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.

Take the Peterborough Prison PPP in the UK.On paper, it was innovative: the first privately financed prison with a focus on rehabilitation. The government loved the concept. The innocent believers in human nature wet dreamt about it. The financiers lined up.The operator thought they could make it work… if not, they would still...
Humiliation can come in many ways. But probably, one of the most humiliating failures a government can suffer in a PPP is the silence. This happened in a mid-sized developed country of the Commonwealth just a few years ago. The government wanted a flagship social infrastructure project: a cluster of new courthouses and justice facilities, spread across regional cities. They framed it as transformational. A “once in a generation” opportunity. Ministers on stage, cameras rolling, the usual...
A couple of days ago I was invited to a podcast. One of the questions I was asked was… “What advice you have for entrepreneurs” Or that kind of question. But the answer was instantaneous. Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
