When you know this, nothing will be the same

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. You’ve already had a few defining moments today. What you choose from now on… it’s up to you. But now, I hope that you are conscious of every decision you make.

Someone lied to me yesterday. And not even a good lie. A lazy one. A client texts me on WhatsApp: “Aqualia came. They say we need to build an additional drainage point to install the final water meters. We have 10 days.” 10 days. That was the giveaway. Let me translate this for you. Aqualia. The most incompetent utility provider in Spain after Endesa (about those guys, I can talk another day). The same Aqualia that took 7 months to even show up. Now suddenly… they give us 10 days? Come on....
In 27 minutes on the phone, I domesticated the beast. “How did you do it?” my project manager asked. Using his ego. Context. Contractor. Spain. Penthouse. Water coming from the ceiling. “Go fix it. It’s under warranty.” “No. Warranty expired. When I left, there was no leak.” I’ve seen worse. And more creative lies. This one was just… lazy. Less than a year since notification. In Spain, that’s a 3-year warranty. But fine. Let’s play. In judo, you don’t fight strength. You use it. Same here....
PPP is political. Innovation is often bullshit. Preferred bidder is where power shifts. Claims are part of the game. Long hours don’t mean value. Most people don’t understand the deal they’re working on. Risk allocation is everything. Relationships beat intelligence. Timing beats perfection. The best players think about the exit… from day one. If this makes you uncomfortable… good. That’s reality. Most people in this industry are busy.Very few are effective. And the gap between the two?...
