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.

Yes, remember: communication skills are probably the skill you need to be working on right now. Well… ChatGPT takes information from thousands of blogs. Unrelated to you. You feel overwhelmed. And you do nothing. You stay exactly where you were. That’s today’s world. We have access to information and knowledge. But we don’t use it. We look for the next tip. And the next....
It’s not sexy, I reckon. It’s never at the parties. Never. All the attention goes to financial close, the construction programme, the liquidated damages, the change regime, the events, the refinancing… And then there is this thing. Almost forgotten. Nobody sees it. Nobody talks about it. Until one day you get the perfect image of a train, lights on, coming out of the dark… And the poor rabbit standing in the middle of the tracks. That thing is the Hand-Back Regime. And it is one of the most...
Resources. It’s always a question of resources. Your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. All the same. They cheap you in with the resources. "Save here". "Save there". "$10k more of salary for this key person is too much…" in a $1bn project! "We can’t afford it". Etc. Then, one day… We are in a rush. Because someone told your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. That you needed more resources immediately. Additional scope. An urgent solution. And other excuses made...
