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.

Very clever. And I understand… it’s the place of the big bucks; the ministers’ visit and the Public Relationship paradise. Question 72 of the course below answers a simple question: What is a good...
You hear this word a lot in PPP meetings. Bankable. “This contract must be bankable.” Everyone nods. No one asks the obvious question. What does bankable actually mean? Let me translate. A PPP contract is bankable when a bank can look at it and say: “Fine. If everything goes wrong… we still get our money back.” That’s it. Not innovation. Not sustainability. Not beautiful PowerPoints. Money back. In Question 50 of the course below, I explain what really makes a PPP contract bankable. Because...
Innovation is one of the biggest fallacies in construction and PPP contracts. Governments love the word. It appears in every PowerPoint presented to ministers, investors and journalists. Innovation. Innovation. Innovation. But what exactly is innovation? A toilet that cleans your as$ with a water jet and eliminates toilet paper. Innovation? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends. In Question 28 of the course below, I explain how “innovation” actually works in PPP bids. How to win points if you are...
