How do wealthy protect their wealth through art and paintings

Nation building via learning and being the best in business

So painters get rich if they have painter

1.  The wealthy buys commission the painter
2.   The wealthy pays the painter say P40 m for somethign that could be ugly
3.   Then the wealthy puts the painting at warehouse (a freeport)
4     Then they put up the painting for auction.   
      The purpose is to up the price.   The price goes up to P80M
5.  Then the wealthy person donates the art piece to a museum.
      The museum accepts the donation which is tax free

It is a financial weapon disguised as philanthropy or culture.

You dont have to work harder, but smarter to be rich

Nation building via learning and being the best in business

1.  You are the business.  You have your own story, your brand, your grit, your energy.  Show your face
2.  Raise the bar, or burn the bar down  SJ was violent about standards, simplicity  That is why customers love Apple.   What habits are you tolerating low standards?  Be careful of what you tolerate.
3.  From star wars.    Build the parts of your vision before it happens    (Eg Lucas - who built their sets for the galaxy that never exist.  Can you do that for the business you envision)
4.  Conviction beats consensus.     E. g Bernard Arnoux  (LV)  50 year vision
5.  Delete before you improve  (Schumpeterian -  you have to destroy before you build)
     Destroy before you start.   Return to basic principles.

     Automate
     Eliminate
     Delegate

     A Del2  (Automate,  Delete, Delegate

6.  Energy of start ups build empires  (Alexander the Great)









7.  Draw the dream and build the machine.  Eg. Disney  Land.  Drew the dream and built it.  
     Have you drawn the dream you want to build.
