Codie Sanchez, an amazing lady, building millions in boring businesses says it clearly. ​ Your salary will never set you free. Your financial freedom can only come through ownership. More specifically, through equity done the right way ​ She believes in boring businesses. I may try one day. I believe in making real estate a business. ​ I propose you a very simple offer. ​ That you take a look to my philosophy about real estate. It’s easier than you think. It just takes some work. Hard work I would say. But waking up every day at the hour you’re told, is some work. Some days, hard work. Wearing what you’re told is some work. For me… really hard work. Heating your chair with you *ss every day, minimum 8 hours, is also hard work. Waiting for a promotion or a raise that covers inflation is also hard work. ​ You choose your “hard”. ​ Buy cheap. Renovate. Hold or sell. Finance strategically. Be smart about taxes. Simple. ​ Still, many will wait and hope for a raise. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

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...
Most projects fail for boring reasons.Not for lack of brains.Not for lack of money.For lack of aligned incentives. Boring, because they repeat over and over. We write 300 pages of clauses. Pay great sums to lawyers working with the best views and more expensive offices. Then we hope.And hope is not a control. You want performance?Make winning for them the same as winning for you.Make losing for them the same as losing for you. Simple. Brutal. Fair. In PPPs, I’ve seen both worlds. World A:...
