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.

If they are not your clients or employees or colleagues now, they will be very soon. What’s this telling you? Simple. Worry less about technology and much more about experience and understanding. Most people out there are obsessed with how to implement AI, but are incapable of empathizing with their neighbor’s human pain or joy. Don’t stress about...

I’ve never seen anybody truly making anything great just by waiting. Just by not taking action. Just by letting train after train leave the station. Tomorrow. When I finish the next free-course. Or the next certification. Or when I come back from holidays. Or when I have time “in the summer”. Or when I read “that” book. Or else. Pray and wait is a strategy for failure. Or mediocracy. Problems don’t solve magically themselves. Wishes never come true unless you move your a$$. This is true for...

I told you about Horward before. 1982. New York. A young guy joined a company. Not as CEO. Not as strategist. Not as “Head of Vision.” Director of Retail Operations. Exciting, right? Mid-level. Replaceable. Just another guy executing someone else’s plan. The company was called: Starbucks The guy was: Howard Schultz At that time, Starbucks didn’t even sell the “Starbucks experience.” They sold beans. Machines. Coffee equipment. No romance. No Italian fantasy. No global empire. Just beans. But...
