Sometimes in business you fail. Overconfidence. Bad calculations. Hiring the bad people. Weak systems… and a few times, simply bad luck. My failures and my teachers. My losses my investment. I’m lucky that I have a successful brother and remembers me all these things. He is also able to see the good news in every failure, even if it is a great loss. As Robert Kiyosaki said: Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so don’t be afraid of failing. Failing is part of the process of success. You can’t have success without failure”. Every failure, at work, in your business, in your relationships, is keeping you closer to where you want to be. Just take the learning. And forget the rest.

High-speed trains. Two countries connected. Estimated cost: $15-20 billion. The type of project ministers...
Some of the worst PPPs in the world come from capital cities trying to look impressive. Huge buildings. Architectural statements. Politicians cutting ribbons. And budgets exploding. But some of the best PPPs? They come from places nobody talks about. Take Ferguson Place Recreation Centre PPP. It sits in Fort St. John, Canada… Oh Canada! Population: about 21,000 people. Not exactly Tokyo. The city needed something simple: A recreation centre. Swimming pools. Ice rinks. Fitness facilities....
A toll road. In one of the richest regions of Europe. Northern Italy. Lombardy. Industrial powerhouse. Traffic everywhere. What could possibly go wrong? The project was called the Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda. A massive motorway designed to connect cities north of Milan and relieve congestion around the region. On paper, it looked like a dream. Economic powerhouse region. Millions of inhabitants. Constant truck traffic. Banks were queuing to through their money to the asphalt plant. Making...
