How to own an island
|
Monge Malo, the best seller in Spanish language told this story a few days ago. ​ In 1978, Richard Branson (founder of Virgin), to impress his then-girlfriend, pretended to be buying a deserted island. Yeah… just like that. Some vacuum the car, others pretend to buy an island… ​ The island’s price was $6 million. ​ Richard offered $100,000. ​ Just for the laughs and with the intention to have good company under the sheet. ​ The owner counter-offered at $180,000, and Richard ended up acquiring Necker Island. ​ Yeah… just like that. ​ Luck? Of course. ​ Luck always follows those who take action. Those who seek the experience above all else. And those who ask. Especially when the requests are crazy and bold. ​ Action is always better than complaining. ​ Start taking action. Click below. ​

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...
