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.

“I’m a PPP freak.” That’s what I told a client last week. Then I killed the deal in 30 minutes. “But this is not a PPP project.” No model. No workshops. No 200-page reports. Just experience. Because after you’ve seen enough projects, the disasters, the political theatre, the “too good to be true” bids… you start seeing patterns. Fast. You don’t need months. You need clarity. 30 minutes is enough to know: if a project is bankable… or dead on arrival if the contract creates value… or prints...

2012 Kenya. Elections coming. Security concerns rising. Investors… nervous. And still… The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project pushed toward financial close. 310 MW. One of the largest wind farms in Africa. Remote. Very remote. No proper roads. Weak grid. Logistics… borderline insane. Ideas such as domesticate zebras on the table… This wasn’t a project. This was a bet. And the closing? Just what I love… Pure tension. Lenders asking for more guarantees. Sponsors juggling political risk. Government...

That’s how many countries approach infrastructure. Big pipeline. Big announcements. Zero learning. Norway did the opposite. Smart those guys. In the early 2000s, they tested PPPs with just three projects: E39 Klett–Bårdshaug (opened 2005) E39 Lyngdal–Flekkefjord (opened 2006) E18 Grimstad–Kristiansand (opened 2009) That’s it. Three shots. Not fifteen. Not a political fireworks show. A controlled experiment. Same model. Same timeframe. Comparable results. And guess what? They delivered. On...
