If you live in a condo or townhouse complex like my own, you know what’s happening anytime there are big works, right? Yes. Disaster. Extra cost. Extra time. Extra frustrations. And so on. Impossible not to be. People in charge don’t have experience performing those works. They overpromise and they underdeliver, spending more time and money than everyone expected. ​ It’s like politicians. ​ Some never finished any studies that they make laws about universities. They don’t understand the economy, but they make laws about banks. They never founded and managed a company, but they create incentives for them through subsidies or tax reliefs. ​ But people that even are “in the business”, they don’t get updated. I have a property and project manager that still calculate costs with 2021 rates… and then, he get surprises when his projects go underwater. ​ You have to be up to date. You can be the reference in your field. And this doesn’t require a lot of effort. As people are working very little in upscaling their skills and knowledge, you can get on the top very, very quickly. ​ Find coaches, mentors and good information. Nothing will get you back more return with less effort or cost. ​ What about ready a document like this one? ​ ​Facts you need to know about PPPs.pdf​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

They are people and contractors alike. I have one I love. It’s the company that is building one of my projects in Spain. You choose the best in experience. Even you pay a premium to hire the guys. Then, work start. Progress slow. Extras coming in… and in… and in… Questions. More questions. More obvious questions. No progress. And your experience? Your references? “I do what you tell me to do. Nothing else. Nothing more”. These are the maliciously obedient. They do exactly and only what you...
In life there are two kinds of people. Those that fears AI or artificial intelligence (in case you forgot what AI means), and those that only think about how to apply it to “their case” and produce more doing less. Those that see PPPs or Public Private Partnerships (in case you forgot what PPP means) as an existential threat, and those that only think about how to use the opportunity to make more money for them and their companies. I could continue with bitcoin, China, the next pandemic,...
A few of you have asked me whether my course about investment is a “stock market” or “trading” course. The answer is simple. No. I have no f**** idea about trading or the “stock market”, so the only thing available to me would be to put free stuff in social media. But, I have a few other things in my plate, and I’m lazy, so I’ve not started those free videos yet. The course is about common sense investing. The common sense that 99% of people forget… or simply don’t apply. It tells you the...
