Projects and life have a lot in common

When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others.
Now that I have a little money, all I hear when someone talks about others is: “I love that guy,” “He’s brilliant,” “What a machine”, “Qué huevos tiene”, etc.

Failures focus on hating.
Successful people focus on admiring—and finding people worth admiring.

Failures assume malice.
Successful people assume kindness.

Failures obsess over what they don’t like.
Successful people are blind to what they don’t like.

Failures can’t forgive details that successful people don’t even notice.

Failures always have an excuse to justify someone else’s success.

Successful people always find a reason to go further.

And the explanation is simple:
Failures are addicted to dependency.

Because slavery takes away the heaviest burden in the universe: responsibility.

That’s why even when a slave escapes and accidentally makes money, they immediately search for something new to enslave themselves to: meetings, commitments, micro-management.

Look…

This is simple.

If you want to be free, learn to love yourself—because there is no master more cruel than the one inside your own head.

That’s the first thing I’d do if I were living in slavery.

The second? Eliminate every obstacle between what I want and what I have.

The third? Learn. Want more.

Yes.

I talk about life. Your life. My life. And projects. PPP projects. Any kind of project.

Don’t pass the hot potato. Assume your responsibility. Learn. Thrive.

People still believe that to learn you need to suffer.

But no.

It’s more simpler than that.

In case you're judging other people

To those people that try to explain the world through their views just put this on their faces: In the USA, 76 percent of people live paycheck to paycheck, some 50 percent of Americans have no money for retirement, and 47 percent of Americans don’t have $400 for an emergency. If these statistics were true in a poor country, it would be one thing, but America is considered a wealthy country, right? Judging is a waste of time.

Once upon a time... disaster?

Once upon a time, there was once a hospital PPP that had every reason to implode. The private partner was a joint venture between a French construction giant, an Aussie FM firm, and a Spanish bank that hadn’t read the contract. What could get wrong? The public sector? A government department that changed name three times during procurement. Even the Independent Certifier was late to its own appointment. All the right mindset, bricks, etc. seem to be there… and of course… the damn thing...

It's up to you what to do with these words

Your wealth adventure will be complicated by a new awareness that you are short on skills. Early on, I realized how little I knew about how to connect with people, network, communicate, build rapport, and how little confidence I had.
