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.

October 1962. A room in Washington. A few men in suits. Coffee. Cigarettes. Maps of Cuba. What can go wrong? Welcome to the Cuban Missile Crisis. With the permission of any meeting between Trump with his advisors, the most dangerous meeting in modern history. The problem? The Soviets had possibly placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. 13 days to decide. Simple, right? Destroy the sites. Show strength. Win. That’s what half the room wanted. The other half? “Let’s not start World War III on a Tuesday...

You must speak up. Not in theory. Not on LinkedIn. In the room. Because there’s a lie many professionals tell themselves: “If they valued me… they would know what I think.” Wrong. “They should figure out” Again, wrong. That’s not intuition. That’s resentment… in disguise. Assume ignorance before malevolence. Read that again. People are not ignoring you. They simply don’t know what’s in your head. And you’re not helping. We live in a culture that avoids friction. People stay quiet. Nod. Let...

Sometimes I’ve walked into meetings where you could smell the blood from miles away. In one of those meetings, the SPV chair looked like he had just fallen off a tree that same morning. Stuttering like crazy. Like a guy from my hometown we used to call “The Stutterer”… el Tartas de mi pueblo. Impossible to take seriously. Looking at his papers. Looking at the screen. Searching for inspiration in the PowerPoint he put together the night before. He already started badly… talking about the...
