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.

You can find horror stories almost everywhere. Not just developed countries. And successful ones too… as it’s not rocket science. Before 2010, the Philippines’ PPP program was infamous for all the wrong reasons: legal uncertainty, endless bid delays, weak feasibility studies, and risk allocations that scared investors away faster than typhoons. So they decided to stop, review, learn and repeat. They started to ask the market about what was wrong with the last projects. They noted. And decided...

You know that moment when a government says: “We’re launching a massive PPP program.” Or… “We are going to partner with the private sector to build roads”! Everyone claps like seals because… wow… private money, shiny highways, “international best practice,”. Re-election secured. Mexico did that in the early 90s. Fifty-two highway concessions. I repeat. 52 PPP fever everywhere. The “future” of infrastructure. And we’ll build Speedy Gonzales speed. Spoiler: It didn’t end well. Actually, it...

Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
