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.

Another breath. And things started to make sense. Then I realized what the problem was about. Length. The report was too...
In a meeting. Not long ago. Something cost 15 one month ago, and then… now it costs only 10… No matter if I’m talking about millions or billions. It’s the same. This is what crossed my mind… Do you want an award? Or… a pat in your back? Or being fired? The question to you. What would you do? Well… in my case, I wanted to be polite, be positive and constructive and all that sh*t that MBAs teach around the world. So I just said politely. “If that’s true, you should be fired”. Yeah… I had to...
Early brief: “Deliver a shiny new light rail through Sydney’s CBD. Easy. Everyone loves trams.” Translation: scope unclear, assumptions heroic, risks buried under PowerPoint. They signed a PPP anyway. The CBD & South East Light Rail (CSELR) looked great on slides. A 12-km network. Wrapped in a neat PP. Design, build, finance, operate, maintain. The promise: reliable transport, urban sparkle, political selfies. But, as usual, then construction met reality. The contract drawings and utilities...
