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’ve been closing some insurance policies these days. For myself. Health, life, mortgage, etc. You don’t appreciate enough a good broker until you get one. If you’re serious about investing, this is your second more important broker after your mortgage broker. But I don’t want to talk to you about personal insurance. But PPP insurance. It’s probably one of those fields, most people mess up. Clients. Banks. SPVs… All parties alike. You have insurance to cover accidents on site causing...

I’m doing quite a lot of work these days with market lead proposals. I mean, proposals coming directly from the market and made to the government of New Zealand. I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it. IP, exclusive rights to...

Time for a ridiculous story from the world of infrastructure contracts. You know, those multi-billion-dollar deals where one tiny typo can turn into a legendary office joke. Well… here you are one. Picture this. Somewhere in Europe. A massive bridge project. The contract is huge, hundreds of pages of legal and technical jargon. In the middle of all that, there was supposed to be a clause that said the contractor had to provide a "large-tonnage crane." Don’t ask why. Maybe some stupid Spanish...
