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…

Once, a government decided to build an airport for the future. Not for the demand it had. For the future. Montréal’s existing airport was becoming busy, and passenger numbers were growing rapidly. You know… Expo, Olympic Games… So Canada did what governments are often tempted to do. It thought big. Very big. The new Montréal–Mirabel Airport was intended to become one of the largest airports in the world. I repeat. In the world. The government expropriated approximately 400km2 of land… larger...

A client once asked me: What does good governance actually look like? I did not take long to draft a response. It’s something asked many times… Especially, when things start to get wrong. Well, it starts with experienced people. Period. And… People who bring different perspectives. People capable of overseeing an executive team without trying to become the executive team. Look. Governance is not day-to-day management. It is challenge. Support. Direction. And intervention when required....

Those who know me well know that I’m not a football fan. Or soccer. Whatever you prefer. But I watched the last ten minutes of Spain’s match—my only ten minutes of the World Cup… yes, I know—and I was amazed. And happy, by the way. Beating Argentina is always fun. Especially after their famous “Devolvé la copa” a few years ago… But that’s not the point. The point is that, within five minutes, the internet was full of memes. Messi crying like a baby. Lamine Yamal—or Yamil, Yamile… you know I’m...
