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.

Last week, I got quite sick. Small children. Viruses. Usual suspects. My body wanted bed, and this is what I did… But… I could have been watching Netflix. Or worse… The TV… If I knew how to get the channels. Instead, I completed a couple of courses I had bought and were still pending. Perfect reset. New ideas. One of these courses is by Matt Gray. And I loved what he said about obsession. Anyone that has achieved a decent level of success in life has some sort of obsession. You can think of...
One of the “interesting” things about having sat at all four corners of the table, and having done so in several countries, is that you start comparing. Yes, I know. It’s a Spanish sickness. We like criticising more than we like evading taxes… or voting for politicians who do. I can’t escape my genes, no matter how a Kiwi I've become. You compare. And sooner or later, you reach a painful conclusion. Especially now that I live in the paradise of the South Pacific. Nations led by builders build...
