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.

Yeah… just like that… And you still wonder about Brexit… Anyway… the Post Office blamed the usual suspects… the people operating it. Hundreds were prosecuted. Some went to prison. Lives were destroyed. And for years, the official position remained essentially the same: The system works. Ole, with 2...
I always say that politicians cost taxpayers billions. And not because of their salaries, the salaries of their friends and advisers, or the favours repaid while they are in office—or afterwards. No. Because of their incompetence and lack of common sense. For example… Never announce the marriage while you are still negotiating the prenup. This is common sense. Still, politicians with billions in their hands throw common sense in the bin. We even have well-documented cases. With papers… And...
A few weeks ago, I had a call with a colleague in Kenya. He told me about the chaos surrounding the proposed PPP at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. He may even be reading this email. Hello. The story is quite impressive. Kenya needed to expand its main airport. That part was not controversial. JKIA was already operating above its designed capacity. It needed a new terminal. A second runway. More capacity. And Kenya did not exactly have a few billion dollars sitting comfortably in a...
