I usually panic... a little
|
These days, I usually panic a little. Just a little. Not because of the “social commitments.” And not because of the alcohol… which, let’s be honest, doesn’t do your health any good whether it’s “only one,” “only two,” December or June. ​ No. It’s something worse. Much worse than overeating and overdrinking. ​ Queueing. ​ For me, queueing is more terrifying than being forced to watch an entire season of Big Brother. ​ Nothing good ever comes out of standing in line. Nothing. Maybe disappointment… which should be enough to keep you from queueing again… but somehow never works. ​ Shopping and Vicente only coexist online… barely. The best use you can make of ChatGPT is asking it to buy your Christmas gifts… Or better: asking it to remind you that there are far more important things in life, and much more rewarding ways to use your time. ​ Anyway. Don’t queue. Put a value of $1,000/hour on your time, and suddenly nothing is worth waiting for. ​ However, let me give you one recommendation today. If you don’t like spending but you do love investing, I have a few solid proposals for you. Where to invest your money and your time. ​ What about the links below? ​The top 15 Lessons of a successful project​ ​The top 15 lessons of a nightmare project​ ​Don't be embarrassed. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

A nice thing of brining my son to daycare and this being in the same building than the main NZ infrastructure agencies is that you meet lots of people. From the doors to the elevator, people having coffee, hanging out in the sofas, etc. Suddenly a “hey, Vicente”, and then… Some free consultation. Well… not as free, as the coffee is excellent, I always order one. “On me”. The usual suspects are: How can ensure competitive tension? How can I deal with claims? How can I prevent claims? How many...
I’ve been closing some insurance policies these days. For myself. Health, life, mortgage, etc. You don’t appreciate enough a good broker until you get one. If you’re serious about investing, this is your second more important broker after your mortgage broker. But I don’t want to talk to you about personal insurance. But PPP insurance. It’s probably one of those fields, most people mess up. Clients. Banks. SPVs… All parties alike. You have insurance to cover accidents on site causing...
I’m doing quite a lot of work these days with market lead proposals. I mean, proposals coming directly from the market and made to the government of New Zealand. I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it.
