The secret to unlimited ideas


There is one thing you need to do to have unlimited ideas.

Simple. Easy.

But it requires discipline and open mind.

Observe.

That’s it.

Look, Jane Goodall was a lady with no formal education. She just loved animals.

In 1960, she went with Louis Leakey, an anthropologist to Tanzania, to give him a hand.

They studied chimpanzees’ behaviour.

Not much equipment, no laboratory, no guidance. Just a notebook and a pair of binoculars.

For a long time, she couldn’t get close to them, but her perseverance paid off.

Slowly, she noticed details no one had documented.

She observed behaviours that shattered long-standing beliefs, such as chimpanzees using tools, previously thought to be an exclusively human trait.

Patience and the power of observation simply revolutionized wildlife research and our understanding and views of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Just by looking.

Just by observing with the intention to learn.

This is why I love to be surrounded by successful people making business.

I take my popcorns and enjoy.

I observe. I learn.

Then, I even try the things that I learned.

You can save years by doing that yourself.

Observing with the intention to learn.

Observing people’s behaviours, observing trends, observing investors, observing businesspeople.

With open mind, without judging. Just observing.

Then, geeks like me put those things into practice…

PPP is political. Innovation is often bullshit. Preferred bidder is where power shifts. Claims are part of the game. Long hours don’t mean value. Most people don’t understand the deal they’re working on. Risk allocation is everything. Relationships beat intelligence. Timing beats perfection. The best players think about the exit… from day one. If this makes you uncomfortable… good. That’s reality. Most people in this industry are busy.Very few are effective. And the gap between the two?...

You’re dropped into a project. No time. No context. “Figure it out.” Good. There are only 3 questions that matter. I repeat, only 3. Not 10 or 20. Just 3: What needs to be done? Who is doing it now? Is that the right person? That’s it. That’s the whole job. And by the way… That’s every serious managerial role. If you answer those 3 properly, you win. If you don’t… Welcome to the world of: Long hours. Endless meetings. Zero real progress. You’ll be stuck working on the 80%… That delivers 20%....

I get it. I’ve been CEO. I know what ego feels like. That urge to change things. To leave your mark. To justify the big salary. I get it. But changing things that already work? Just to prove you exist? No. That I don’t get. Look. I’ve been speaking with people across PPP and Real Estate. Different countries. Same story. “Like beheaded chickens.” Clients changing direction mid-procurement. Swapping teams halfway through. Rewriting strategy… in the middle of a transaction. Yes. That bad. Even...
