You'll think of it during the weekend

Multitasking kills more dreams than a nearby disco with reggaeton. Focus is everything. This is why there are so many people, companies and politicians competing for yours. Distracting you. Keeping you down… unfocused. News, sales, offers, “favours”. They arrive from everywhere with the only objective of grabbing your attention. ​ When you are managing a project, for example, having many open fronts is a terrible distraction. You end unable to differentiate the urgent from the important, the important from the essential, and so on. You end like a beheaded chicken going from one fire to the next… keeping your busy… and happy and comfortable in your busyness, you end achieving very little. There are plenty of people whose job is “answering” emails. Obsessed with keeping the inbox at zero… instead of achieving their targets and get things done. Clarity is so important. Focus is much easier with clarity. Apply this thinking to your job, your business, your project. Everything changes when your brain pushes only in the direction you want to go… ​ I have a course about clarity. It answers one of the most asked questions in Real Estate. ​Is this piece of Real Estate a good investment?​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Before 2010, the Philippines’ PPP program was infamous for all the wrong reasons: legal uncertainty, endless bid delays, weak feasibility studies, and risk allocations that scared investors away faster than typhoons. So they decided to stop, review, learn and repeat. They started to ask the market about what was wrong with the last projects. They noted. And decided...
You know that moment when a government says: “We’re launching a massive PPP program.” Or… “We are going to partner with the private sector to build roads”! Everyone claps like seals because… wow… private money, shiny highways, “international best practice,”. Re-election secured. Mexico did that in the early 90s. Fifty-two highway concessions. I repeat. 52 PPP fever everywhere. The “future” of infrastructure. And we’ll build Speedy Gonzales speed. Spoiler: It didn’t end well. Actually, it...
Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
