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You live in an outdated machine.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.

I have a friend. A colleague. She is very interested in putting her knowledge to work. On her own. In the consulting space. I always tell her that selling air conditioners probably has a much better future. You know. Climate change. Installation fees. Recurring maintenance revenue. All that. But she loves infrastructure. Let her be. She wanted to know how to create a service for a particular government agency. My answer was simple. Ask them what they need. Do not spend three months creating a...

Governments love plans. Ten-year plans. Twenty-year plans. In NZ, we are bold and we have now even a thirty-year plans. A great recollection of projects, without a vision. But still… Beautiful documents. Pipelines. Strategies. Dashboards. Digital systems. All useful. They normally forget one small thing… Very small… Almost invisible… Someone still needs to do the work. That’s it. Someone needs to understand the information. Challenge the assumptions. Structure the project. Run the...

You don’t need to be loud to be powerful. But you do need to stop hiding behind safe opinions. Mainstream opinions. Collaboration. Governance. Value for money. Quality. Those words per se mean nothing. They have been used so much that they have become empty. Give me an example. Be specific. What exactly do you mean? Give me your definition. If you believe something deeply, say it. Stand by it. Own it. And own the reaction too. The people who matter won’t always agree with you. But they will...
