Success is inevitable

“Raise the bar on yourself. Never settle for doing “enough.” Today’s world is competitive and moves so quickly that you will have to raise your stamina level if you expect to remain in the competition or to even get into the competition to begin with” – D. Trump Yes, he is Donald Trump. People, especially in Europe, are still wondering how he won the elections. Others observed, enjoyed, eating popcorns despite the spoiler. Even if you don’t like him, the truth is that he is right. Doing just what’s expected is the perfect receipt for failure, for the inconsequential, for remaining invisible. No trouble, but no glory. Just one number. If you are of those few that want to raise the bar. Do more. Go beyond. Study. Read. Go to a seminar. Buy a course. Find new friends that are further than you are in your way to the top. Or find a mentor... like for example, by clicking below. Only until 31 January.

Short-term thinking. The same people who forget that not long ago we had: warnings that were too soft impacts that were worse...
“Surely the English hate me, but the Scots love me… and that’s what matters.” — Diego Armando Maradona There’s an immortal lesson in that sentence. You’re not going to be popular defending PPPs. Pushing PPPs. Loving PPPs. Delivering PPPs. Or being the one in the room who actually understands them. And that’s fine. Because this isn’t about popularity. It’s about outcomes. Think of: the banks the equity providers the consultants …and yes, the taxpayer When PPPs are done right, they work. When...
“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...
