Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? ​ Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. ​ That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. ​ No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. ​ If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. ​ And why? Just to have more options. ​ Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company. ​ So, continuing your education, trying new things, get exposed to new people, thinking, mindsets, businesses, opinions, etc. is just a way to give you more options. ​ If you click below, you can access to myself, to my thinking, to my mindset, to my businesses, opinions… etc. One lesson every week. ​ In this week’s lesson, you make learn a way to ask for a big promotion… ​ Just a way. Just more options. Enjoy. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ ​ By the way...

Yesterday I told you about a KPI regime that seemed a horror story. Today, I bring you another that kills. Kills contract, I mean. I often tell people that vertical PPPs are not my cup of tea. Hospitals… I run away. Too complicated. Too political. Too high stakes. Take the wave of hospital PPPs in the UK during the 2000s. On paper, they looked brilliant: new facilities, modern equipment, long-term maintenance secured. But still… the KPI regime was written by bureaucrats with too much coffee...
Some PPPs die before they start.Others collapse under the weight of construction. And then there are those that rot from within — strangled by their own KPI regime. Take the Peterborough Prison PPP in the UK.On paper, it was innovative: the first privately financed prison with a focus on rehabilitation. The government loved the concept. The innocent believers in human nature wet dreamt about it. The financiers lined up.The operator thought they could make it work… if not, they would still...
Humiliation can come in many ways. But probably, one of the most humiliating failures a government can suffer in a PPP is the silence. This happened in a mid-sized developed country of the Commonwealth just a few years ago. The government wanted a flagship social infrastructure project: a cluster of new courthouses and justice facilities, spread across regional cities. They framed it as transformational. A “once in a generation” opportunity. Ministers on stage, cameras rolling, the usual...
