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. ​

Recently, I had the opportunity to provide some advice to someone living in Africa. He is advising the Government on a new series of PPP. The next target is the rehabilitation and transformation of two old buildings into landmark spaces to be used by the Government at 60%. The rest… lot of flexibility. Maybe too much. And lots of unknowns. To make this project attractive, or at least palatable we should provide to the proponents either access to the buildings so that they can satisfy...
In a recent interview, an expensive consultant… those that charge you for their offices in the middle of Manhattan and all the MBA fees of the Ivy League graduates, responded the following on TV to this question: “Are there some main causes behind startup failure?” The answer was: “Yes.
