This is the most significant factor in your success
|
People think that it is what they study. Others the wife or husband or partner that they choose. Others the first company they work for. But no. Studies show this over and over. The most important decision in your life is city you decide to live in. This defines what wife or husband you can have, where you’re going to work, the salary range, the tax system, the business opportunities, your potential growth as professional or businessman, etc. There are people so aware of this fact that change cities after a max of 5 years. If you are feeling now, that “joder” I should have known earlier. Don’t do that. There are opportunities everywhere, big enough to satisfy your most untellable wet dreams. And with this I go a common theme. Excuses. Excuses to not calling now, not sending the email now, not sending the resignation letter now, not telling this or that to your boss now, not buying that business or piece of real estate right now. Excuses that keep you in the comfortable place that you hate in silence or screaming. Both are terrible. Not sure that the link below will be useful to change that… But, at least, if you don’t think about changing your city right now, it may be a good start. ​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.

Most governments say they want world-class infrastructure. But few have the guts to bring in world-class people. But the Ministry of Transport of Quebec did. When they launched the A-30 PPP, they didn’t hide behind local comfort zones. They opened the door. Contractors from Spain. Designers and Independent engineers from the UK… with limited French. The guys that were to remove the snow were not even from Canada… That was not easy in Quebec. Not politically. Not culturally. But it was brave....
Behind my computer I have a painting from Egypt. And this makes me remember how those guys used to work. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...
I was talking yesterday to my real estate agent, and we arrived at the same conclusion. There are so many opportunities out there! Just a question of picking up the right one! But there are so many, that you don’t know what to choose. Exactly that happens in many fields these days. PPPs for example. Agencies launch a new project and they expect companies lining up for the bid. Then… they find the hard way that there is just silence in the room. Zero excitement. Too many projects and agencies...
