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.

Millions watching it live… with popcorns. Oups… This was not an abandoned building. This was not chaos. This was a controlled environment. Or at...
They opened it. And it collapsed. Just like that. March 2018. Florida. Around these “Easter” days. A brand-new pedestrian bridge at Florida International University pedestrian bridge. Award-winning design. Fast-track construction. Public praise. And six people dead. Just like that… Cracks had already appeared. Not hidden. Not subtle. Visible. I repeat… f**** visible. Engineers saw them. Discussed them. And decided there was no safety issue. Hours later… it collapsed. Let me translate this...
Something worse than pricing a mega-project with consultants? Adding a second consultant to “validate” the price. Worse? A third one doing a peer review. Don’t laugh. This happens… Every day. Governments behaving like headless chickens. Not knowing what to do… but doing something anyway. Anything. Because “we need robust numbers.” Because “we need to protect public money.” So they spend millions… just to feel safe. Good luck with that. Let me simplify it for you. When you renovate your...
