Why you should be lazy

Published about 1 year 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.

Think about an event. I don’t know. A political one. Mr Trump visiting Mr Xi in China. Same event. Same date. Some newspapers will say Trump is brilliant. Others will say Trump went there to drop his pants, beg, and give Xi everything he asked for. Same event. Same dates. Different newspapers. The difference? Different points of view. And different agendas. Oh, surprise. Now you know why the client, if you are on the other side of the table, doesn’t have much sympathy for you and thinks you...

Not exactly “gold plating” in the luxury sense. Worse. Engineering gold plating. They didn’t want a baggage system. That would have been what they needed, but too boring. Too normal. Too “let’s move suitcases from A to B without humiliating ourselves in front of the entire planet.” No. Denver International Airport wanted something better. A fully automated baggage system. Airport-wide. High-speed. Radio-controlled carts. Miles of track. Computers deciding where every bag should go. Basically,...
