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. ​

And lots of unknowns. To make this project attractive, or at least palatable we should provide to the proponents either access to the buildings so that they can satisfy...
In a recent interview, an expensive consultant… those that charge you for their offices in the middle of Manhattan and all the MBA fees of the Ivy League graduates, responded the following on TV to this question: “Are there some main causes behind startup failure?” The answer was: “Yes. There are.” Which ones? No market need – 42% Ran out of cash – 29% Not the right team – 23% Got outcompeted – 19% Pricing/cost issues – 18% Poor product – 17% Flawed or missing business model – 17% Poor...
Last week, I got quite sick. Small children. Viruses. Usual suspects. My body wanted bed, and this is what I did… But… I could have been watching Netflix. Or worse… The TV… If I knew how to get the channels. Instead, I completed a couple of courses I had bought and were still pending. Perfect reset. New ideas. One of these courses is by Matt Gray. And I loved what he said about obsession. Anyone that has achieved a decent level of success in life has some sort of obsession. You can think of...
