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.

You probably know it. 1999 NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter. One team supplied data in English units. The other expected metric. The spacecraft travelled for nine months before the mistake became everybody’s problem. That is a very long journey to discover you needed one awkward conversation. Now, I’m not suggesting you’re about to lose a spacecraft. Your project or your job has its own ways of making you miserable. You sit in a meeting. Someone says, “The contractor has accepted that...

A few of you have complained that the prices of some courses in The Room have gone up. And that The Room itself costs more now. Yes. That’s true. Look. The feedback I keep getting is that I’m practically giving away 20 years of PPP experience for peanuts. So I’ve decided to make the peanuts slightly more expensive. As I say on every course page, prices will never go down. They can only go up. And look… they already have. If you’re already inside The Room, your price is yours for life. If you...

For the last few days, I’ve been watching PAW Patrol: The Movie with my son… Several times. You know… school holidays… At this point, I could write the technical due diligence report without using my notes. An idiot becomes mayor of Adventure City. His first infrastructure idea? Put a loop in the metro line. A loop. For a train full of people. On the first trip, logically the train gets stuck upside down and everyone needs to be rescued. It seems someone forgot to calculate that a train is...
