“When I have money” is the biggest lie that I hear. “When I have money” is the biggest lie you tell yourself. “When I have money” is the self-impose mantra to keep you poor. You don’t need money to start investing or start a business. You know that. Don’t try to convince you otherwise. Just google “how to” and you’ll get a few ideas. They many not work for you, or this is what you think, that there is for sure something that you can figure out… if you want to, of course. This way of creating a self-defeating mindset is not unique to investment or money. I hear it in many forms. “When I have more experience”. “When the new position comes up, I’ll step up” “When I finish this project” “When I demonstrate to my boss that…” “When the interest rates are down…” “When the market is more stable” “When the market goes down” “When I finish this business book” “When I finish this course” “When I finish my MBA” Etc. Or my favourite: “When I’m ready” All excuses for inaction. You and your children’s future will be determined by choices you make today, not tomorrow. Think of what you could do not today, but now in improve your income, your stills, your pension fund… whatever it’s a true priority for yourself, and just do it. I can propose you this today. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Everyone loves the construction contractor. Big cranes. Huge concrete pours. Drone videos. Beautiful. But in a PPP project… Construction lasts 3 years, maybe 4… except in NZ… around 8 years – don’t ask me why. Operations last 30. And yet, people spend 90% of their time talking about construction. Very clever. And I understand… it’s the place of the big bucks; the ministers’ visit and the Public Relationship paradise. Question 72 of the course below answers a simple question: What is a good...
You hear this word a lot in PPP meetings. Bankable. “This contract must be bankable.” Everyone nods. No one asks the obvious question. What does bankable actually mean? Let me translate. A PPP contract is bankable when a bank can look at it and say: “Fine. If everything goes wrong… we still get our money back.” That’s it. Not innovation. Not sustainability. Not beautiful PowerPoints. Money back. In Question 50 of the course below, I explain what really makes a PPP contract bankable. Because...
Innovation is one of the biggest fallacies in construction and PPP contracts. Governments love the word. It appears in every PowerPoint presented to ministers, investors and journalists. Innovation. Innovation. Innovation. But what exactly is innovation? A toilet that cleans your as$ with a water jet and eliminates toilet paper. Innovation? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends. In Question 28 of the course below, I explain how “innovation” actually works in PPP bids. How to win points if you are...
