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…

There was already a port. The quays were there. The railway was there. The channel was there. The cranes were there. More or less. What was missing was cargo. In 2003, Mozambique handed the Port of Maputo to a public-private concessionaire. Yes… You know. PPP are not just roads and hospitals… It was a BOT model… where the B was probably more R of Rehabilitation. Well… At the time, the port was handling approximately 5 million tonnes per year. Last year, it handled around 32 million. Six times...

Final bid phase. BAFO. Best and Final Offer. Beautiful name, by the way. And my favourite thing ever… It’s not just that people show their faces under their masks… It sounds clean. Professional. Almost elegant. Like everyone is now putting their best offer on the table, shaking hands mentally, and preparing for a fair final comparison. Cute. Then a few smart guys decided to be very smart. Too smart. They started sneaking small changes into the agreement. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that looked...

Dakar–Diamniadio. A toll road. It reduced a journey of around 90 minutes to approximately 25. It opened on time. Within budget. Traffic exceeded expectations. And it became one of Africa’s best-known PPP case studies. So, naturally, “experts” looked at the contract. The financing. The risk allocation. The concessionaire. All important. But many were missing the secret sauce. Senegal spent around ten years preparing the project before the road opened. Ten years. Not ten PowerPoint...
