You'll ignore the signs
|
It’s one of those images that were hidden. They remained unnoticed to me until two and a half years ago… when my child was born. Cigarette butts. You see them on the floor on every street, on every public square, on every children playground, in Spain. Despite signals. Despite campaigns by the government. Despite science. Despite basic education. Despite the ability to read the “smoking kills” of every package. People are attached to old habits despite they know they are bad. No matter what you try to persuade, they won’t change. They are doomed. They are condemned. The same happens in other aspects of life, not just that unhealthy habit. Getting attached to toxic couple. Getting attached to toxic jobs. Getting attached to poisonous pay checks. Never looking for a way out… That is evident many times. You have the signs. The information. The models. And still… you won’t use that way out. Don’t believe me? Here you are a sign. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

Maybe your procurement committee required three working groups, two memos and a risk register before approving a very simple decision. Maybe you opened the email, thought “I should...
Tonight at 23:59, the price of the two Hand-Back Requirements courses almost doubles. That is the email. Now, let’s remove the excuses. You don’t need more information. You don’t need to “think about it.” You don’t need to ask your boss, your partner, your mentor, your procurement guru, your spirit animal or the guy in the office who still thinks financial close is the peak of human civilisation. You know whether this is for you. If you work in PPPs, concessions, infrastructure, lenders’...
It doesn’t matter what project we’re talking about. PPP or else. If I took a picture of most people negotiating a Project Agreement today and compared it with one from five years ago, you wouldn’t notice the difference. Same priorities. Same obsession with financial close. Same attention to construction risk. Same drama around LDs, relief events, variations, refinancing, performance deductions and lenders’ approvals. And the same silence around Hand-Back Requirements. Nothing has changed....
