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.

Look. The phrase “It’s only a letter” can be the most dangerous in PPP language. Sometimes, it genuinely is only a letter. An update. A clarification. Something routine. But sometimes, that letter gives away a position worth millions. Or… It accepts a risk nobody intended to accept. Or… It creates a precedent that will be quoted back to you two years later by someone charging $900 an hour. Or it says something perfectly reasonable… In precisely the wrong way. The problem is that you normally...
Yeah. This is what I was told recently at a networking event. “Too expensive for a poor contractor like me.” I reckon. I can be very expensive… and, on top of that… invisible. For someone managing a multibillion-dollar project, spending $500k, $1 million or $2 million to prevent problems can feel very expensive. Yeah. Until they have a $100–500 million problem. A problem that could have been prevented, or at least minimised, with the right strategies in place. Suddenly, that “expensive...
Don’t write me anymore about it. Of course, it was not mine. Such a good email could only be written by a genius copy-writer. My genius is in infrastructure. Still, very criticised, by the way... That text, with the few modern touches was written more than 110 years ago. And still absolutely valid. And still creates emotions impossible to ignore. I hope that you learnt something and that generated in you the will to become that leader. If you do want it. If you want to success in your...
