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.

The project had already collapsed.Construction delays, cost overruns, contractors running for the hills. The SPV was bleeding cash faster than it could spell “refinancing.” Of course, everyone looked at the guys in suits… So the lenders felt the pressure and for once, they worked a little bit. They exercised their step-in rights. Poor...
There are only 4 types of personalities. Goldfinches, parrots, pigeons, and foxes. That’s how the world is organized.Goldfinches sing, parrots repeat, pigeons wander around, and foxes feast on goldfinches, parrots, and pigeons. Goldfinches talk. They tell everyone how things should be done. They write books about Marx, give lectures to entrepreneurs, and preach about how the economy ought to work. Parrots repeat. They vote, cheer, kneel, lick, suck, swallow, and when a stranger scores a goal,...
Consultants thrive in complexity. And mostly, because they are the cause of complexity. If it’s to simple, too easy, “they’ll” pay less. That’s life. Just like some MBAs… they get longer adding non-sense stuff, just to justify higher prices. But that’s for another day. Well… nothing is more dangerous for the taxpayer that an army of consultants with no general at the helm. They rapidly discover that they can print money but adding a few pages more to their reports. Or more comments. More...
