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.

In 2014. France. A true and very well documented story. The government ordered a new generation of regional trains. Beautiful trains. Modern. More comfortable. Not the smelly crap that they had when I studied in Paris… Nah… €15 billion of good trains. But someone forgot a small detail… The trains did not fit in many of the stations. You can think that those should be the basis… But no… Small details… Why bothering when we’re buying 15 billion of these things… The result? Around 1,300 platform...
Sometimes you receive funny comments and emails… Like… “Do I have to pay for a call?” as if until very recently there was not a time with no unlimited forfeits on your phone and you had to pay for EACH call… Look. I charge US$49.90 for a first call. Not enough to make me rich. At least not yet… and of course, not at that price. But the cost is still enough to make someone stop and ask: “Do I actually have a problem worth discussing?” Free calendars tend to attract three things: “Can I pick...
IBM had the best add possible: “Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” The logic was simple… as it was people they targeted. If it worked, fine. If it failed, nobody could blame you. You had chosen the biggest name. The sure name. Then a competitor added: “And nobody ever got promoted for buying IBM either.” Brilliant. Look. Too many advisers and providers are still selected like this. Through fear. The biggest logo. The thickest proposal. The largest team. The safe choice. Then the proposal...
