Why you should be lazy

Published 3 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.

When you are doing real estate, there are always mistakes. That point that is not well located. The m2 in the council register that does not match reality… Things like that. But you’re more or less alone on this or with your small team. You assume that in multibillion dollar projects, things get more organized. You know. PPPs. So complex. So sophisticated. And… So… human. Yeah, because humans, not banks, not machines, not financial models… humans deliver. And humans “la joden”… or screw it...

Once upon a PPP… A government agency somewhere on this planet (let’s keep names confidential to protect the not-so-innocent) was closing a deal on a massive infrastructure PPP. As usualll… Billions involved. Advisors everywhere. Very expensive ones, of course. Lawyers billing by the minute. Months of negotiations. Taxpayers forgetting about their money. Everything was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Until it wasn’t. Well… in the final version of the contract, someone — probably after too much...

I don’t do it every day. I agree. But, in case some of you still haven’t realized it by now, when talking about real estate, I’m talking about one thing and one thing only: Freedom. How to master the skills needed so you don’t depend on a salary, laziness, the opinions of others, or being stuck in places you don’t want to be at times you don’t want to. How to tame discipline, strength, and morality so that you’re the master of your desires and not a slave to your instincts. That is a goal...
