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?

You hear this word a lot in PPP meetings. Bankable. “This contract must be bankable.” Everyone nods. No one asks the obvious question. What does bankable actually mean? Let me translate. A PPP contract is bankable when a bank can look at it and say: “Fine. If everything goes wrong… we still get our money back.” That’s it. Not innovation. Not sustainability. Not beautiful PowerPoints. Money back. In Question 50 of the course below, I explain what really makes a PPP contract bankable. Because...

Innovation is one of the biggest fallacies in construction and PPP contracts. Governments love the word. It appears in every PowerPoint presented to ministers, investors and journalists. Innovation. Innovation. Innovation. But what exactly is innovation? A toilet that cleans your as$ with a water jet and eliminates toilet paper. Innovation? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends. In Question 28 of the course below, I explain how “innovation” actually works in PPP bids. How to win points if you are...

One of my fauvorites… A toll road PPP. Beautiful business model. Traffic studies. Economic growth projections. Sophisticated demand modelling. Consultants everywhere. Like queuing for free ice-cream… The road opened in 2007. The project was the South Bay Expressway SR‑125 toll road. Everything looked perfect on paper. Except for one small detail. Drivers. They didn’t show up. The financial model predicted tens of thousands of vehicles per day. Reality? Sometimes traffic was 70–80% lower than...
