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.

And usually in favor of the private sector... 50–60% of PPP contracts in developed countriesand up to 70% in emerging marketsare renegotiated within the first 5–7 years. So the contract you sign is not the contract you live with. What does it mean? Simple… It means the real risk allocationis not the one approved by...

It is a much small bag. But my wife is happier. Christmas present. She needed a new bag. Found one she liked but it was much smaller than her previous bag. She was worried. But yesterday, she said. I'm very happy with this bag. You know why? Surprise me... (but I knew the answer). As it smaller, I put less things inside, and it's much lighter. Like tender documentation. I've been heavily criticised for being a fanatic of reducing as much as I can the "space" for bidders to explain their...
