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.

You know... I just came back from China. And I have to admit something. I was impressed. Not by the skyscrapers. Not by the technology. Not even by the infrastructure… or the great toll systems (yes, I’m a geek for them). Although, to be fair, a country that added almost 2,900 km of high-speed railway in a single year deserves some credit. Some countries struggle to build 3 km of metro without a parliamentary inquiry, a budget revision and three changes of government. No. What impressed me...
As you know, I’ve been in China looking at things for our property business. Tiles. Kitchens. Bathrooms. Doors. Windows. A glamorous international adventure involving questions about hinges or how easy is to clean a toilet. Naturally, everything looks fantastic. That is rather the purpose of a showroom. Nobody puts the work-in-progress window under a spotlight. “Come in, sir. This one leaks.” And that got me thinking about infrastructure and construction sites. Project directors that had the...
1858. England, land of pirates. The British Parliament had a problem. The river outside smelled like sh*t. The reason was simple. It was full of sh*t. An unfortunate combination. London had been dumping sewage into the Thames, and a hot summer made the consequences particularly difficult to ignore. No wonder why French perfumes were so popular. And of course… the smell was very close to where the lords sat… sorry… work… sorry, you know. Suddenly, PPPS, water management became a very important...
