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.

Great power comes with greater responsibilities. When I come to Spain and I see the infrastructure of a relatively medium to high income country has and how this infrastructure has changed the lives of millions of people, you feel the weight on your shoulders. If you work in infrastructure, you are in a sector that is essential. I’m watching the AI revolution carefully. But the way a new road changes the lives of thousands of people with or without mobile phones in an instant is still too...

Every December, projects enter a strange parallel universe. And this week everything explodes. Budgets are frozen. Teams disappear. And every email ends with “before the Christmas break, please.” If you have been in “a Change approved before the Christmas break”. “A package submitted before…”. Etc. You’re in the trap. I did it once… Years ago. A change to be “approved” before the end of the year. So we rushed. Design team, commercial, legal, operations, the construction… everyone. Sleepless...

As many of you, I’m flying now. Holidays. Family. “Relax”… if a three years-old allow you to do so. Before I used my more than 20 hours of flight time to catch up with movies or read that book I definitely wanted to have read before arriving to destination. Now, I have to sync my sleep with the little one and get into the loop of all Disney Cars movies and Bluey shows. Still I have time to think of my next project. My next investment. And not just real estate, but also education and training....
