You know what you have to do... don't you?


You know what you need to do… oh yes.

But…

You live in an outdated machine. Well… We live.

Nothing excites your taste buds like fat and sugar.

Nothing.

​
Why?
Because, in a time when those resources were scarce, nature invented that way of telling you that if you came across something that gave you energy, you should gorge yourself on it.

​
The problem?
Your tongue still works like it did 200,000 years ago, but you live next to a supermarket full of industrial pastries and chips.

​
The result?
If left alone, you'd be capable of consuming junk food until you’re nauseous.

​
Right? Of course. Let's continue.

Do you know what your buttocks love the most?
No, not that.
The couch and Netflix, because if you rest, it means you don’t have to go out and hunt.

And your brain?
Avoiding the unexpected and conflict, because encountering a bear or running out of water could mean the end.

​
The result?
If left alone, you’re capable of stuffing yourself with security until you’re nauseous. Living life avoiding the fight, the cold, the failure.
And filling all your gaps with unnecessary considerations, unnecessary processes, and justifying your day based on meetings, meals, and scheduling appointments in your agenda.

​
Because it feels good, but don’t be fooled—it’s not right.

​
Even if the government doesn’t run campaigns to warn you about it. Quite the opposite. They love your binge on stability…

You know that uncomfortable means growth.

Talking to new people.

Learning new things.

Calling instead of sending an email or a WhatsApp.

Having that conversation that you should have had long time ago but you are just deferring and deferring.

And so on…

The alternative. Netflix and junk food.

What I propose you.

This.

Growth and high return.

You know I love real estate… Well… Imagine hiring a property manager. Then the tenant still calls you. You chase the unpaid rent. You arrange the plumber. You check whether the repair was completed. And, at the end of the month, the property manager sends you an invoice. It’s not a joke. This happens every day with assets worth billions of dollars. Investors hire people to manage their SPVs. But the investors still have to: Chase the board papers. Coordinate the operator, contractor, lenders...

Twenty years in the market. Dozens of transactions. Deep sector knowledge. Blah, blah, blah… Everyone says they are experienced… until you ask the question. “How much will it cost?” The answer: “It depends.” If you have seen this before you continue to dig in and you’ll see these answers: “We’ll charge based on time incurred.” “We can give you an estimate, but it won’t be binding.” I get it… I’ve been there. Partners. Directors. Senior managers. Managers. Analysts. Look. Everyone is...

I understand. Saving public money does not put a politician on TV. It is much better to announce that you are spending $1 billion. A new road. A new bridge. Some magnificent piece of infrastructure. Probably unnecessary. Possibly in a small town. But located in a very interesting constituency if you want to be re-elected. I get it. Avoiding the need to build infrastructure is even worse. You risk being called: “Cheap.” “Short-sighted.” “Not committed to your voters.” I get that too. The...
