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.

In Japan, they often say: “Your life is like a garden.” If you’re not intentional… it gets overrun with weeds. Randomness. Distraction. Noise. This happens when you have too many goals. Too many priorities. Because let me tell you something. If you don’t have a clear maximum of 3 priorities… you have none. You get distracted. With lesser goals. Stupid goals. Or worse… scrolling. Looking for your next dopamine hit. This applies to your life. But also to how you work. If your door is always...
Hospital PPPs have a bad reputation. Delays. Overpricing. Rigidity. You’ve heard the stories. I remember when I work at ACS that any RFP announcement of a hospital was received as the last Trump’s tweet… We didn’t know what to do about… Let’s now talk about the Alzira Hospital PPP in Spain. Launched in 1999. First of its kind. A full model: Design. Build. Finance. Operate. Not just the building. Healthcare delivery. High risk. High exposure. High scrutiny. And still… It worked. Well… somehow....
Yesterday I learned that the European Union, the climax of bureaucracy in human history, will require passports for all dogs and cats. Some countries want to be wealthy. Others want to lead in technology or AI. Others want to be the best place in the world to do business. In the meantime… the EU is busy with things that will surely make it richer, more prosperous, and a better place to live. I’m telling you this because the EU is not unique. This is everywhere. Every country, government,...
