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? Check below.

My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
Alfred Hitchcock had a peculiar habit. He appeared for a few seconds in almost every one of his films. At first it was a joke. Then it became a problem. Audiences started watching the screen obsessively, trying to spot him. They were no longer following the story. They were hunting Hitchcock. So in films like Psycho, he solved it in a simple way. He appeared right at the beginning. Problem solved. Distraction gone. When I review PPP bids, clients always ask the same question. “Vicente…...
Everyone loves the construction contractor. Big cranes. Huge concrete pours. Drone videos. Beautiful. But in a PPP project… Construction lasts 3 years, maybe 4… except in NZ… around 8 years – don’t ask me why. Operations last 30. And yet, people spend 90% of their time talking about construction. Very clever. And I understand… it’s the place of the big bucks; the ministers’ visit and the Public Relationship paradise. Question 72 of the course below answers a simple question: What is a good...
