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.

Something worse than pricing a mega-project with consultants? Adding a second consultant to “validate” the price. Worse? A third one doing a peer review. Don’t laugh. This happens… Every day. Governments behaving like headless chickens. Not knowing what to do… but doing something anyway. Anything. Because “we need robust numbers.” Because “we need to protect public money.” So they spend millions… just to feel safe. Good luck with that. Let me simplify it for you. When you renovate your...
They thought the deal was done. Preferred bidder. Banks aligned. Lawyers billing like there’s no tomorrow. Financial Close… just weeks away. Then Lehman Brothers collapsed (2008). And across the world… PPP deals froze. In the UK, dozens of Private Finance Initiative (PFI) projects suddenly faced: No liquidity Banks pulling out Margins exploding Some survived. Many didn’t. I remember those days well… as I was parachuted to the A30 Project in Montreal whose financial closed happened end of...
Someone lied to me yesterday. And not even a good lie. A lazy one. A client texts me on WhatsApp: “Aqualia came. They say we need to build an additional drainage point to install the final water meters. We have 10 days.” 10 days. That was the giveaway. Let me translate this for you. Aqualia. The most incompetent utility provider in Spain after Endesa (about those guys, I can talk another day). The same Aqualia that took 7 months to even show up. Now suddenly… they give us 10 days? Come on....
