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.

There was a time when managing a project meant managing a project. You know. Cost. Time. Quality. Safety. The usual boring stuff. Then someone discovered KPIs. Key Performance Indicators. Beautiful invention by consultants paid by the slide. And who have never actually managed a project. They design 47 KPIs. Each with a definition. A formula. A weighting. A threshold. And a 93-page document explaining how they work. Or how they're supposed to work… Of course, nobody really knows… but they...
A helicopter is a jodidamente difficult machine. To fly one, you must coordinate several controls simultaneously. Get one wrong, and things become… let’s say unpleasant. Get several wrong, and your career as a pilot may be short. First, you learn to take off. Then to fly. Then to fly at night. Then in formation. Then, perhaps, in combat. And only after mastering all that might someone reasonably ask you to land on a moving aircraft carrier. In the middle of a storm. At night. Now, imagine the...
Imagine two houses. The first has a beautiful kitchen. Italian marble. Designer bathrooms. And a motorway running 20 metres from the bedroom. The second has an ugly kitchen. Terrible paint. And bathrooms that haven't been touched since 1987. But it's in a fantastic location. Which one would you buy? Unless you have a particular affection for motorway noise, probably the second. Applying the following concept is where you make the money. You can replace a kitchen. You can repaint the walls....
