Why you should be lazy

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Laziness.
There’s something about laziness that can actually teach you a lot—and even help you level up your investments like never before.

Think about it logically.
Most businesses are built on laziness.

  • "Should we get a taxi?"
  • "Why the hell would I go out trying to flag one down—just order an Uber."

Sound familiar?
But this one probably hits even closer:

  • "What should we have for dinner?"
  • "As long as I don’t have to make it, order whatever you want."

Laziness drives the world.
And it makes sense.
We want to focus on what we enjoy or what we’re good at.
Nothing else.

Same thing happens with investing.
Especially with real estate.

A lot of people are too lazy to look for properties.
To analyze them.
To buy, renovate, manage them...
You get the idea.

This is why so few people actually do this. Make money. Create wealth.

Now, you decide in which side of laziness you want to be.

Big table. Bigger egos. Billion-dollar numbers floating around like confetti. We are in the middle of a key meeting of a bid for a PPP project. Slide on the screen. The Bid Director clears his throat. “And now, I’ll pass it to – let’s say - Carlos, who will walk us through the interface risk allocation model.” Silence. People start looking to each other. More looking. Some rumours. Someone nervously laughed… Carlos is not in the room. Not in the building. Not in the country. Where the hell is...

These days I’ve been in an amazing table. Not business guys this time, but that’s not important. The best lawyers. The best technical guys. The best commercial people in the country. Being there simply blows your mind. Their work ethics. Their commitment. Their sharp insights. I should be paying for being there… Being in those tables. With excellent people. In the decision-making tables. It’s a game changer for any professional. If you go with an open mind, What you learn. What you absorb....

Ice cream. Free ice cream. This Friday was a hot, sunny day, and they guys could have not chosen a better moment. Lunch time in the business area of the city. Opening day. New shop. Very well known and delicious ice creams. I could not believe my eyes. The queue went over the corner. Expected waiting time: between 30 and 45 min. The square was full of people. No doubt, brilliant marketing campaign. If you already discover the trick around Santa and the Three Wise Men, you probably know that...
