Something to do not tomorrow, but today


“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.

You’re dropped into a project. No time. No context. “Figure it out.” Good. There are only 3 questions that matter. I repeat, only 3. Not 10 or 20. Just 3: What needs to be done? Who is doing it now? Is that the right person? That’s it. That’s the whole job. And by the way… That’s every serious managerial role. If you answer those 3 properly, you win. If you don’t… Welcome to the world of: Long hours. Endless meetings. Zero real progress. You’ll be stuck working on the 80%… That delivers 20%....

I get it. I’ve been CEO. I know what ego feels like. That urge to change things. To leave your mark. To justify the big salary. I get it. But changing things that already work? Just to prove you exist? No. That I don’t get. Look. I’ve been speaking with people across PPP and Real Estate. Different countries. Same story. “Like beheaded chickens.” Clients changing direction mid-procurement. Swapping teams halfway through. Rewriting strategy… in the middle of a transaction. Yes. That bad. Even...

Most consultants are expensive spectators. Nice slides.Clean Excel models.Zero impact. They show up.They talk.They disappear. And the project?Still stuck. In the mouse wheel… running but still in the same place. It may be the perverse incentive of maximizing gains by increasing scope and delaying everything… although that’s for another days. Look… In big projects, nobody pays you for your time.They pay you for one thing: Movement. Decisions made.Problems killed.Risks reduced.Money saved....
