Why you should be lazy

Published 10 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.

I did not know that idea from Bezos. Yes, the Amazon guy. Getting better with time like good wine. Apparently, when organizing meetings he is a weirdoo. And one of his weirdadas is that “if you have to order two pizzas, there are too many people in the meeting”. Of course, he does not care about people fasting. The idea is that 80% of the best decisions, ideas, etc. come from the 20% of people. So, why having to spend more money on pizzas… Bezitos is known for saving to the penny… and the...

Yesterday I saw an orange New Beetle. I love cars. And this “orange” that seemed so eccentric and powerful reminded me a picture I saw in LinkedIn. The picture compares two parking lots. One in the 70s and another one today. In the 70s, you had a rainbow of colours. Green, blue, red, yellow, orange… Different tones… If you go today to a parking lot, you’ll see black, white, a few grey and fewer red and blue. We are in a world where it’s better not to grab attention. To go with the flow....

He was betrayed by his wife. Stop taking pills. Finishing studies. Recently married. Moved to a new town. Bought a house. In debt, for furniture and all the set up of a new life together. I’m pregnant. OK… Twins. Tough 7-8 months. Lots of medical issues. Risk. Stress. Danger. Anger and fear. All went well at the end. But things could not go that well any longer. Now he is a single dad. Moved away. Reorganized his life in a new country. From scratch. With two wonderful 14 years-old boys. When...
