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.

They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...
I was talking yesterday to my real estate agent, and we arrived at the same conclusion. There are so many opportunities out there! Just a question of picking up the right one! But there are so many, that you don’t know what to choose. Exactly that happens in many fields these days. PPPs for example. Agencies launch a new project and they expect companies lining up for the bid. Then… they find the hard way that there is just silence in the room. Zero excitement. Too many projects and agencies...
Most projects fail for boring reasons.Not for lack of brains.Not for lack of money.For lack of aligned incentives. Boring, because they repeat over and over. We write 300 pages of clauses. Pay great sums to lawyers working with the best views and more expensive offices. Then we hope.And hope is not a control.
