Things that you can do with a bottle of beer
|
People complicate their lives too much. Too many devices. Too many tools. Too many self-inflicted constraints. In 1942, during the Battle of Guadalcanal, U.S. Marine Sergeant Tony Stein found himself without a weapon. So, he made a custom machine gun from a salvaged aircraft's machine gun. It worked so well that he took down numerous enemy positions during intense firefights. Then, he run out of ammunition. Instead of retreating, he dashed back multiple times through enemy fire to resupply using his helmet to carry bullets. When it wasn't enough, he took an empty beer bottle to store more ammo. He was not just brave, but resourceful. Stein ended getting the Medal of Honor for his bravery, but it was the use of the beer bottle that became an unforgettable anecdote among fellow soldiers. People ask for a new CRM software… more powerful, with more features. Or a document management system. Or a new Add software. Or a new AI device. Self-made excuses. ​ Look. ​ I know people that manage businesses with a turnover of more than 1 million a year run only from a mobile phone. Others use just an Excel file to track thousands of clients and services. ​ Not ideal, I agree. But their constraints don’t stop them to make things happen. ​ Sometime ago, I wrote a short book with my top real estate strategies. I used most of them. ​ I’m telling you my own numbers. What I invested. The return that I got. I also analyse what other investors I know are doing and what they are getting. I’m telling you what gurus out there say, and why you should be careful. ​ You can apply and adapt these concepts to any place you are. Without too many complications. Without too many tools. ​ Perfect read for a weekend. ​ You can purchase it, below.

You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. Don’t believe it? Well… let’s check. You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to wake up early. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but......
Many of us see our parents putting on weight. When you have 20 or 30 kg of fat on your body and you don’t maintain good muscle mass, it’s difficult to climb stairs, get on the ground and stand up without help, or even walk. Can you imagine 20 kg less fat and 5 kg more muscle? Fitter parents and grandparents. Fewer medications. Fewer side effects. More trips. More vitality. It’s hard to change habits that have been ingrained for many years. But there are some highly effective levers that can...
Imagine a country like this: A total of 48 million inhabitants. 7.2 million under 16 years old. Therefore, they do not work. Among retirees, pensioners, the disabled, students, housewives, unemployed... there are 16.7 million who also do not work. That leaves us with 24 million people available to work (half of the country). Of those 24 million, 3.6 million are employed by the state, regions, municipalities, whatever. The rest are self-employed and salaried workers. Specifically: • 3.2...
