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.

A bad letter creates questions. A polished letter creates confidence. It has been reviewed by management. Checked by the lawyers. Discussed with the technical team. Perhaps even approved by the Board. Everyone agrees. Send it. And that is precisely when I become nervous. Intelligent people do not normally make...
Rule 8 of PPPs: Never go around the SPV. That shortcut has lawyers at the other end. I know why agencies do it. The SPV needs to consult the contractor. Then the shareholders. Then the Board. Then the lenders. Then the lawyers. What should take five minutes takes three weeks. So, someone decides to be practical: “Let’s speak directly with the contractor.” Wrong. Look. The contractor builds the project. The SPV owns the promise. The SPV holds the Project Agreement. The SPV carries the...
Someone went on holiday. Nothing particularly unusual about that. Except that this person had to approve an invoice. And without that approval, the dark accountant at the agency did not even know he had to make an important payment. Without the payment, the SPV would not have enough cash to meet its obligations. Yes… pay your debt is really important in these cases. So, a billion dollar project was suddenly exposed to an insolvency risk because one person went on holiday. Fortunately, we had...
