What’s happening in Valencia, Spain is symptomatic of human nature. Human tragedy aside, which is the worst in our generation in Spain, the reaction of many people reflects once more our weaknesses. Our need to be part of a tribe, and our difficulty in recognize mistakes. ​ If you are a hater of the party in the central government, you know you’re right. They did it all wrong. If you are a hater of the other party, you know you’re right. They did it all wrong. The King, who passed by, did it all wrong too. He exists and coming to ground zero will be criticised at nauseum… in particular by people who did not move out of the sofa. ​ Impossible to recognize that doing anything in life without mistakes is impossible… however, coordinating a national catastrophe should be made with no mistakes. Especially if the coordinators are politicians that the most remarkable thing they did in their life was to make photocopies and have some ideas and say many lies to win elections. They never confronted any complex situation in their lives. With budgets, dozens of stakeholders, pressure, restrictions, low quality, conflicting and/or scattered information. But you voted them. You don’t want to recognize your mistake. And you blame them now. Bravo. ​ This is happening in Valencia and anywhere in the world. You’ll end up applauding their solutions for the future that will be more taxes and resources to be wasted by their incompetency. ​ Look. If you want to do something great for the world, create wealth. For yourself first. Don’t depend on those guys. Then, donate. Now, during and when you’re rich. To the people on the ground that can deliver. Don’t let those guys to take money from you to waste it. ​ That’s all for today. Be part of your own tribe. Acknowledge your mistakes and learn from them. You’ll be already in the path of the top 1% with that. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

"I’m doing well enough" or "I’m OK as I’m now" or… you know those words. Those sounds spited by some mouths touch my b*lls more than listening to a politician for 1 minute. Those sentences never come from people who have all their needs and desires met. No. You won’t hear that from Elon Musk or Warren Buffet. Not way. Those sentences come from people who check supermarket receipts, scrutinize bills, and choose dishes at restaurants based on price. Those sentences don’t come from people who...
Live poor, die rich. This is the mindset that many people have these days “in order to be rich” or get financial freedom. You know the old piece of advice: study hard, get good grades, a good job, live below your means, save and retire. Terrible advice in these days where governments keep printing fake money, inflation is “moderated” by printing a lot or printing less, and the gap between the producers and the consumers is bigger by the day. I don’t know what plans you have for next year. I...
We learn to compete early in life. We compete in school for grades. We compete in sports. We compete for attention. We compete for the person we love. We compete for jobs. We compete promotions. We compete for bonuses. We compete for recognition. And much more. Competition is survival. Learning a few tricks means the difference between depending on the government at retirement and retiring earlier. All start by mindset and investing properly. Knowing a few rules. Knowing the there is no free...
