I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… ​ And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. ​ ​ The problem starts when you begin asking questions: ​ Well… ​ When you start asking those kinds of questions, you begin to see the world differently. Because the day you understand how money works, you stop swallowing the nonsense they’ve been selling you. You stop believing the lie that says, “Go to university, study, and you’ll get a good job.” Instead, you start moving. You start doing things. You start taking control of your money (and your life). And suddenly, you realize something huge: The power was never in them. Yes, in you. ​ To stop depending. To take control. To stop being just the one who foots the bill. To start playing to win. Losing? No. And your first step could start right here. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment? - Price $29.90​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Your consortium is ready. Equity committed. Contractors lined up. Designers caffeinated beyond medical guidelines. The agency launches the RFQ. Everyone smiles. “Finally, a flagship project done properly.” (What a beautiful illusion.) Then… the unexpected happens. A new Minister arrives. (You can already feel...
My wife has sentenced. My little son and I are condemned to not wearing anything white clothes in the next 10 to 15 years. No matter what you do, no matter how much precaution you have, it all ends the same. Wine, oil, or tomato come to the party. And that polo or shirt ended like a Kleenex. One use only. No matter what you do, it’s time you look for a second use or prepare to send it to a charity. One use only, as I said. Like great RFPs. Millions spent. Dozens of consultants mobilized....
Just in a rush as I’m taking a plane. You’ve been reading my emails for weeks. Learning, nodding, agreeing… But nothing changes just by knowing. You can blame the market. You can blame your company. You can blame your boss or the government or the crisis. Or you can accept a fact: Winners move when others freeze. You want better projects? Better money? Recognition? A pat in the back?
