Too much of a burden
|
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.

Metronet was responsible for upgrading and maintaining most of the London Underground under one of the largest PPP programmes ever undertaken. The structure was sophisticated. The contracts were enormous. The advisers were experienced. And the incentives were fundamentally wrong. “That doesn’t apply to our project.” Of course not. Your project is unique. So was Metronet. Well… in our case. Metronet’s shareholders were also its principal suppliers. Con 2 c*jones… or with 2 eggs. Strong...
“Not for me.” Of course not. This is what some of you wrote to me yesterday. Your operator definitely did not price the contract as if KPI deductions did not exist. They definitely did not assume the client would pay every change at cost plus margin… once or twice a year. And your builder? Of course they brought people with real close-out experience. They know exactly where the records are. The test results. The as-builts. The approvals. The evidence the Independent Engineer needs before...
“That doesn’t apply to my case.” I hear this all the time. Different asset. Different contract. Different country. Different shareholders. Different problems. My project is special. Of course, it is. Even the air you breath is. Look. Assets, projects, SPV, your toilet, whatever… are not making you suffer or smell bad odours because of a completely unique problem. The details are different. The patterns are not. It is the same in sales. Selling something for $5 and selling something for...
