My last day


Today is my last day at NX2.

Last day.

6 years as a CEO.

​

Why leaving?

I needed a change.

Yes, just like that.

Bye, bye, big salary, big bonuses, big responsibilities working for others.

Bye, bye… last day.

​

I could have added a speech about my great team, our great job, our achievements, etc… but I let those things for the people that love to talk about the weather.

​

There is a perfect time to move on, and mine was well overdue.

Now, no plans. No commitments. No work. No rush.

Just freedom, and many ideas in my head.

Calm, and satisfaction. Even some dreams.

​

I have been building during years my financial freedom and now it’s time to taste it as good coffee.

Time with my child. Time to do a few things at home. Time to walk in the park under the sun. Time to practice some kung-fu… mental and physical.

​

Look, when coffee is roasted it creates many chemical reactions.

One of those reactions builds-up carbon dioxide.

Good coffee comes in packages with one-way valves. They allow carbon-dioxide to escape without allowing oxygen into the package.

Coffee reaches its peak in flavour from around 12-15 days after the roast date. Then, flavour goes down and coffee ages with exposure to oxygen.

​

I had the time for my chemical reactions. I matured my ideas, my experience, my businesses, and now, I feel it’s my time to build something great and big.

Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...

“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...

I have a few face-to-face mentees and they have 3 types of problems: You say you became an entrepreneur to be free… but you work more hours than ever.You say you want to help… but you can barely help yourself.You say you’re chasing freedom… but you’ve built your own cage. I’m sure it also sounds familiar to you.And I also know it’s not your fault. It’s the fault of all the bullsh*t promises they sold you:That entrepreneurship would make you free.That you just need more followers.That what...
