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.

Meetings with 23 people and zero decisions are normal. A contractor sending 17 notices before breakfast is normal. A client changing its mind every Thursday is normal. 50 notices being exchanged at 4:50pm on Friday is normal. A SPV board asking “where are we with this?” every month is normal. No, my friend. That is not normal. That is...
There are two kinds of people. The complainers. And the people who have no time to complain. A few years ago, I became one of the founders of a start-up in Panama. Camarounds. Think of it as an Uber for services. Electricians. Technicians. Bricklayers. Plumbers. Maintenance people. The kind of people you need when something breaks and suddenly your life becomes a small Latin American tragedy. Yes. I like exploring. I like investing. I like trying things. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it...
Some people keep asking for a manual. A framework. A checklist. A step-by-step guide. A beautiful PDF with arrows, diagrams, acronyms, and the comforting illusion that if they follow it properly, nothing bad will happen. Let me tell you something that may hurt a little. Or a lot… depending on how many checklists and guides you’re collecting and keeping unread somewhere in your laptop or phone… People who are obsessed with manuals are often not looking for knowledge. They are looking for...
