A suggestion for this new year
|
Live poor, die rich. This is the mindset that many people have these days “in order to be rich” or get financial freedom. You know the old piece of advice: study hard, get good grades, a good job, live below your means, save and retire. Terrible advice in these days where governments keep printing fake money, inflation is “moderated” by printing a lot or printing less, and the gap between the producers and the consumers is bigger by the day. I don’t know what plans you have for next year. I have a few. To buy 1-3 apartments to invest in New Zealand, start my new project of 4 additional Airbnb in Spain, start construction of a couple of hotels in Panama, keep developing my mentoring, coaching and consulting business… When having Champaign yesterday, I hope that you thought about what you want to achieve this year. The things that you’ll learn. The habits that you’ll change. Today, I propose you the course about investing below. Tomorrow, probably the same course. It’s good. But the day after tomorrow, it will be something different because you won’t have access anymore. It will be over. Out of the market, forever. Up to you… Save or Invest? ​Invest better than 99% of people... including fund managers​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

When you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you lose the touch with the rest of the world. But some marketing emails I have not unsubscribed yet, reminded me this week that winter was coming in the North. Black Friday stuff. Black Friday… In the past, I used Black Friday to buy some Christmas presents… I must admit it. Things have changed. A lot. Just a few news. Not many undesirable emails… I’m just focused on what matters to me. Business (infrastructure & real estate) and family. That’s all....
Most governments say they want world-class infrastructure. But few have the guts to bring in world-class people. But the Ministry of Transport of Quebec did. When they launched the A-30 PPP, they didn’t hide behind local comfort zones. They opened the door. Contractors from Spain. Designers and Independent engineers from the UK… with limited French. The guys that were to remove the snow were not even from Canada… That was not easy in Quebec. Not politically. Not culturally. But it was brave....
Behind my computer I have a painting from Egypt. And this makes me remember how those guys used to work. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...
