Something you need to hear from time to time

Being bank holiday in New Zealand today, I just have the luxury of my kid’s siesta to keep going. So let’s be brief. ​ Just a reflexion. ​ The same instincts that keep you safe… are also keeping you small.
It’s called Passive Ambition. You crave freedom, but fear risk You want all the upside, but avoid volatility You dream big, but act small ​ Look. Every person you admire once looked like a fool. Entrepreneur. Athlete. Builder. Whatever.
Building anything meaningful starts with a bet, usually on yourself. No safety net. No guarantee. The world is mostly built by people who didn’t wait for permission, they just started. Even when it felt reckless. Even when it felt lonely. Even when you have 2 hours of siesta time.
The scariest part is realizing no one’s coming to save you. But the best part is realizing you don’t need them to. ​ People get richer. People get better. People get further. In their spare time. ​ What you do with it, today, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will make the difference that will set you apart. A little action more than the rest. Over and over. Day after day. The compound interest will do the rest. ​ Up to you. ​ Don’t be embarrassed and start now. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

Elections coming. Pictures required. They called it an “inauguration.” Big words, big smiles, big scissors. Big rush. Of course… the project wasn’t ready. But, politicians of the world, don’t let reality to f*ck you a good picture with a first page on the journal… Half the lights didn’t work. No problem… cut the ribbon at noon. Paint in the maintenance and operations building still wet. Specially the green one outside… Contractor hiding the unfinished lane with orange cones. But the Minister?...
It was a test. Just for fun. I get an idea, I test it immediately. No second guesses. No “mañanas”. When I started selling services through this newsletter, there was something I knew was far more important than the services themselves. Transformation. Awareness. Control. Network. I was totally aware of this. And it’s something you should never lose sight of. No matter if it is for your own business or you work for someone else. But also… communication. It doesn’t matter how good you are at...
Does the public sector do it right – I’m asked many times. The short answer is Yes. And more often than you think. But you don’t get it into the headlines. This project is not very known for the great work of the parties involved. But you should know. The script is simple.PPP starts.Private side over-promises.Public side signs without reading. Then the claims rain down like monsoon season in Manila… or politicians on elections rally. M4 East Motorway, Sydney.Australia.Toll road.AUD 3.8...
