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.

Obviously, our conversation started by a “are you kidding me”? Managing multibillion dollar projects required people able to handle multibillion dollar projects. That’s the basics. If you bring to your team people used to manage projects in the range of 10 millions… the focus is not going to be on the right things. The nickelling and diamonding...
Imagine that you write your monthly report. Yes, you’re part of a consortium in a PPP project. You write your report. And you send it to the agency, the government, or whatever. It’s subject to the famous review procedures. The agency sends back comments. They disagree with some of your statements. And you disagree with those statements. What to do? Remember, next month, again the j*dido report de mi€rda. You can be dragged to an endless set of discussions about every single monthly report....
A terrible clause about Force Majeure. A lawyers’ money-making machine with the definition of “Substantial regulatory changes” A few days ago, I had the opportunity to discuss common flaws to PPP contracts. Lawyers can be really good drafting millions of pages. They have no idea how real people deal with those pages in a day to day basis. That was the conversation I had with a student of the mentorship. 5 clauses. 5 headaches. Easily avoidable. The clauses, the potential solutions, together...
