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.

Looking for your next dopamine hit. This applies to your life. But also to how you work. If your door is always...
Hospital PPPs have a bad reputation. Delays. Overpricing. Rigidity. You’ve heard the stories. I remember when I work at ACS that any RFP announcement of a hospital was received as the last Trump’s tweet… We didn’t know what to do about… Let’s now talk about the Alzira Hospital PPP in Spain. Launched in 1999. First of its kind. A full model: Design. Build. Finance. Operate. Not just the building. Healthcare delivery. High risk. High exposure. High scrutiny. And still… It worked. Well… somehow....
Yesterday I learned that the European Union, the climax of bureaucracy in human history, will require passports for all dogs and cats. Some countries want to be wealthy. Others want to lead in technology or AI. Others want to be the best place in the world to do business. In the meantime… the EU is busy with things that will surely make it richer, more prosperous, and a better place to live. I’m telling you this because the EU is not unique. This is everywhere. Every country, government,...
