It's been a miracle
|
The world is a hard place. Not only if you live now in Canada, Panama or Greenland. It’s a hard place. Period. People that say that money is not important have no idea of the power of money. It’s freedom. It’s choices. I just saw today the picture of a newborn among other 60 immigrants in a patera, a ship that you won’t use to fish in a lake with a couple of friends, used to travel with other 60 people, hundreds of miles in the Atlantic, from Africa to Spain. The newborn was born in that patera. In that ship. Rescuing him alive was a miracle. Money moves people to risk their lives or their most precious possession. Money allowed to locate these people, to rescue these people and to make miracles. I don’t know about you, but this is the best piece of news I’ve seen in a while. ​ You surely have more choices. ​ If you want to do good for the world, make money, get rich, use your freedom to do good… and, if possible, miracles. ​ I’m in my way. Below it is how. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

And usually in favor of the private sector... 50–60% of PPP contracts in developed countriesand up to 70% in emerging marketsare renegotiated within the first 5–7 years. So the contract you sign is not the contract you live with. What does it mean? Simple… It means the real risk allocationis not the one approved by...
This week I received a message from a subscriber that should make every government, agency, and consulting firm uncomfortable. It came from a man who led one of the most successful Education PPPs in the world.

It is a much small bag. But my wife is happier. Christmas present. She needed a new bag. Found one she liked but it was much smaller than her previous bag. She was worried. But yesterday, she said. I'm very happy with this bag. You know why? Surprise me... (but I knew the answer). As it smaller, I put less things inside, and it's much lighter. Like tender documentation. I've been heavily criticised for being a fanatic of reducing as much as I can the "space" for bidders to explain their...
