Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. And that’s absolutely true. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work. We define ourselves when we choose our company to our family. We define ourselves when we watch television instead of reading a book on business or investing. We define ourselves when we turn our money over to a mutual fund to invest for us instead of learning how to invest by ourselves. We define ourselves when we choose social media to improve ourselves.

I spent two weeks without WhatsApp. Not a digital detox. Life made the decision for me. As a business owner, consultant, investor, and someone with hundreds of friends all over the world… I was uncomfortable. When I finally opened it, I had around 2,600 unread messages. Honestly, I was surprised there were so few. But the bigger surprise? Nothing terrible had happened. A humbling discovery. Apparently, the universe had continued operating without my blue ticks. Things stayed under control....
An infrastructure fund manager has three problems. First, raise the capital. Not easy. Second, deploy the capital. Also not easy. Because after telling LPs you have access to a wonderful infrastructure pipeline, eventually you need to buy something. Small detail. And third… Invest the capital in something that does not behave like what the fund promised to invest in. That is where careers become interesting. It’s not only about losing money. It’s walking into the Investment Committee and...
