Christmas fairy tale

The idea of passive income is a fairy tale. Make money while you sleep. Ha! Sorry. Do you know what you need for that? Money. A lot of money. And if you haven’t previously built a damn empire, you won’t have enough money. The reality about creating that empire is different. It’s raw, ugly. I’m not here to sweeten the poison. Being an entrepreneur is not a fantasy, it’s a contact sport… when you’re the punching bag. What you’ve been told about real estate is a lie. Entrepreneurship in this...

Phones, tablets, robots… Every skill you have today and that you believe is marketable won't be in a few short years. These will be some skills though that will remain in extreme demand for a decade or so. AI engineers. Why? Because somebody needs to deploy the wonderful alien technology we've discovered - to increase automation of every company and organization. Some will become millionaires, and billionaires. Most will be employees. I saw the trend 25 years ago with communications. Great...

Although Christmas Eve, I'm not talking about elves.... but I'm sure you have seen these ones. When some people are given a little bit of power, they tend to use it ruthlessly. Frustrated people that use that power to get away for a few seconds of their miserable lives. Today, I’m talking about a poor public servant that because a stupid mistake they want to charge me 14.937 euros instead of 668,32 euros. “I have the power to impose it, and I won’t change my mind” And tomorrow, I’ll find...

Yesterday a subscriber said to me that “money is not the most important thing in life”. I agree. Air and water tend to be more important. Because, let’s be honest. Money is not the most important thing in life, but money does affect everything that is important. When you think about it, money affects our standard of living, health, and education. Studies show that poor people have poorer health, poorer education, and a shorter life span. People struggling for money, even if not poor also have...

Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review. If you are one of those that think that YOU can’t change and grow… there is a bottom that says unsubscribe. Please click. Change can be fast. Change can also be permanent. Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We...

When I’m saying that more than you think is determined by biology and, in particular, our stone-aged brains, is no joke. Look. Despite what some political anti-macho politicians may say, like it or not, what attracts you is an undeniable biological reality. In no society, culture, or era—past or present—have vulnerable, weak, or unmotivated men been seen as attractive to women. Despite what social narratives might say about showcasing your sensitivity or crying openly, those traits alone...

I was discussing with one of the people I mentor about investments. Funds, stocks, bonds… All, medium class or mediocracy class thinking. Study a lot, get good grades, get a high-paid job, save and invest in a well diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. You know the story… And the results. We talked about Bitcoin. And again… it’s not just that Bitcoin crossed the 100.000 USD mark effortless, it’s that your dollars lose value by the hour. More than 15 million of notes per...

I’ve met a few these last weeks… so I can deduct that the world is full of who dream of quitting their job and become entrepreneurs, running their own business, running investments, living somewhere else or taking more control of their lives. The problem is that their dream is just a dream. It’s a question of priorities. A question of courage. I was not very courageous, I must confess. This is why I decided to act with the two feet on the ground. All started with side businesses. All failed....

Robert Kiyosaki wrote today’s email, in 2007. A healthy environment is one that offers feedback. Life is constantly giving you priceless information if you are willing to receive it, and most of the time the feedback is free. Every time you open your pay envelope and see how much is lost to taxes, this is feedback. If your creditors are calling, demanding payment, this is feedback. If you are working harder and not earning enough, this is feedback. If you are spending more time at work and...

Many people and many businesses only do things for external validation. The complicate themselves too much. They make everything flashier, more eye-catching, and overly complicated. Of course… results reflect the trend. Why do people do this? It seems that they need to impress others and prove they can also implement those "high-level" systems and strategies. Buahhhh. Excuse-me, I’m cleaning some vomits… Sorry to tell you that nobody is going around patting you on the back because you did...
