This week I’ve been quite busy. Just launching into the market two new short-term rentals. Looking at the dishwasher, some furniture, attending the internet technical guy… things like that. I could probably delegate all this, but sometimes, you want to be on top of everything. Why do I do this? Why, would you ask. Because I like it… and because I do believe that money is important. Very important. You may like it more or less, but 99% of the decisions you will make in the future will be influenced by the money in your wallet. Or maybe 99.99%... I could be wrong with the decimals… Where you live, how you live, the number of generic brands in your fridge, and the school your children attend will depend on the money you manage. Now, I’m not saying it should be the center of your life… its importance is just only a little below the air you breath… But it is certainly a huge help in keeping the real center running smoothly. So, wouldn’t it be a better idea to establish a healthy relationship with money and make an effort to understand how to save it, invest it, or generate it? I’d say yes. But that’s just my opinion. Money is not your enemy. It’s not the devil. It’s not a spiritual obstacle. What I’m trying to tell my young child is that, on the contrary, money is a wonderful universal agreement. A beautiful way to acknowledge the value received and given. And ignoring its importance is denying both our era and human intelligence. I insist—this isn’t about obsessing over money, but about understanding and integrating its relevance in the times we live in. Otherwise, you should have been born earlier—or later. That said, there are a thousand places that can help you grasp this idea, and nine hundred and ninety-nine of them are probably great. But this one (which happens to be mine, and which I proudly and happily invite you to buy) is too. Do you want to know why I’m doing short term rentals?

World-class infrastructure. This is what I hear 90% of the time in any room on the client side. Let’s be honest. PPPs are often seen as the silver bullet to deliver big, bigger, massive stuff. The longest. The highest. The most advanced. The more expensive. Then things get into trouble and whose fault is it? The private sector. “Super expensive.” “Incredibly expensive.” “The private sector is making billions out of the poor, ingenious, and naïve taxpayer.” Give me a break. When your client...
You’re the preferred bidder. You’ve survived the RFQ bloodbath. You’ve outlasted two global consortia. You’ve negotiated 1,200 comments on the Project Agreement. You’re tired. But you’re smiling. Because you’re “there”. And your bonus, and your holidays to Fiji, “almost there”. Or so you think. In 2014, the East West Link PPP in Melbourne had a preferred bidder. Contracts were executed. Advisors were celebrating. Many, already paid. Then elections happened. Ahhh… the famous political risk of...
Yesterday I was talking about clarity.Or better said, about simplicity.If you’re not capable of putting it clearly, you don’t have the "pajorera" (faintest damn) idea what you’re talking about. Simplifying is a superpower. How many times have I seen the best technicians we could find for a task make a presentation to a Board of Directors.Charts.Twisted words beyond belief.More jargon… as if it were a competition to see who can pee the furthest.In the end…The sound of crickets. Trying to...
