Why you should be lazy


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.

Last Friday I almost closed a chapter. A terrible project. Lost lots of money. And of course… I’m looking now for the next. Many people out there play not to lose. But this is a losing strategy. You learn a lot when you lose. You barely know what went really well and why when you just win. It can be anything. But when you lose, you learn. Really well. You adjust. You repeat. You increase the odds for next time. When investing in real estate I see this trend all the time. Invest. It didn’t go...

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...
