The reason you need a team

I have two cats. And I keep a phone to call a vet in case of emergency. Many people do this too. ​ I have the phone of an electrician, a plumber, a dentist, a doctor… to call in case of emergency. Many people do this too. ​ I have the phone of the insurance and the AA for car assistance with me. Many people do this too. ​ I have the phone of a lawyer to call in case of emergency. Some people do this too. ​ I have the phone of someone to call in case of emergency for investments and financial doubts or issues. Few people have this. ​ Why? Don’t tell me that money is not important. Or you don’t care. Just stop working and see what happens… ​ Having mentors and advisors, a list of trusted and knowledgeable contacts, standing by is what makes the difference between successful people and people that struggle or make little or no progress. ​ Or do you think that Elon knows about everything? Or Bezitos? Or Gates? Or… whatever. ​ People trying to do things by themselves don’t reach very far. People teaming with knowledgeable people do. ​ “Ahà lo dejo” or “I leave it there”. If you want me as part of your team, book me below.

You miss learning and knowing well a market. When bidding PPP projects, I have seen successful bidders doing so from the distance....
It happens a few weeks ago. “Tell me about Madrid and Spain, how do you do it? I heard a business case that Madrid has been able to deliver the cheapest tunnels in the world…” I did not know about that case, but my answer was simple: “Do you know how many TMBs had Madrid at the time?” Look. If you want cheap infrastructure, create a pipeline. Madrid had during more than 10 years between 7 and 8 TBMs (the machines to make tunnels in engineering slang). They are extremely costly. So, they...
A great friend of mine tells his team: “Work hard, play harder”. I can’t agree more with him. Infrastructure is a difficult business. Lots of hours of discussing, negotiating, working, arguing with people. Yes, people. Not companies, not systems. People. Along the journey you’ll have all sorts of moments. Creating all sorts of emotions. Engraving in you, amazing memories. So enjoy the journey. Don’t be a gilipollas and play harder. No matter what the contract says, if you get along well with...
