Then back to work to do something productive. I loved the routine. And, above all, I loved knowing that I was essential. Because that PowerPoint was always...
Look. Saying “Now is not the right time” can be perfectly reasonable. Sometimes… Although not many times. When I hear it from clients, I wonder… What exactly are you waiting for? A dispute? A claim? To have given away rights costing millions “by accident”? I don’t know… Not my personal money, so no comment. But… Of course… At one moment they come asking for help. I know that they’ll come. With some contracts, with some projects, I even have a calendar bid on when the bomb will explode…...
Look. The phrase “It’s only a letter” can be the most dangerous in PPP language. Sometimes, it genuinely is only a letter. An update. A clarification. Something routine. But sometimes, that letter gives away a position worth millions. Or… It accepts a risk nobody intended to accept.
