Steve Jobs passed away 13 years ago. ​ After Steve Jobs passed away, the person who took his place was Tim Cook, Apple’s then Chief Operating Officer (COO). ​ Tim Cook highlighted above all others in his boss and mentor, Steve Jobs. It’s a quality that might seem simple on the surface but is incredibly complex in practice. ​ Tim Cook pointed out that Jobs’ supreme quality was his ability to change his mind about anything when someone presented him with an alternative to what he believed. ​ Being open to new evidence and not shutting down might not seem like a big deal, but being able to set aside your ego and learn from others to strengthen the weakest points of your ideas or opinions can help you refine them and have a clearer, more complete vision. ​ I think the same. ​ That’s why I enjoy being surrounded by people who make you think, rethink, question, doubt, and explore new paths or perspectives. ​ I changed my vision around real estate and about business. ​ You’ll find these learnings in the course below. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects. If you thought that the decision...
Most people say: “It’s too small for a PPP.” They’re wrong. In fact, this one might be your best lesson yet. In Eldoret, Kenya, the local government pulled off a PPP for solar-street-lighting. Project size: approx USD 23 million. Yes… 23 million US in a country in Africa… In a PPP! More data: Scope: ~20,000 LED street-lights + around 3 MWp solar + 10 MWh storage. Goal: Replace ageing lighting, reduce cost, save lives, cut emissions. And this is why you should study this PPP Project: 1. Small...
The world is at war. Not sure if you realized it. Take a look. The far left and the far right. Work–life balance. Working hours and retirement. More rights and fewer taxes, or more; housing, precarity and the minimum wage… Pensions; emissions, plastics and manatees. Republic or monarchy. “No immigration” or open borders. Separatism or globalism. Fake news; the killers from one side or the torturers from the other, from this war or the other one… And football, rugby, the Black Friday and a...
