Gold out of the weeds
|
Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places. I’m not saying Cook Island, Vanuatu, Fiji… some of my last trips, but “other places”. You’ll get sued. You’ll sue someone. You’ll get robbed. You’ll make amazing friends. You’ll meet incredible people and partners. You’ll grow… faster than “the rest”. You’ll become smarter, calmer, more focused… faster than the rest, by the way. ​ Be around people that you admire will push you closer to that people… you’ll become one of them. This is why friends, colleagues, partners and so on are so critical. Solo you can do things faster, but with great people around you, you’ll go further. ​ One of the things that cost me a long, long time to learn was the “focus”. To separate the gold out of the weeds. What I did in Real Estate terms is explained below. ​Is this piece of Real Estate a good investment?​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

If you are not going to love the answer, don’t ask. Simple. And still people… ask. I love chocolate. I make a terrific chocolate cake that is being famous in Spain, Canada and New Zealand. I pour fondant chocolate for a small army. 100%. Dark. Real. Pure chocolate. No sugar. I enjoy making this cake so much!! For my 3 year-old son’s birthday… do you think that I’m going to ask parents whether I should put 5 tablets of dark chocolate in the cake? I’d be crazy. Still, many people would ask. For...
Last Friday I almost closed a chapter. A terrible project. Lost lots of money. And of course… I’m looking now for the next. Many people out there play not to lose. But this is a losing strategy. You learn a lot when you lose. You barely know what went really well and why when you just win. It can be anything. But when you lose, you learn. Really well. You adjust. You repeat. You increase the odds for next time. When investing in real estate I see this trend all the time. Invest. It didn’t go...
