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.

Less than 5% of highway projects got someone signing a BOT contract. So the government changed the model. Traffic-risk sharing. Revenue support. Government buyback. Suddenly, private investors are interested again. Funny how that happens. Let’s be fair. Sharing traffic risk may be exactly the right decision. Traffic is...
Financial close. Champagne. Photographs. Congratulations. A few speeches about partnership, collaboration and the exciting journey ahead. This phase… and the consequent hangover… normally lasts a couple of weeks. Then you wake up and realise that you have something the size of the Titanic to deliver. And you may have been procrastinating… and drinking and eating too much. You suddenly remember: The document management plan must be submitted within 10 Business Days of Financial Close....
You know I love real estate… Well… Imagine hiring a property manager. Then the tenant still calls you. You chase the unpaid rent. You arrange the plumber. You check whether the repair was completed. And, at the end of the month, the property manager sends you an invoice. It’s not a joke. This happens every day with assets worth billions of dollars. Investors hire people to manage their SPVs. But the investors still have to: Chase the board papers. Coordinate the operator, contractor, lenders...
