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.

In 2014. France. A true and very well documented story. The government ordered a new generation of regional trains. Beautiful trains. Modern. More comfortable. Not the smelly crap that they had when I studied in Paris… Nah… €15 billion of good trains. But someone forgot a small detail… The trains did not fit in many of the stations. You can think that those should be the basis… But no… Small details… Why bothering when we’re buying 15 billion of these things… The result? Around 1,300 platform...
Sometimes you receive funny comments and emails… Like… “Do I have to pay for a call?” as if until very recently there was not a time with no unlimited forfeits on your phone and you had to pay for EACH call… Look. I charge US$49.90 for a first call. Not enough to make me rich. At least not yet… and of course, not at that price. But the cost is still enough to make someone stop and ask: “Do I actually have a problem worth discussing?” Free calendars tend to attract three things: “Can I pick...
IBM had the best add possible: “Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” The logic was simple… as it was people they targeted. If it worked, fine. If it failed, nobody could blame you. You had chosen the biggest name. The sure name. Then a competitor added: “And nobody ever got promoted for buying IBM either.” Brilliant. Look. Too many advisers and providers are still selected like this. Through fear. The biggest logo. The thickest proposal. The largest team. The safe choice. Then the proposal...
