Projects and life have a lot in common
|
When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. Failures focus on hating. Failures assume malice. Failures obsess over what they don’t like. ​ ​ Successful people always find a reason to go further. And the explanation is simple: 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. ​ That’s the first thing I’d do if I were living in slavery. ​ 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. Lessons about life and projects below.

Looking for your next dopamine hit. This applies to your life. But also to how you work. If your door is always...
Hospital PPPs have a bad reputation. Delays. Overpricing. Rigidity. You’ve heard the stories. I remember when I work at ACS that any RFP announcement of a hospital was received as the last Trump’s tweet… We didn’t know what to do about… Let’s now talk about the Alzira Hospital PPP in Spain. Launched in 1999. First of its kind. A full model: Design. Build. Finance. Operate. Not just the building. Healthcare delivery. High risk. High exposure. High scrutiny. And still… It worked. Well… somehow....
Yesterday I learned that the European Union, the climax of bureaucracy in human history, will require passports for all dogs and cats. Some countries want to be wealthy. Others want to lead in technology or AI. Others want to be the best place in the world to do business. In the meantime… the EU is busy with things that will surely make it richer, more prosperous, and a better place to live. I’m telling you this because the EU is not unique. This is everywhere. Every country, government,...
