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 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.

The company responsible for upgrading and maintaining large parts of the London Underground under a PPP. The issue is that Transport for London appointed a Partnership...
There you are in front of the guys from the government. Ten projects. Billions in investment. A slide deck so polished it should have its own LinkedIn account. Across the table, an experience contractor smiles. “Very exciting.” And then… back to his mobile phone… He checks the calendar. The team needed to bid your PPP is also wanted on a data centre, an energy project and a private industrial development. Tight schedule. Limited resources. All four projects will have problems. That is one of...
Infrastructure investors used to love a simple story. Capacity. Traffic. Revenue. Return. Easy stuff. A port handles more containers. A road carries more vehicles. And so on… Everyone opens Excel. Everyone smiles. Then the Strait of Hormuz says: Cute model. I love you… Welcome to geopolitics… force majeure or insurability… Now, the spreadsheet needs therapy. If you follow the news that doesn’t talk about Trump, you probably know that the Gulf is now accelerating investment in ports, pipelines...
