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. They will thank you enormously one day.

Humiliation can come in many ways. But probably, one of the most humiliating failures a government can suffer in a PPP is the silence. This happened in a mid-sized developed country of the Commonwealth just a few years ago. The government wanted a flagship social infrastructure project: a cluster of new courthouses and justice facilities, spread across regional cities. They framed it as transformational. A “once in a generation” opportunity. Ministers on stage, cameras rolling, the usual...
A couple of days ago I was invited to a podcast. One of the questions I was asked was… “What advice you have for entrepreneurs” Or that kind of question. But the answer was instantaneous. Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
I stopped this idea of paying for an hour. It’s outdated. Consultancy as we know it is dead. But many consultants have not realized of that. Paying by the hour encourages inefficiency. It’s easy. Lazy. Change a monthly salary for monthly hours at a rate. Sounds familiar. But it’s wrong. Knowledge cannot be measure in hours. You have it. And you can present it in seconds… not hours. Some people understand this concept. It happened to me a few months ago. A post in LinkedIn about a particular...
