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.

You know that moment when a government says: “We’re launching a massive PPP program.” Or… “We are going to partner with the private sector to build roads”! Everyone claps like seals because… wow… private money, shiny highways, “international best practice,”. Re-election secured. Mexico did that in the early 90s. Fifty-two highway concessions. I repeat. 52 PPP fever everywhere. The “future” of infrastructure. And we’ll build Speedy Gonzales speed. Spoiler: It didn’t end well. Actually, it...
Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...
