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.

A young engineer arrived at his first PPP meeting. He had prepared properly. He had read the 300-page PPP guide. Then the meeting started. Availability payments. DSCR. Relief Events. Compensation Events. Senior debt. Subordinated debt. After twenty minutes, he whispered to the person next to him: “Is there a glossary?” “Yes,” the colleague replied. “It’s 68 pages.” Welcome to PPP. I was not that junior this time… but trust me… I could have been… An industry that sometimes needs 68 pages,...
In 1991, researchers at Cambridge had a supply problem. Coffee. You know how this is… Nothing can get done without a great coffee. The poor scientists trying to save the world walked down several flights of stairs to discover an empty pot. Demand was strong. Storage was inadequate. And the previous users had consumed the strategic reserve. Anyone working in infrastructure should recognise the situation… the pattern… and the claims. So they installed a camera, connected it to their computer...
A German and a Swiss engineer build a bridge… Sounds like the start of a joke. But it is real. It happened in Laufenburg. The two countries used different reference levels for measuring elevation. A 27-centimetre difference. The engineers knew about it. So they corrected it. With the wrong sign. The difference became 54 centimetres. Beautiful. Two countries working together to make one problem twice as big. There’s a lesson here… The pictures are in the internet. If you’re not sure exactly...
