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.

Yesterday a subscriber told me that writing every day was too much. Too much pressure. I answered back as Grant Cardone would do. “Sir, you’re confusing my belief and passion in knowing this is the right product for you and your company with pressure. Please don’t misinterpret my enthusiasm for pressure. Now, let’s do this”. To all people with passion. To all people that love to deliver better infrastructure. This is for you.

These days, still in Spain, I had the opportunity to talk to many infrastructure professionals. Things are slow. Bad. Nothing new. Construction companies are risk averse. They prefer private clients now… aka, data centers and batteries. Projects are small. Lenders are worried. Etc. Look. Every guru out there is writing, talking, showing "projections for 2026"... It's as typical as the new year eve. It arrives every year. Together with their mistakes. And my friends, gurus included, forget...
You learn by doing. As Robert Kiyosaki said if you think that mistakes are bad, you’re doomed. Imagine yourself with this attitude: “I’ve taken action, I’ve made some mistakes, and now I can learn from those mistakes”. In this case, you’ll be a much richer person. In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...
