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. ​

My wife has sentenced. My little son and I are condemned to not wearing anything white clothes in the next 10 to 15 years. No matter what you do, no matter how much precaution you have, it all ends the same. Wine, oil, or tomato come to the party. And that polo or shirt ended like a Kleenex. One use only. No matter what you do, it’s time you look for a second use or prepare to send it to a charity. One use only, as I said. Like great RFPs. Millions spent. Dozens of consultants mobilized....

Just in a rush as I’m taking a plane. You’ve been reading my emails for weeks. Learning, nodding, agreeing… But nothing changes just by knowing. You can blame the market. You can blame your company. You can blame your boss or the government or the crisis. Or you can accept a fact: Winners move when others freeze. You want better projects? Better money? Recognition? A pat in the back? Then you must become the person who gets those things. You know what I’m offering. Not soft coaching, but...

A client of mine was angry. Very angry. An obstinate and incompetent operator. A client that did not understand what a PPP was or how risks work. Claims. Lots of letters. Even more frustration. It’s hard to work in that environment. But it’s almost the day to day of many projects. People not understanding each other. Not because some are incompetent and have nothing to do but heating and protecting their chairs… that happens sometimes… but because nobody is trying to understand the other...
