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.

Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. I’ve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old… People will listen....
Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business? Bet on yourself. Hiring your first employee? Bet on yourself. There is one thing I have learnt about big decisions. It’s always simpler than you think. Before you change your company and country, it feels scary, and risky. After you do, you wonder why you waited so long. Before you start your...
“Twenty years ago, my father built a thriving business with a handshake and a business card” “Sorry mate. Welcome to the Trust Recession Era”. In your father’s era, trust was institutional. People believed in companies, credentials, and corporate polish. Now, people don’t believe TV, the newspaper, the media, the government… Almost nothing. This is why great engineers, and other professionals remain invisible despite their skills. Other people, less-qualified attract attention. This is why...
