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.

Resources. It’s always a question of resources. Your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. All the same. They cheap you in with the resources. "Save here". "Save there". "$10k more of salary for this key person is too much…" in a $1bn project! "We can’t afford it". Etc. Then, one day… We are in a rush. Because someone told your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. That you needed more resources immediately. Additional scope. An urgent solution. And other excuses made...
Imagine that you’re in the middle of a settlement to buy a big property. Your people are telling you that there are a few defects. That you should hold the settlement. Or make a retention. Fight until the vendor repairs. Only one question to the team. “Is it more than 2.000$?” “Around that, yes” “Then forget it” “Why?” “Just the cost in legal fees to submit emails, agree retentions, etc. can cost about that money. Not worthy in a several millions purchase”. If that sounds logical to you,...
Masa is the founder of a Japanese bank and one of the greatest investors in history. Once, the guy went to the authority responsible for issuing the licences required to sell internet services and threatened to set himself on fire if they didn’t give him one immediately. He had been asking for it for a while. Something many don’t understand is that success requires conflict. Raising up in the food chain too. Every time you try to grab what you deserve, a gatekeeper appears to tell you no. And...
