The end in your mind
|
Holidays in Spain are great. Workout, breakfast, work, lunch, work, diner, work. Making progress. Selling one project. Finishing another. Getting finance for another one. Life is good. Work is good. Because of focus and passion. When you get clarify about what you want to achieve… things start to flow. ​ I see many people I mentor with lack of clarity. They jump from one shiny object to the next. From one project to the next. From one position to the next. From one company to the next. Never satisfied. Never fulfilled. ​ Change for the sake of change will just give you momentary relief. A few months, maybe a couple of years. ​ I recommend starting everything with the end in your mind. Then, you move backwords until now. ​ This works with careers, projects and businesses. ​ Once that you do the exercise, everything gets clearer. ​ This is the philosophy around this course below.

I come from Spain and one of my first babies were the R5 and R3 radial roads, at the time ACS’s concessions. And...
Recently, I assisted with horror to a meeting where I was told that the respondents of an RFP had no limit of pages in their offers. They asked my opinion. My answer was graphic. If I was the bid manager and I had a gun, I would use it. No limits. OMG. The last shoes that you want to wear are those of the bid managers in the RFP. Imagine yourself with that burden. No limits. And the risk of these guys awarding a several billions dollars contract by the weight of the paper brought in the...
The worst thing that can happen to a man, woman or chair is becoming civilized.Because then spending time in an office meeting people they don’t like and doing things that they hate under halogen lights feels acceptable.And using a ThinkPad with Windows. And preparing a PowerPoint. And eating the daily lunch special.And being afraid to ask for a raise. And when you point it out to him (to her, to it, to them) he tells you that “it is what it is,” that “what can you do,” that “life is like...
