Think about this and thank me

The same thing that discourages some motivates others. Another person’s well-being, their neighbor’s prosperity. A car, a house, a trip. Some feel attacked by this; others feel motivated. The first group looks for an excuse to justify that it’s a lie, unattainable, just luck, connections, an inheritance. The second group believes by default; they don’t consider it might be a lie because they know that when you believe something is achievable, you end up seeing the path to achieve it. Where some find an excuse, others find a reason. There are people achieving more with less effort. The only thing separating you is what each person knows and how they put it into practice, nothing more. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Short-term thinking. The same people who forget that not long ago we had: warnings that were too soft impacts that were worse...
“Surely the English hate me, but the Scots love me… and that’s what matters.” — Diego Armando Maradona There’s an immortal lesson in that sentence. You’re not going to be popular defending PPPs. Pushing PPPs. Loving PPPs. Delivering PPPs. Or being the one in the room who actually understands them. And that’s fine. Because this isn’t about popularity. It’s about outcomes. Think of: the banks the equity providers the consultants …and yes, the taxpayer When PPPs are done right, they work. When...
“I’m a PPP freak.” That’s what I told a client last week. Then I killed the deal in 30 minutes. “But this is not a PPP project.” No model. No workshops. No 200-page reports. Just experience. Because after you’ve seen enough projects, the disasters, the political theatre, the “too good to be true” bids… you start seeing patterns. Fast. You don’t need months. You need clarity. 30 minutes is enough to know: if a project is bankable… or dead on arrival if the contract creates value… or prints...
