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.

Eastern Europe. Late 2000s. If you are old enough, you can feel the context. A massive highways PPP. Toll road. Billions in capex. One of those “nation-building” projects politicians love to parade in front of TV cameras. You can smell now the country… Your consortia are seasoned. Anyone knowing how to pour asphalt on top of something lined up. Your lenders are aligned. Your traffic advisors have gone blind staring at stochastic models. Everyone is gearing up for a clean, competitive...
I buy houses, apartments and buildings from 20.000km distance. In Spain, Panama, New Zealand… and I can stay anywhere. Of course, I don’t recommend that for you. Some people want to push globalization too much. Having assets in London, NY, Madrid, Singapore, Sydney, etc. at the same time is not good for your health, nor your pocket. You miss specialization. You miss learning and knowing well a market. When bidding PPP projects, I have seen successful bidders doing so from the distance....
It happens a few weeks ago. “Tell me about Madrid and Spain, how do you do it? I heard a business case that Madrid has been able to deliver the cheapest tunnels in the world…” I did not know about that case, but my answer was simple: “Do you know how many TMBs had Madrid at the time?” Look. If you want cheap infrastructure, create a pipeline. Madrid had during more than 10 years between 7 and 8 TBMs (the machines to make tunnels in engineering slang). They are extremely costly. So, they...
