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.

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?...
My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
