You want to get fit or financially free? Don't do this
|
You know that working 8 hours a day for over 40 years straight, just to retire and finally enjoy “the life of your dreams” in the last stage of your life has never been my cup of tea. ​ My goal is not the Lambo. It’s not drinking overpriced wine… and obviously not New Zealand red wines. ​ I just want to own my time. ​ That’s it. ​ Some people call this financial freedom. ​ You know that I read about the subject. Forums, blogs, books, and… from time to time I did it on social media. ​ Yes… it was a time where I checked those places. ​ Here is the problem I discovered. ​ If you check those sites that poison your brain, you’ll find a bunch of self-proclaimed “experts” telling you exactly what to do to reach financial freedom. ​ The problem? None of them have actually achieved it. ​ Think about it: ​ Overweight people preaching health. Government employees giving startup advice. Broke financial gurus talking about “freedom” while watching their bank account hit zero on the 25th… ​ Come on… You have to laugh. ​ I don’t know about you, but I don’t listen to people like that. ​ Think again: Want to get fit? Follow athletes, coaches, and nutritionists. Want to learn business? Study successful entrepreneurs. Want financial freedom? Pay attention to people who are already there. ​ That’s it. ​ And with projects or infrastructure, this works the same. ​ Think again please: Want a bridge over the sea? Find those that have successfully done it before. Want a tunnel under the sea? Find those that have successfully done it before. Want a successful PPP? Find those projects that were delivered successfully ​ That’s it. ​ Want to know about a project that was successful despite all the odds? ​ Check below.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from an agent. Vicente, I have this house for you, and you should take a look. I receive the link. I take a look. The ratio rooms: people was 2:1 and I counted the cat as one. “Too big for us”. “Too big? But you can afford it” “That may be true, but it’s too big, we don’t need that space”. The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects. If you thought that the decision...
Most people say: “It’s too small for a PPP.” They’re wrong. In fact, this one might be your best lesson yet. In Eldoret, Kenya, the local government pulled off a PPP for solar-street-lighting. Project size: approx USD 23 million. Yes… 23 million US in a country in Africa… In a PPP! More data: Scope: ~20,000 LED street-lights + around 3 MWp solar + 10 MWh storage. Goal: Replace ageing lighting, reduce cost, save lives, cut emissions. And this is why you should study this PPP Project: 1. Small...
The world is at war. Not sure if you realized it. Take a look. The far left and the far right. Work–life balance. Working hours and retirement. More rights and fewer taxes, or more; housing, precarity and the minimum wage… Pensions; emissions, plastics and manatees. Republic or monarchy. “No immigration” or open borders. Separatism or globalism. Fake news; the killers from one side or the torturers from the other, from this war or the other one… And football, rugby, the Black Friday and a...
