People for your journey

I’ve met a few these last weeks… so I can deduct that the world is full of who dream of quitting their job and become entrepreneurs, running their own business, running investments, living somewhere else or taking more control of their lives. The problem is that their dream is just a dream. It’s a question of priorities. A question of courage. ​ I was not very courageous, I must confess. ​ This is why I decided to act with the two feet on the ground. ​ All started with side businesses. All failed. ​ Then one real estate business… I failed, and lost lots of money. But I learned a lot. I didn’t give up. I kept trying and learning. ​ Then, a second real estate business. It started well… then problems, more problems… But I keep learning and trying. ​ Then, a consultancy business… Then, a newsletter. Then, coaching business… ​ And so on. Learning. Adjusting. Reviewing. Adjusting. Doubling down in what it works. Consistently. ​ In personal growth and, even business, you only lose when you give up. When you see your setbacks as learning experiences, you live more relaxed, and you sleep better despite the complexities and anxieties… The journey is what is important, not the destination. This is why, I keep going. ​ Mentors and coaches are an important part of that journey. Do it alone because you know it all… won’t get you into your full potential. ​ I have a proposal for you today. You can get it below.

Great power comes with greater responsibilities. When I come to Spain and I see the infrastructure of a relatively medium to high income country has and how this infrastructure has changed the lives of millions of people, you feel the weight on your shoulders. If you work in infrastructure, you are in a sector that is essential. I’m watching the AI revolution carefully. But the way a new road changes the lives of thousands of people with or without mobile phones in an instant is still too...
Every December, projects enter a strange parallel universe. And this week everything explodes. Budgets are frozen. Teams disappear. And every email ends with “before the Christmas break, please.” If you have been in “a Change approved before the Christmas break”. “A package submitted before…”. Etc. You’re in the trap. I did it once… Years ago. A change to be “approved” before the end of the year. So we rushed. Design team, commercial, legal, operations, the construction… everyone. Sleepless...
As many of you, I’m flying now. Holidays. Family. “Relax”… if a three years-old allow you to do so. Before I used my more than 20 hours of flight time to catch up with movies or read that book I definitely wanted to have read before arriving to destination. Now, I have to sync my sleep with the little one and get into the loop of all Disney Cars movies and Bluey shows. Still I have time to think of my next project. My next investment. And not just real estate, but also education and training....
