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.

I get it. I’ve been CEO. I know what ego feels like. That urge to change things. To leave your mark. To justify the big salary. I get it. But changing things that already work? Just to prove you exist? No. That I don’t get. Look. I’ve been speaking with people across PPP and Real Estate. Different countries. Same story. “Like beheaded chickens.” Clients changing direction mid-procurement. Swapping teams halfway through. Rewriting strategy… in the middle of a transaction. Yes. That bad. Even...

Most consultants are expensive spectators. Nice slides.Clean Excel models.Zero impact. They show up.They talk.They disappear. And the project?Still stuck. In the mouse wheel… running but still in the same place. It may be the perverse incentive of maximizing gains by increasing scope and delaying everything… although that’s for another days. Look… In big projects, nobody pays you for your time.They pay you for one thing: Movement. Decisions made.Problems killed.Risks reduced.Money saved....

This is a nice week for me. Birthday and week of great decisions. Decisions on my businesses. Decisions on my investments. Important ones. You see… I feel butterflies in my stomach. Fear. Doubts. So, I know perfectly well that I’m growing. I’m making progress. Look. Matt Gray, someone you should follow on LinkedIn – it’s free and you’ll learn a lot from him – said the other day that your circle establishes your ceiling. Your boss. Your friends. Your business partners. Your colleagues. Etc....
