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. Do you want to learn about something new?

Some of the worst PPPs in the world come from capital cities trying to look impressive. Huge buildings. Architectural statements. Politicians cutting ribbons. And budgets exploding. But some of the best PPPs? They come from places nobody talks about. Take Ferguson Place Recreation Centre PPP. It sits in Fort St. John, Canada… Oh Canada! Population: about 21,000 people. Not exactly Tokyo. The city needed something simple: A recreation centre. Swimming pools. Ice rinks. Fitness facilities....
A toll road. In one of the richest regions of Europe. Northern Italy. Lombardy. Industrial powerhouse. Traffic everywhere. What could possibly go wrong? The project was called the Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda. A massive motorway designed to connect cities north of Milan and relieve congestion around the region. On paper, it looked like a dream. Economic powerhouse region. Millions of inhabitants. Constant truck traffic. Banks were queuing to through their money to the asphalt plant. Making...
The system worked perfectly. The satellites tracked the trucks. The software calculated the tolls. The invoices were ready. The gantries were already installed across France. 173 of them. Steel structures over highways, quietly waiting for trucks to pass and pay. The project cost almost €1 billion. It was called the Écotaxe Poids Lourds. The idea was simple. Heavy trucks should pay for using the roads. Especially foreign trucks crossing France. Elegant. Who would say no to such a great idea?...
