Success is inevitable

“Raise the bar on yourself. Never settle for doing “enough.” Today’s world is competitive and moves so quickly that you will have to raise your stamina level if you expect to remain in the competition or to even get into the competition to begin with” – D. Trump ​ Yes, he is Donald Trump. ​ People, especially in Europe, are still wondering how he won the elections. Others observed, enjoyed, eating popcorns despite the spoiler. ​ Even if you don’t like him, the truth is that he is right. Doing just what’s expected is the perfect receipt for failure, for the inconsequential, for remaining invisible. No trouble, but no glory. Just one number. ​ If you are of those few that want to raise the bar. Do more. Go beyond. Study. Read. Go to a seminar. Buy a course. Find new friends that are further than you are in your way to the top. Or find a mentor... like for example, by clicking below. Only until 31 January.

Not very big, not too fancy… but a view. You have to pay well for those things in NZ… and not an investment, but a place to live. Anyway. Counter-offer… 3.2 million. The agent called it buyer’s regret. I call it, not serious. This happened in December. And this is not uncommon. I’ve seen teams that once named...
Eastern Europe. Late 2000s. If you are old enough, you can feel the context. A massive highways PPP. Toll road. Billions in capex. One of those “nation-building” projects politicians love to parade in front of TV cameras. You can smell now the country… Your consortia are seasoned. Anyone knowing how to pour asphalt on top of something lined up. Your lenders are aligned. Your traffic advisors have gone blind staring at stochastic models. Everyone is gearing up for a clean, competitive...
I buy houses, apartments and buildings from 20.000km distance. In Spain, Panama, New Zealand… and I can stay anywhere. Of course, I don’t recommend that for you. Some people want to push globalization too much. Having assets in London, NY, Madrid, Singapore, Sydney, etc. at the same time is not good for your health, nor your pocket. You miss specialization. You miss learning and knowing well a market. When bidding PPP projects, I have seen successful bidders doing so from the distance....
