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.

Something worse than pricing a mega-project with consultants? Adding a second consultant to “validate” the price. Worse? A third one doing a peer review. Don’t laugh. This happens… Every day. Governments behaving like headless chickens. Not knowing what to do… but doing something anyway. Anything. Because “we need robust numbers.” Because “we need to protect public money.” So they spend millions… just to feel safe. Good luck with that. Let me simplify it for you. When you renovate your...
They thought the deal was done. Preferred bidder. Banks aligned. Lawyers billing like there’s no tomorrow. Financial Close… just weeks away. Then Lehman Brothers collapsed (2008). And across the world… PPP deals froze. In the UK, dozens of Private Finance Initiative (PFI) projects suddenly faced: No liquidity Banks pulling out Margins exploding Some survived. Many didn’t. I remember those days well… as I was parachuted to the A30 Project in Montreal whose financial closed happened end of...
Someone lied to me yesterday. And not even a good lie. A lazy one. A client texts me on WhatsApp: “Aqualia came. They say we need to build an additional drainage point to install the final water meters. We have 10 days.” 10 days. That was the giveaway. Let me translate this for you. Aqualia. The most incompetent utility provider in Spain after Endesa (about those guys, I can talk another day). The same Aqualia that took 7 months to even show up. Now suddenly… they give us 10 days? Come on....
