The most efficient predator is not what you think


Christmas is a fantastic moment of the year to check how the world work.

Many people have no idea of what your hard-earned dollars that move the world work.

Many people still ask me whether to invest as a company or as individual.

Look.

One of the biggest financial predators of our money is the government… Taxes.

You want the new Mac.

Retail cost 2.300$.

Imagine that you are lucky and make 10.000$ a month and you want to buy that Mac.

The government eats around 40% in income tax.

You got 6.000$ to buy that Mac.

You buy it.

You end your month with 3.700$.

​

Now, you have your real estate property (or properties) under a company.

You make 10.000$ in income.

You buy your Mac because you will end up using it for your business at 2.000$ as you deduct 300$ in GST.

Then, one day (not that month) you pay the taxes, at 25%.

Your balance for that month will be 6.000$... when the time to pay the tax arrives.

​

This is not magic, nor nothing illegal.

You’ll need to work with your advisor, but that’s the power of financial intelligence.

​

See that difference multiplied month after month for 40 years of work.

​

Then, you wonder…

​

And this is the same in the US, Canada, UK, Spain, Australia, New Zealand or wherever you are.

With exceptions, nuances, limitations, etc.

​

This is the power of knowledge… plus action.

If no action, it does not matter how much knowledge.

Most governments say they want world-class infrastructure. But few have the guts to bring in world-class people. But the Ministry of Transport of Quebec did. When they launched the A-30 PPP, they didn’t hide behind local comfort zones. They opened the door. Contractors from Spain. Designers and Independent engineers from the UK… with limited French. The guys that were to remove the snow were not even from Canada… That was not easy in Quebec. Not politically. Not culturally. But it was brave....

Behind my computer I have a painting from Egypt. And this makes me remember how those guys used to work. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...

I was talking yesterday to my real estate agent, and we arrived at the same conclusion. There are so many opportunities out there! Just a question of picking up the right one! But there are so many, that you don’t know what to choose. Exactly that happens in many fields these days. PPPs for example. Agencies launch a new project and they expect companies lining up for the bid. Then… they find the hard way that there is just silence in the room. Zero excitement. Too many projects and agencies...
