You know what you have to do... don't you?


You know what you need to do… oh yes.

But…

You live in an outdated machine. Well… We live.

Nothing excites your taste buds like fat and sugar.

Nothing.

​
Why?
Because, in a time when those resources were scarce, nature invented that way of telling you that if you came across something that gave you energy, you should gorge yourself on it.

​
The problem?
Your tongue still works like it did 200,000 years ago, but you live next to a supermarket full of industrial pastries and chips.

​
The result?
If left alone, you'd be capable of consuming junk food until you’re nauseous.

​
Right? Of course. Let's continue.

Do you know what your buttocks love the most?
No, not that.
The couch and Netflix, because if you rest, it means you don’t have to go out and hunt.

And your brain?
Avoiding the unexpected and conflict, because encountering a bear or running out of water could mean the end.

​
The result?
If left alone, you’re capable of stuffing yourself with security until you’re nauseous. Living life avoiding the fight, the cold, the failure.
And filling all your gaps with unnecessary considerations, unnecessary processes, and justifying your day based on meetings, meals, and scheduling appointments in your agenda.

​
Because it feels good, but don’t be fooled—it’s not right.

​
Even if the government doesn’t run campaigns to warn you about it. Quite the opposite. They love your binge on stability…

You know that uncomfortable means growth.

Talking to new people.

Learning new things.

Calling instead of sending an email or a WhatsApp.

Having that conversation that you should have had long time ago but you are just deferring and deferring.

And so on…

The alternative. Netflix and junk food.

What I propose you.

This.

Growth and high return.

Look. A question for you. What is more dangerous… Sending a letter you know may be wrong? Or sending one that everyone is convinced is right? In my experience… Definitely the second. A bad letter creates questions. A polished letter creates confidence. It has been reviewed by management. Checked by the lawyers. Discussed with the technical team. Perhaps even approved by the Board. Everyone agrees. Send it. And that is precisely when I become nervous. Intelligent people do not normally make...

Rule 8 of PPPs: Never go around the SPV. That shortcut has lawyers at the other end. I know why agencies do it. The SPV needs to consult the contractor. Then the shareholders. Then the Board. Then the lenders. Then the lawyers. What should take five minutes takes three weeks. So, someone decides to be practical: “Let’s speak directly with the contractor.” Wrong. Look. The contractor builds the project. The SPV owns the promise. The SPV holds the Project Agreement. The SPV carries the...

Someone went on holiday. Nothing particularly unusual about that. Except that this person had to approve an invoice. And without that approval, the dark accountant at the agency did not even know he had to make an important payment. Without the payment, the SPV would not have enough cash to meet its obligations. Yes… pay your debt is really important in these cases. So, a billion dollar project was suddenly exposed to an insolvency risk because one person went on holiday. Fortunately, we had...
