no mood. Then somebody makes the unreasonable decision to use the infrastructure. Welcome to Heathrow Terminal 5. 27 March 2008. £4.3 billion. On time. Within budget. The sort of numbers that make a Board presentation...
Ah… Time flies and PPPs finally arrive to the end… like a terrible elected leader term… Getting your infrastructure back at the end of a concession sounds lovely. Like removing Pedro Sanchez from office. The debt is paid. The concessionaire leaves. You get the asset. Like collecting your car after lending it to a friend. Except your friend has had it for 25 years. And “the tyres are fine” means they are still technically round. Oups… Do you remember the terms of the return? 2018 Severn...
