Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company.

Financial close. Champagne. Photographs. Congratulations. A few speeches about partnership, collaboration and the exciting journey ahead. This phase… and the consequent hangover… normally lasts a couple of weeks. Then you wake up and realise that you have something the size of the Titanic to deliver. And you may have been procrastinating… and drinking and eating too much. You suddenly remember: The document management plan must be submitted within 10 Business Days of Financial Close....
You know I love real estate… Well… Imagine hiring a property manager. Then the tenant still calls you. You chase the unpaid rent. You arrange the plumber. You check whether the repair was completed. And, at the end of the month, the property manager sends you an invoice. It’s not a joke. This happens every day with assets worth billions of dollars. Investors hire people to manage their SPVs. But the investors still have to: Chase the board papers. Coordinate the operator, contractor, lenders...
Twenty years in the market. Dozens of transactions. Deep sector knowledge. Blah, blah, blah… Everyone says they are experienced… until you ask the question. “How much will it cost?” The answer: “It depends.” If you have seen this before you continue to dig in and you’ll see these answers: “We’ll charge based on time incurred.” “We can give you an estimate, but it won’t be binding.” I get it… I’ve been there.
