This week I’ve been quite busy. Just launching into the market two new short-term rentals. Looking at the dishwasher, some furniture, attending the internet technical guy… things like that. I could probably delegate all this, but sometimes, you want to be on top of everything. Why do I do this? Why, would you ask. ​ Because I like it… and because I do believe that money is important. Very important. You may like it more or less, but 99% of the decisions you will make in the future will be influenced by the money in your wallet. Or maybe 99.99%... I could be wrong with the decimals… ​ Where you live, how you live, the number of generic brands in your fridge, and the school your children attend will depend on the money you manage. ​ Now, I’m not saying it should be the center of your life… its importance is just only a little below the air you breath… But it is certainly a huge help in keeping the real center running smoothly. ​ So, wouldn’t it be a better idea to establish a healthy relationship with money and make an effort to understand how to save it, invest it, or generate it? ​ I’d say yes. ​ But that’s just my opinion. ​ Money is not your enemy. It’s not the devil. It’s not a spiritual obstacle. ​ What I’m trying to tell my young child is that, on the contrary, money is a wonderful universal agreement. A beautiful way to acknowledge the value received and given. ​ And ignoring its importance is denying both our era and human intelligence. ​ I insist—this isn’t about obsessing over money, but about understanding and integrating its relevance in the times we live in. ​ Otherwise, you should have been born earlier—or later. ​ That said, there are a thousand places that can help you grasp this idea, and nine hundred and ninety-nine of them are probably great. ​ But this one (which happens to be mine, and which I proudly and happily invite you to buy) is too. ​ Do you want to know why I’m doing short term rentals? ​ The answer, below. ​Even you can make money on real estate - Price $14.90​ ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

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. There are.” Which ones? No market need – 42% Ran out of cash – 29% Not the right team – 23% Got outcompeted – 19% Pricing/cost issues – 18% Poor product – 17% Flawed or missing business model – 17% Poor...
Last week, I got quite sick. Small children. Viruses. Usual suspects. My body wanted bed, and this is what I did… But… I could have been watching Netflix. Or worse… The TV… If I knew how to get the channels. Instead, I completed a couple of courses I had bought and were still pending. Perfect reset. New ideas. One of these courses is by Matt Gray. And I loved what he said about obsession. Anyone that has achieved a decent level of success in life has some sort of obsession. You can think of...
One of the “interesting” things about having sat at all four corners of the table, and having done so in several countries, is that you start comparing. Yes, I know. It’s a Spanish sickness. We like criticising more than we like evading taxes… or voting for politicians who do. I can’t escape my genes, no matter how a Kiwi I've become. You compare. And sooner or later, you reach a painful conclusion. Especially now that I live in the paradise of the South Pacific. Nations led by builders build...
