I read a few days ago that Robert Kiyosaki once said: Professionals have coaches. Amateurs do not. I didn’t know about this, but it cannot be closer to the truth. Successful people look for mentors and coaches. No matter if you are a business owner or someone trying to go up through the corporate ladder. Think of the most successful people you can imagine and they always try to improve themselves with the help of people that were a few steps ahead. If you don’t do it, don’t complain. You’re just being lazy. You’re playing in this world to be an amateur. ​ I won’t tell you how much I spend in training, coaches and mentors per year, but next time that you envy someone because he is going faster than you, think of whether that person is doing something different to you. ​ Only today I offer 3 seats on this. ​

No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...
I was talking yesterday to my real estate agent, and we arrived at the same conclusion. There are so many opportunities out there! Just a question of picking up the right one! But there are so many, that you don’t know what to choose. Exactly that happens in many fields these days. PPPs for example. Agencies launch a new project and they expect companies lining up for the bid. Then… they find the hard way that there is just silence in the room. Zero excitement. Too many projects and agencies...
Most projects fail for boring reasons.Not for lack of brains.Not for lack of money.For lack of aligned incentives. Boring, because they repeat over and over. We write 300 pages of clauses. Pay great sums to lawyers working with the best views and more expensive offices. Then we hope.And hope is not a control. You want performance?Make winning for them the same as winning for you.Make losing for them the same as losing for you. Simple. Brutal. Fair. In PPPs, I’ve seen both worlds. World A:...
