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.

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 business goes up, improves, becomes known for the right things.

You’ll thrive.

The kind of project where everyone, owner, contractor, union, inspectors, just wants to go home and eat turkey. On the morning of December 25th, a security guard on site hears something strange: “Clank… clank… clank…” He thinks it’s a rat. A...

Great power comes with greater responsibilities. When I come to Spain and I see the infrastructure of a relatively medium to high income country has and how this infrastructure has changed the lives of millions of people, you feel the weight on your shoulders.
