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.

This is where a coach and mentor can help you.

In 1991, researchers at Cambridge had a supply problem. Coffee. You know how this is… Nothing can get done without a great coffee. The poor scientists trying to save the world walked down several flights of stairs to discover an empty pot. Demand was strong. Storage was inadequate. And the previous users had consumed the strategic reserve. Anyone working in infrastructure should recognise the situation… the pattern… and the claims. So they installed a camera, connected it to their computer...

A German and a Swiss engineer build a bridge… Sounds like the start of a joke. But it is real. It happened in Laufenburg. The two countries used different reference levels for measuring elevation. A 27-centimetre difference. The engineers knew about it. So they corrected it. With the wrong sign. The difference became 54 centimetres. Beautiful. Two countries working together to make one problem twice as big. There’s a lesson here… The pictures are in the internet. If you’re not sure exactly...

Imagine the meeting. A team arrives with a brilliant infrastructure idea. Good engineers. Beautiful drawings. Some very expensive lawyers wearing 5.000 suits… so that you know well where your money is going… They may even have intellectual property. Actual IP. Something more substantial than putting “proprietary” in the footer. The project will reduce congestion, create jobs and transform the economy. Of course. Nobody has ever arrived at a minister’s office promising to make traffic worse....
