Yesterday I saw that Trump is taking the lead in the pools. That’s terrible. It’s so bad, so bad for you, for the economy and the democracy, that… It’s at least as bad as… if the other lady wins the election. ​ Or as good as… Or as irrelevant as… ​ If you look at any elections or any government with the hope of them changing your life, forget it… unless, of course, you want to be a slave of the system. ​ The maximum thing that Trump winning or the other lady winning will do is changing your mood… for a few days. Just like your soccer team winning… happy days… sometimes, just hours. ​ But imagine that you can control your mood. Better. Imagine that you can control your mindset… ​ That’s the path to take control. That’s the path to seek promotions, to make more money, to build wealth… That’s the path to freedom. ​ So… ​ Cultivate your mind. Educate yourself, and you won’t depend on the circus. ​ If you want to learn something new today, I can tell you a story. It is the story of how I became CEO of a company holding assets for more than 1 billion dollars. ​ And before you say anything, let me add this. ​ In life, there are two kinds of people. Those that will say that “this does apply to my case”, and those that say, “how the heck do I apply this to my case”. ​ As I said… Cultivate your mind. Be free. ​ The story is this week’s lesson in the membership below. Enjoy. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ ​ By the way...

It’s surprising human’s resistance to change. A clause. A clause destined to fail. And it did. Problems. Disputes. Relationships destroyed. Delays. Claims. And you know what… They repeat in the next project… Even if it is evident that the clause will generate issues. Too much grey. Sometimes this grey has advantages within a group of reasonable and experienced people. But unfortunately, common sense is uncommon. I explained the issue. Everybody nodded. And of course… the clause remained…...
I love going to local markets. I tried one this weekend. All vendors shouting: “Try this.” “Taste that.” “Best cheese in town.” “Organic honey.” Everyone fighting for your attention. It’s nice. It feels human. You try things. You buy things. You feel good helping local producers. I love that. But price is sometimes an issue. It’s not cheap. And it can’t be cheap. These guys work at very small scale. Their margins need to be enormous just to make a living. I don’t blame them. And honestly,...
I’m an engineer. By accident. But an engineer nevertheless. I’ve seen landslides during construction, and after construction. Specifications not converting properly between inches and cm. Expansion joints popping up in summer like popcorn. Pavement failing in the first winter after opening. Subcontractors going broke. Or bought by the competition you stole the project from… But still… 80% of serious PPP failures are NOT technical… They are contractual. Risk allocation errors Toxic KPI regimes...
