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.

This email contains the formula to learn anything. It’s not a secret. And it’s obvious. And you know it. But your ass loves to be comfortable. Look. Most of us learn to ride a bicycle only by falling off a few times. We learn to walk by falling a few times. Then we get to school, and we are taught not to fall. We are taught that people who fall are stupid. We are taught that smart people are people who sit like the three birds on the fence and memorize the right answers. I was a nerd. Less...
Before answering that question whose answer may change the way you see life, let me tell you something. Today is settlement day for me. Another deal. Aristotle once said this: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”. I like deals. I do deals. I become a deal maker. With more deals, I’m becoming a better deal maker. This thing that may seem simple or easy to you is less usual than you think. Excellence is achieved by repetition, and improving through each...
Do you believe that Amazon could be built by Jeff Bezos doing 15$/hour tasks? I have this debate very often with entrepreneurs from all sorts of backgrounds. They believe that they need to do everything by themselves. If you want a business not to grow, or you want your business to get stuck or simply your health going to hell… do all by yourself. Schedule meetings, take minutes, actions, do follow ups, check the receipts, upload this into the accounting tool, etc. etc. etc. All by yourself....
