Watch out with this sect


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 dream and fight.

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.

​
With business, with partners, with your habits, with your discipline.
Do the opposite of the majority.
And you win.

​
It’s simple.

It works.

As Isra Bravo says: Feet shouldn’t be on the ground; they should be in the sky.

​
"Keep your feet on the ground” – they say.

On what ground?
On whose?
On the ground of a bureaucrat or on that of a millionaire?
On the ground of a unionist or on that of a true artist?
On the ground of a civil servant or on that of a writer?

​
On what ground?

​
The ground of the majority is fragile, like their will and their ambitions.
They only have one big thing: their FEAR.

Don’t be afraid.

January 2018. London. Whittington Hospital. A fire. It was controlled. Patients evacuated. The hospital continued operating. Crisis over? Not even close. The fire exposed a much bigger problem. There were serious disagreements. Condition of the building. The fire safety defects. Who was contractually responsible for fixing them. Etc. The NHS Trust said the PFI company had failed to remedy the problems. The PFI company disagreed. A “mis huevos” (ego battle) situation… Payments were withheld....

You opened the project on time. Construction is finished. The ribbon has been cut. The lenders are happy. The Board can finally breathe. And then operations begin. Good for you. This is what we want to be in a big project. A few months pass by, and suddenly you realize that you are handling a different kind of monster. The subcontractor starts interpreting the contract in its favour. Small issues become recurring issues. Performance reports say everything is fine, while cash is slowly leaking...

Everyone speaks confidently. Everyone uses acronyms. And you are trying to work out whether you have missed something obvious. Suddenly, someone expects you to have a view. Sh*t… The problem is not that you are not capable. The problem is that nobody ever taught deep how PPPs really work. Not the theory. The decisions, traps, negotiations and mistakes that can define an entire career. Stop trying to learn PPPs one painful meeting at a time. Start thinking like a leader. Not how to sound...
