It's becoming tabu
|
It’s a constant. When you talk freely about money you’re critized. And not just from Spain, the country that is a fiscal hell but the paradise of criticism and the prosecution of the rich, no… It’s everywhere. It’s becoming a kind of tabu. Look. The world is full of people who say, "money isn’t important". Good for them. But I think they don’t know what they’re saying. They just say it for the sake of saying it. It’s a cliché. If they stopped for a moment to think, they would realize that money matters to them more than they’re willing to admit. For money, they spend a large part of their lives doing things they deeply hate. So Spain is a poor country, or Spanish people poor in mindset. And it’s a pity, because some of the stories I tell in the book below, that money made through smart investing, are in Spain. And if you can make money there… trust me, you can everywhere.

More looking. Some rumours. Someone nervously laughed… Carlos is not in the room. Not in the building. Not in the country. Where the hell is...
These days I’ve been in an amazing table. Not business guys this time, but that’s not important. The best lawyers. The best technical guys. The best commercial people in the country. Being there simply blows your mind. Their work ethics. Their commitment. Their sharp insights. I should be paying for being there… Being in those tables. With excellent people. In the decision-making tables. It’s a game changer for any professional. If you go with an open mind, What you learn. What you absorb....
Ice cream. Free ice cream. This Friday was a hot, sunny day, and they guys could have not chosen a better moment. Lunch time in the business area of the city. Opening day. New shop. Very well known and delicious ice creams. I could not believe my eyes. The queue went over the corner. Expected waiting time: between 30 and 45 min. The square was full of people. No doubt, brilliant marketing campaign. If you already discover the trick around Santa and the Three Wise Men, you probably know that...
