Why you should be lazy

Published 7 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.

Most governments say they want world-class infrastructure. But few have the guts to bring in world-class people. But the Ministry of Transport of Quebec did. When they launched the A-30 PPP, they didn’t hide behind local comfort zones. They opened the door. Contractors from Spain. Designers and Independent engineers from the UK… with limited French. The guys that were to remove the snow were not even from Canada… That was not easy in Quebec. Not politically. Not culturally. But it was brave....

Behind my computer I have a painting from Egypt. And this makes me remember how those guys used to work. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza 4,500 years ago.2.3 million stone blocks.Each up to 80 tons.No AI. No BIM. No “collaboration workshops.” Probably a whip, but also vision, discipline, and a leader who didn’t run design sprints. He ordered them. While today we spend months deciding whether to use Slack or Teams, Sharepoint or ACONEX, those guys were aligning tens of thousands of workers...

I was talking yesterday to my real estate agent, and we arrived at the same conclusion. There are so many opportunities out there! Just a question of picking up the right one! But there are so many, that you don’t know what to choose. Exactly that happens in many fields these days. PPPs for example. Agencies launch a new project and they expect companies lining up for the bid. Then… they find the hard way that there is just silence in the room. Zero excitement. Too many projects and agencies...
