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.

The business as usual is killing professionals, if not...
When you could do anything, why focusing on less… Why specializing… Well… I receive that question or variants of that question often. In my work, just PPPs and major infrastructure projects. Why only big things. Big jobs… or where the big money is… In my investments, just real estate. And the answer is simple. If you are an adult, you know that working more hours does not equate to better results. Not even more money. On the contrary, working more hours usually means you’re grinding your...
When I was a junior project manager trying to discuss with a senior construction manager where to put some fiber optics for a toll system, he told me a story… In a large tunnel project, they had spent weeks arguing about where to put a temporary installation. Not fiber optics… but almost. Design said one thing. Construction said another. The client wanted the classic miracle: “No impact on cost. No impact on programme. No impact on risk.” Of course. And I want to eat croissants every morning...
