POV: MONACO VS DUBAI
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time between Monaco and Dubai and what bothers me is that people keep comparing both places and my POV is that Monaco is Monaco and Dubai is Dubai.
Stop wanting to make Dubai more European and Monaco modern like Dubai.
Having lunch at the Cafe de Paris and sipping a Negroni gives me those Belle Epoque vintage vibes making me feel in a 1920s movie and I love it for that.
Smoking shisha in Dubai on a tall skyscraper makes me feel I am on top of the world (literally) and I feel like a supersonic cartoon living in the future.
You don't go to Dubai wanting to see old buildings and ruins; likewise don't expect to go to Monaco looking for tall skyscrapers and a futuristic mindset.
Tourists come to Europe to visit old churches and learn about history; people go to Dubai to see the future!
They are both different and unique in their own ways and let's keep it that way! Embrace them for what they are and not what you think they "should" be.
YACHTING MASTERCLASS
Learn everything about the Superyacht Industry!
The Yachting Masterclass is an immersive course consisting of 22 modules over a 10-week program with executive schedules on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings so you can study after work, and get a certified diploma to credit you as a superyacht professional.

Companies are not hiring anymore
As you know the world has changed, and new business models are actually the ones thriving! The ones who have lower overheads and add more value to the clients!
...The largest car rental company in the world doesn't own cars (Uber)
...The largest hotel chain in the world doesn't own hotels (Airbnb)
and so ON.. you know how it goes..
In yachting, there are companies now offering to outsource employees like yacht crew which are very expensive.
Companies like Sat-Elite now provide virtual ETO's and ITO's who are available 24/7 and solve all connectivity issues onboard! They don't go on holiday and they do not sleep!
Whenever the internet doesn't work or the TV is not working or any other communication on board now you can have your virtual ETO or ITO available anytime!
? Reduce crew costs
? Avoid the internet not working
? Avoid TV's not working
? Stay within budget
OK CIAO BYE
It is midnight now (but I'll schedule this post to go live tomorrow morning) by the time you see this is Friday :) (which is a super posting tip, schedule your posts in advance!) and this is the only time I get to write my extra work tasks (yes I do not consider this to be part of my normal job) but is the only chance I get to pursue my hobby of social media is while my babies are asleep #workingmom #thestruggleisreal
?? Yes, I know the emojis are horrible, I also hate them as they make every post look so unprofessional BUT I have enough proof which shows that emojis
? do increase engagement, and
? make it easier and more enjoyable to read.

7 个月Your intake on Monaco vs Dubai it's perfect! There is no "one or the other" kind of comparison. It depends what your preferences are. I, personally, love both.

7 个月Interesting Debate on Monaco ???? vs Dubai esp as there is Brexit Chaos, probable Labour Government in UK and an erosion of Trust tax benefits in UK. We are doing lots of Fiscal comparison for residents, families and businesses. What people are finding in Both Dubai and Monaco ???? is you need to create substance and commit properly, visit both and ensure Husband and wife and business are all equally committed to the move. Also Dubai it’s really important to chose your FTZ and create substance properly. Tax is a strong driver of both decisions but it’s the life style and work life elements which can make or break a Tax driven move. Many fail as the Tax works but the lifestyle does not work for one of the Partners. Which in absolute worse case scenario leads to a split of a couple. Also don’t rule out Andorra ???? San Marino ???? Abu Dhabi, Isle of Man ???? Jersey ???? Guernsey ???? or on Shore of course Ireland. ????, and lastly don’t over look France…. Having lots of Kids in France ???? and a big family and well structured properties and Business is Possible to have a super life too. I’ve done it but long term Kids grow up…. And the tax benefits go. So plan for the long term. Italy ???? too has an interesting residence.
