When you do the right thing
|
During my holidays, I’m supervising a few Real Estate projects. And you know when you try to do shortcuts. They hit you in the ass one day or another. No matter how fast you run, how hard you try… your main job becomes to hide and deal with missteps moving forward instead of stopping for a second and redo the thing in the right way. Sorry. There is only one way of doing things and be successful: doing the right thing. The truth is effortless. You don’t need to remember and justify your lies. The same is with your projects. Do the right thing, even if it is hard, even if you need to recognize mistakes. If you do that, your professionalism goes up, and that puts you miles away from the rest. If you do that, your business goes up, improves, becomes known for the right things. You’ll thrive. ​ In my last project, lots of time was wasted in covering things not done right… when the answer, the guideline, the right way… was perfectly described in the contract… ​ Check it out. ​

This past Sunday, I was walking with my wife and son. A construction site. My son loves them. They were dismantling a big crane. Right next to our house. I was telling my wife… “For less than that, I shut down an entire work front on my last project.” There was a worker walking along the crane, without a harness. “He should be wearing a harness… Actually, he shouldn’t even be up there.” “Well,” my wife said, “That guy over there isn’t wearing one either, maybe they don’t need them.” “He...
If you are not going to love the answer, don’t ask. Simple. And still people… ask. I love chocolate. I make a terrific chocolate cake that is being famous in Spain, Canada and New Zealand. I pour fondant chocolate for a small army. 100%. Dark. Real. Pure chocolate. No sugar. I enjoy making this cake so much!! For my 3 year-old son’s birthday… do you think that I’m going to ask parents whether I should put 5 tablets of dark chocolate in the cake? I’d be crazy. Still, many people would ask. For...
Last Friday I almost closed a chapter. A terrible project. Lost lots of money. And of course… I’m looking now for the next. Many people out there play not to lose. But this is a losing strategy. You learn a lot when you lose. You barely know what went really well and why when you just win. It can be anything. But when you lose, you learn. Really well. You adjust. You repeat. You increase the odds for next time. When investing in real estate I see this trend all the time. Invest. It didn’t go...
