Too much of a burden
|
Lot of time spent with family, friends and people I used to know these days. Looking at what people do and say every 12 months is mind blowing. How close and how far away you can be 12 months, and 20.000 km away. ​ You hear conversations. About 20 or 80 euros more or less per month that people receive in their pensions or in their social security payments. Complaints. Hopes. But not much action. Not much anything. I suppose that spending 1 or 2 hours to make a claim to the government is too much of a burden. Better complain and do nothing. ​ But the most lovely scene of these days are the queues. And not the typical queues at the malls, at the bars, at the restaurants, at the ice cream shops, at the cafeterias… No. The queues to buy Spanish lottery. More than one hour waiting in the street. Under the cold. Sometimes under the rain. One hour waiting to buy a 2 euro hope ticket for a 0.000001% probability to win a few million euros. 2 euros and one or two hours of queue. ​ You can explain them that they could go to the internet and with no waiting and from the comfort of your home, buy the same tickets and even have access to more tickets and buy exactly the number that you want… but again. Too much of a burden. Too much complexity. Too much work. Better waiting in the queue. ​ In the course below, you can increase your chances of making a few million euros by a few million times the probability of winning the Spanish lottery. You can do it from the comfort of your home. No queues… ​ But maybe… to much of a burden. Too much complexity. Too much work. And this is why you won’t buy the course below. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Most PPP evaluations are designed by committees obsessed with checking boxes. Not with selecting the best partner. The result? Overcomplicated scoring matrices Subjective criteria disguised as science Endless “clarification” rounds A perfect environment for disputes… Sorry. A PPP evaluation is not an academic exercise. It’s a decision. And decisions must be fast, clear, defensible. So… how do you design the perfect evaluation? The 3-Step PPP Evaluation That Actually Works Step 1 — Choose only...
When you spend enough time in Europe, you usually end dealing with a bank. It’s as lovely as a tooth pain. The EU is the bureaucracy hell of the world. A place that tells you even how the cap of a bottle of coke must be… and of course, they did not think about any market testing or user case. What for? Well… Banks. You can’t live without them, but you hate them. Mastodonts with benefits. Shield by government. Too much money invested in lobbies… or finding imaginative solution to hide bribes...
Many people challenge my preferred RFP strategy for PPPs: “Pre-qualify strong consortia, set a minimum technical pass/fail, and award to the best NPV bidder? They’ll just bid low and renegotiate later!” I get it. That tactic has been abused in Latin America for years. But we need to ask: Why has +20% (often +50%, +100%, +200%) become almost inevitable there? Let’s look at the real causes: Why PPP prices skyrocket after award 1) Renegotiation is systemic. In transport PPPs, up to 78% of...
