I know you won't do this

When you are with your radar on, even a short trip can bring you great ideas. You drive, everybody is sleeping, and you see business opportunities or business ideas. I can’t help it. Suddenly you see that there are people “operating” farms. I think that’s a great idea. I come from the countryside and I’m sick of seeing old people with no succession plan, and no buyers for their land. Great idea. Old and tired, too much work, very little gains, they can’t cope with technological changes, they close. With lots of baby boomers retiring, this seems to have a market. It’s like arbitrage in Airbnb… you don’t need to have lots of properties to make money in the real estate market. Just rent long term, operate short term rentals. It takes some work, but it’s profitable. Still… many people will read this, and won’t even get to the internet and check competitors for the farm operators, business models or whether there is any opportunities where they live. I did. And I won’t tell you the results. It’s just a question of mindset. You can see opportunities everywhere, or just trouble. If just see the second, don’t complain about Trump, Biden, taxes, or your paycheck. Take a look to the business opportunities I explain in this little book. Buy it today. Next week, I double the price.

I once said that Preferred Bidder is the most dangerous moment in a PPP. It’s like the moment that the shark attacks in Jaws… just when you expect it less… Everyone relaxes. Champagne glasses appear. LinkedIn posts multiply. “Proud to be part of the winning consortium.” Then reality walks into the room. Let’s talk about the Malaysia–Singapore High Speed Rail. A mega rail PPP. 350 km. High-speed trains. Two countries connected. Estimated cost: $15-20 billion. The type of project ministers...
Some of the worst PPPs in the world come from capital cities trying to look impressive. Huge buildings. Architectural statements. Politicians cutting ribbons. And budgets exploding. But some of the best PPPs? They come from places nobody talks about. Take Ferguson Place Recreation Centre PPP. It sits in Fort St. John, Canada… Oh Canada! Population: about 21,000 people. Not exactly Tokyo. The city needed something simple: A recreation centre. Swimming pools. Ice rinks. Fitness facilities....
A toll road. In one of the richest regions of Europe. Northern Italy. Lombardy. Industrial powerhouse. Traffic everywhere. What could possibly go wrong? The project was called the Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda. A massive motorway designed to connect cities north of Milan and relieve congestion around the region. On paper, it looked like a dream. Economic powerhouse region. Millions of inhabitants. Constant truck traffic. Banks were queuing to through their money to the asphalt plant. Making...
