Your network is your net worth, and it’s shrinking…
You wake up, check your phone. Get work done, on your laptop. Buy your groceries, with a click. Order lunch and dinner, from an app. Watch a movie, on a screen. Go to bed, after one last scroll. ​ A day of life, and you seldom have to talk mouth hole to mouth hole. If this feels normal, that’s because it is. But normal doesn’t mean good, and the data shows we’re choosing this path more than ever. ​ • In-person socializing dropped by over 20% between 2003 to 2023, with the decline surpassing 35% for unmarried men and young adults. • 74% of restaurant traffic comes from takeout and delivery, up from 61% before the pandemic. Meanwhile, solo dining has surged 29% in just 2 years, according to OpenTable. • The typical adult buys three movie tickets a year but watches the equivalent of about 8 movies per week at home. ​ Welcome to the anti-social century where we’re losing our communities.
This is a massive, invisible tax on our well-being, success, and likely our wallets, and it’s costing us more than you think.
More drinks, fewer toasts. More binge-watching, fewer outings. More texting, less talking. For decades, we’ve optimized for convenience. Now we’re paying for it… in terms of health, wealth and mindset. ​ Community shapes who you are, who you become, and how much you can accomplish. ​ And over the next 10 years, the people who understand how to build, nurture, and leverage community are going to win big. ​ This is why I love Real Estate. I’m creating my own community. Agents. Brokers. Builders. Lawyers. Accountants… It’s fun. It’s profitable. And keeps me alive. ​ Take a look to this and tell me what you think… ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment? - Price $29.90​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

When I hear this, there is a shake in my spine. I’ll try. Or worse. We’ll try. That’s a total lack of commitments. I’m not talking about common sense in the White House. No. But about commitment. Commitment is one of those things there is total shortage. Too many individuals, companies, organizations… too many fail to commit fully to their activities, duties, obligations and responsibilities. They are not on board. They don’t feel real pain if something is not achieved. To acquire success is...
If your only plan to improve your finances is cutting expenses, you’ve got a big problem. Not because it’s a bad plan—it’s not... If you’re wasting money on unnecessary crap, the first thing you should fix is exactly that. But… The problem is purely mathematical, and I love maths. Cutting expenses has a limit. If you make 3.000 euros or dollars or whatever per month and save 500… You may be able to save 200 more. If you turn off Netflix, maybe 215… If you cut Amazon Prime, maybe 300 And if...
I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. On the promise of a pension. On kleptocratic politicians squeezing you “for your own good.” Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. And if you don’t disrupt, you’re the...
