Lot of time spent with family, friends and people I used to know these days. Looking at what people do and say every 12 months is mind blowing. How close and how far away you can be 12 months, and 20.000 km away. You hear conversations. About 20 or 80 euros more or less per month that people receive in their pensions or in their social security payments. Complaints. Hopes. But not much action. Not much anything. I suppose that spending 1 or 2 hours to make a claim to the government is too much of a burden. Better complain and do nothing. But the most lovely scene of these days are the queues. And not the typical queues at the malls, at the bars, at the restaurants, at the ice cream shops, at the cafeterias… No. The queues to buy Spanish lottery. More than one hour waiting in the street. Under the cold. Sometimes under the rain. One hour waiting to buy a 2 euro hope ticket for a 0.000001% probability to win a few million euros. 2 euros and one or two hours of queue. You can explain them that they could go to the internet and with no waiting and from the comfort of your home, buy the same tickets and even have access to more tickets and buy exactly the number that you want… but again. Too much of a burden. Too much complexity. Too much work. Better waiting in the queue. In the course below, you can increase your chances of making a few million euros by a few million times the probability of winning the Spanish lottery. You can do it from the comfort of your home. No queues… But maybe… to much of a burden. Too much complexity. Too much work. And this is why you won’t buy the course below. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Still in the UK. Now, a hospital PPP. Large. Modern. Shiny. Hundreds of millions invested. Years of planning. Procurement. Financial close. Construction. Finally… The building was delivered. Or so everyone thought. The project was the Royal Liverpool University Hospital PFI project. New hospital. Supposed to open in 2017. There was only one small problem. The building could not be used. Fire safety defects. Structural issues. Incomplete works. Entire sections of the hospital had to be torn...
Everyone relaxes after the contract is signed. Lawyers celebrate. Sponsors shake hands. The press release goes out. “Landmark infrastructure project.” “World-class partnership.” “Long-term value for taxpayers.” Champagne. Photos. LinkedIn posts. Etc. In 2018 one of the largest PPP contractors in the UK, Carillion, collapsed overnight. Not struggling. Not restructuring. Collapsed. Gone. A tomar por cul0. The company was involved in dozens of PPP projects across the UK and beyond. Hospitals....
I hope you had not been in one of those… A meeting with a Power Point. Around 130 slides… Yes. One. Hundred. Thirty. Graphs. Tables. Appendices explaining the appendices. The speaker? Monotone. Boring. Like a GPS giving directions in the desert. A funeral seemed a fiesta in Ibiza. Slide 14… Slide 38… Slide 79… Around slide 92 something magical happened. One of the client directors fell asleep. Not metaphorically. Actually asleep. Head tilted. Eyes closed. The kind of sleep that says: “I’ve...
