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.

If you thought that nothing could be worse than yesterday example, let me tell you something. Again, the UK. NMC Health was a FTSE 100 company. It operated hundreds of healthcare facilities across the Middle East. It was worth billions. And every year, EY audited its accounts. Seven years. Seven unqualified audit opinions. Around ÂŁ14 million in audit fees. Everything appeared fine. Until 17 December 2019. That day, a small research firm called Muddy Waters published a report. It questioned...

I love the UK’s market… it has shown us so many things… Let’s take for example the UK Post Office. Early 2010s. The guys had a problem. Its Horizon accounting system said money was disappearing. Yeah… just like that… And you still wonder about Brexit… Anyway… the Post Office blamed the usual suspects… the people operating it. Hundreds were prosecuted. Some went to prison. Lives were destroyed. And for years, the official position remained essentially the same: The system works. Ole, with 2...

I always say that politicians cost taxpayers billions. And not because of their salaries, the salaries of their friends and advisers, or the favours repaid while they are in office—or afterwards. No. Because of their incompetence and lack of common sense. For example… Never announce the marriage while you are still negotiating the prenup. This is common sense. Still, politicians with billions in their hands throw common sense in the bin. We even have well-documented cases. With papers… And...
