If you are part or play around of the sect of the majority, you hear words like these: “Keep your feet on the ground." ​ The followers of the majority even well-intentioned try to put you down and bring you into the sect. “Keep your feet on the ground." ​ Your parents, your teachers, your bosses, your colleagues, your friends, and in-laws: “Keep your feet on the ground." ​ They forget the “come to us” and become a zombie as we are. ​ Look. To make an omelette, you need to break some eggs. ​ I don’t know many cases of people that followed the majority and got anywhere interesting or great. And if they are, there you are the exceptions to the rule. ​ You have to expose yourself. You have to try new things. Do, do and do. You have to train. You have to read and write and speak, after you listen – not before. ​ Simply, if you do the opposite of what the sect says, you win. ​ ​ It works. ​ As Isra Bravo says: Feet shouldn’t be on the ground; they should be in the sky. ​ ​ On what ground? ​ ​ ​ Don’t be afraid. Take a look what you can achieve, for example, playing with real estate. Those are my real numbers, real projects…

Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...
I have a few face-to-face mentees and they have 3 types of problems: You say you became an entrepreneur to be free… but you work more hours than ever.You say you want to help… but you can barely help yourself.You say you’re chasing freedom… but you’ve built your own cage. I’m sure it also sounds familiar to you.And I also know it’s not your fault. It’s the fault of all the bullsh*t promises they sold you:That entrepreneurship would make you free.That you just need more followers.That what...
