The parable of The Pipeline

 

Lessons from the parable of The Pipeline by Burke Hedges.

 

·        Bruno, like most people, wasted time clinging onto a job, on the grounds that it offers security while forgoing the opportunity to create systems that could bring perpetual income in a lifetime.

·        Good decision making is crucial when facing projects that affect humanity.

·        People should not trade off their valuable time for small, temporary monetary gains. The time, once lost may never be recovered. Bruno was physically spent at a time, he needed money the most. It was a case of misplaced priorities and goals.

·        Determination and focus yield success. Pablo was more determined to get the project going and he never lost focus.

·        Most partnerships crumble because of greediness. Bruno was greedy and could not listen to Pablo. He wanted to pursue personal agenda, buying a cow.

·        Houses and cars that do not generate lifelong income are liabilities. This was the case with Brunos assets that failed to give the cover he dearly required at the point of need.

·        Some risks are worthy taking, if there is need to save humanity. Pablo balanced this act.

·        Most long term projects seem unattainable, consume more resources in the initial stages but eventually they are worth the effort. When Pablo started digging, it seemed an impossible mission. When he completed the task everyone enjoyed the sacrifice.

·        Projects require will power from their sponsors. Proper emotional intelligence kept Pablo’s will power intact.

·        Do not work for money, let money work for you by employing the right technologies (Pablo’s pipeline) to lessen human effort and labour hours in order to conquer life challenges.
