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.

Those who know me well know that I’m not a football fan. Or soccer. Whatever you prefer. But I watched the last ten minutes of Spain’s match—my only ten minutes of the World Cup… yes, I know—and I was amazed. And happy, by the way. Beating Argentina is always fun. Especially after their famous “Devolvé la copa” a few years ago… But that’s not the point. The point is that, within five minutes, the internet was full of memes. Messi crying like a baby. Lamine Yamal—or Yamil, Yamile… you know I’m...

As I was involved… I still look at it very closely. A multibillion-dollar bridge ready. Roads built. Border facilities prepared. And traffic still waiting. The opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Canada and the United States had to be postponed while both governments resolved a series of outstanding issues. Not construction issues. Interface issues. Don’t blame Trump. It’s deeper than that. People consistently underestimate in major infrastructure: The asset is not...

As Robert Kiyosaki once said: “Opportunities repeat themselves because people repeat the same mistakes.” Markets change. People don’t. New projects. Same optimism. New investors. Same herd behaviour. New PPPs. Same bad risk allocation. New SPVs. Same surprise when operations become a monster. The great advisers are not the ones chasing the hot market. They are the ones studying the repeated mistakes. Once you recognise the pattern, you stop being another consultant with opinions. You become...
