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You live in an outdated machine.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.

You probably know it. 1999 NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter. One team supplied data in English units. The other expected metric. The spacecraft travelled for nine months before the mistake became everybody’s problem. That is a very long journey to discover you needed one awkward conversation. Now, I’m not suggesting you’re about to lose a spacecraft. Your project or your job has its own ways of making you miserable. You sit in a meeting. Someone says, “The contractor has accepted that...

A few of you have complained that the prices of some courses in The Room have gone up. And that The Room itself costs more now. Yes. That’s true. Look. The feedback I keep getting is that I’m practically giving away 20 years of PPP experience for peanuts. So I’ve decided to make the peanuts slightly more expensive. As I say on every course page, prices will never go down. They can only go up. And look… they already have. If you’re already inside The Room, your price is yours for life. If you...

For the last few days, I’ve been watching PAW Patrol: The Movie with my son… Several times. You know… school holidays… At this point, I could write the technical due diligence report without using my notes. An idiot becomes mayor of Adventure City. His first infrastructure idea? Put a loop in the metro line. A loop. For a train full of people. On the first trip, logically the train gets stuck upside down and everyone needs to be rescued. It seems someone forgot to calculate that a train is...
