Next time someone tells you that making money isn't a matter of mindset, ask them how much they earn. ​ I see out there many people following advice from people that have zero skin in the game. Accountants that tell you to do X, Y, Z, with your investments… but they don’t have any investments. Or accountants that tell you that you shouldn’t create a company and remain as a sole entrepreneur because it’s simpler… but they use a company. Traders that provide courses and make zero dollars doing traders… 100% of revenues providing courses. I always got fascinated by professors in MBA schools that were teaching “business”, but they haven’t created any. Now, it’s the social media. People telling you about successful businesses that you should create… when the only business they have created is being an influencer. Look. Use this information as you like.

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...
Your biggest challenge is probably not technical. It is getting everyone to listen to you. Then, make sure they agree on what the real problem is. Then making a decision. Then making sure that decision survives contact with lawyers, contractors, financiers, Boards and government. The project rarely fails because nobody knew what to do.
