The reason why you need to move your culo


Attitude is everything.

Stay around with people depressed that criticizes all is happening around (Trump, tariffs, war, Putin, oil, bitcoin), and you’ll be depressed too.

Optimism is a powerful weapon.

I’d say that stay away of people that don’t share optimism and see opportunities everywhere.

Instead of “that won’t work”, think of and stay around with people with a “how do I apply that” mindset.

The key to success is knowing how to stay motivated in the face of barriers, stops, and things not going quite the way you’d hoped or planned.

And for that, you need attitude.

There is a secret though.

How to keep motivated.

And it’s simpler than you think.

The number one way for me to stay motivated is to stay busy moving quickly from one activity to the next without a lot of time in between.

That’s it.

Then, you’ll need to stay busy doing the right things, those that truly produces results, those that you “don’t feel like” to do… those ones, precisely, are the ones that you need to do inmediately.

Calling a client. Going to a fair and meet more people. Visiting 100 apartments. Sending 25 bids…

The reality is if you are moving fast enough, it won’t matter because you are going to the next activity.

My motivation, and yours, comes from my attention on the future, not from something done in the past.

Stay motivated.

Stay aware.

Stay busy doing the right things.

Grow.

Move your culo and get things done.

An infrastructure fund manager has three problems. First, raise the capital. Not easy. Second, deploy the capital. Also not easy. Because after telling LPs you have access to a wonderful infrastructure pipeline, eventually you need to buy something. Small detail. And third… Invest the capital in something that does not behave like what the fund promised to invest in. That is where careers become interesting. It’s not only about losing money. It’s walking into the Investment Committee and...

Auckland’s City Rail Link is finally open. Yes. Finally. After years of works. Road cones. Traffic disruption. Political fights. Budget headlines. People explaining why it should have been cheaper. People explaining why it should never have been built. People explaining why Auckland is not London, Madrid, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris or any other city with trains. And of course… People explaining everything after the project is finished. My favourite type of infrastructure expert. But here...

Good morning, Silicon Valley has discovered project finance. Congratulations. Only took them a few trillion dollars. Clever guys… For years, the story was simple. AI will change everything. Data centres will be built everywhere. Power will somehow appear. Permits will somehow be granted. Communities will somehow be happy. Debt markets will somehow fund it. And if something goes wrong, someone will just raise another round. Beautiful. I love start-ups… And business plans written by people who...
