You want to get fit or financially free? Don't do this


You know that working 8 hours a day for over 40 years straight, just to retire and finally enjoy “the life of your dreams” in the last stage of your life has never been my cup of tea.

My goal is not the Lambo.

It’s not drinking overpriced wine… and obviously not New Zealand red wines.

I just want to own my time.

That’s it.

Some people call this financial freedom.

You know that I read about the subject.

Forums, blogs, books, and… from time to time I did it on social media.

Yes… it was a time where I checked those places.

Here is the problem I discovered.

If you check those sites that poison your brain, you’ll find a bunch of self-proclaimed “experts” telling you exactly what to do to reach financial freedom.

The problem?

None of them have actually achieved it.

Think about it:

Overweight people preaching health.

Government employees giving startup advice.

Broke financial gurus talking about “freedom” while watching their bank account hit zero on the 25th…

Come on… You have to laugh.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t listen to people like that.

Think again:

Want to get fit? Follow athletes, coaches, and nutritionists.

Want to learn business? Study successful entrepreneurs.

Want financial freedom? Pay attention to people who are already there.

That’s it.

And with projects or infrastructure, this works the same.

Think again please:

Want a bridge over the sea? Find those that have successfully done it before.

Want a tunnel under the sea? Find those that have successfully done it before.

Want a successful PPP? Find those projects that were delivered successfully

That’s it.

Want to know about a project that was successful despite all the odds?

Most consultants are expensive spectators. Nice slides.Clean Excel models.Zero impact. They show up.They talk.They disappear. And the project?Still stuck. In the mouse wheel… running but still in the same place. It may be the perverse incentive of maximizing gains by increasing scope and delaying everything… although that’s for another days. Look… In big projects, nobody pays you for your time.They pay you for one thing: Movement. Decisions made.Problems killed.Risks reduced.Money saved....

This is a nice week for me. Birthday and week of great decisions. Decisions on my businesses. Decisions on my investments. Important ones. You see… I feel butterflies in my stomach. Fear. Doubts. So, I know perfectly well that I’m growing. I’m making progress. Look. Matt Gray, someone you should follow on LinkedIn – it’s free and you’ll learn a lot from him – said the other day that your circle establishes your ceiling. Your boss. Your friends. Your business partners. Your colleagues. Etc....

I once said that Preferred Bidder is the most dangerous moment in a PPP. It’s like the moment that the shark attacks in Jaws… just when you expect it less… Everyone relaxes. Champagne glasses appear. LinkedIn posts multiply. “Proud to be part of the winning consortium.” Then reality walks into the room. Let’s talk about the Malaysia–Singapore High Speed Rail. A mega rail PPP. 350 km. High-speed trains. Two countries connected. Estimated cost: $15-20 billion. The type of project ministers...
