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.

Recently, I had the opportunity to provide some advice to someone living in Africa. He is advising the Government on a new series of PPP. The next target is the rehabilitation and transformation of two old buildings into landmark spaces to be used by the Government at 60%. The rest… lot of flexibility. Maybe too much. And lots of unknowns. To make this project attractive, or at least palatable we should provide to the proponents either access to the buildings so that they can satisfy...
In a recent interview, an expensive consultant… those that charge you for their offices in the middle of Manhattan and all the MBA fees of the Ivy League graduates, responded the following on TV to this question: “Are there some main causes behind startup failure?” The answer was: “Yes. There are.” Which ones? No market need – 42% Ran out of cash – 29% Not the right team – 23% Got outcompeted – 19% Pricing/cost issues – 18% Poor product – 17% Flawed or missing business model – 17% Poor...
