The thing I'm certain about

One day, they asked Jeff Bezos about the future. Jeff, what are the upcoming trends? How would Amazon react to them? ​ The answer worths more than an MBA in Harvard… … specially because in Harvard, they don’t teach this… ​ ​ Take a minute to read this sentence again. ​ I don’t care about what changes, but about what stays the same. ​ Empires are built on certainties. Not in “I think”, “I guess”, “My understanding is”. ​ For years, I’ve had a certainty, and I operate based on it. ​ The more you focus on what you can control, the better you live. ​ With war or without, with psychopaths in power or with fools. ​ ​ ​ I hold onto that unchanging truth and ignore the rest of the noise in the universe. ​ And since you’re not, you’re not making the progress I do. ​ Want proof? ​ You spend your day avoiding certainties to ride the waves of uncertainty. ​ Another certainty: The sooner your boss will appreciate you, will respect you, will promote you and the more money you’ll make. The sooner a client will give you his money, the more loyal he’ll be, the more satisfied he’ll be, and the more money he’ll give you over time. ​ I’m about to launch my mentorship.

I receive their email religiously every week. They fabricate and install curtains. You don’t expect to be renewing those things every week. Nor every year. But here they are, sending those emails weekly. On the other hand, I tried to look for 15 min for the guys that do the shampooing of my carpet. That’s something that you should be doing twice or so a year. Not an email. And still… is there anything more recurrent / certain? Probably yes, but it’s Sunday and I have the brain focused on...
A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from an agent. Vicente, I have this house for you, and you should take a look. I receive the link. I take a look. The ratio rooms: people was 2:1 and I counted the cat as one. “Too big for us”. “Too big? But you can afford it” “That may be true, but it’s too big, we don’t need that space”. The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects. If you thought that the decision...
Most people say: “It’s too small for a PPP.” They’re wrong. In fact, this one might be your best lesson yet. In Eldoret, Kenya, the local government pulled off a PPP for solar-street-lighting. Project size: approx USD 23 million. Yes… 23 million US in a country in Africa… In a PPP! More data: Scope: ~20,000 LED street-lights + around 3 MWp solar + 10 MWh storage. Goal: Replace ageing lighting, reduce cost, save lives, cut emissions. And this is why you should study this PPP Project: 1. Small...
