When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. ​ Failures focus on hating. ​ Failures assume malice. ​ Failures obsess over what they don’t like. ​ ​ Successful people always find a reason to go further. ​ And the explanation is simple: Because slavery takes away the heaviest burden in the universe: responsibility. ​ That’s why even when a slave escapes and accidentally makes money, they immediately search for something new to enslave themselves to: meetings, commitments, micro-management. ​ Look… This is simple. ​ ​ That’s the first thing I’d do if I were living in slavery. ​ ​ The third?

If these statistics were true in a poor country, it would be one thing, but America is considered a wealthy country, right? Judging is a waste of time. Trying to reason about extremely complex issues based on information...
Once upon a time, there was once a hospital PPP that had every reason to implode. The private partner was a joint venture between a French construction giant, an Aussie FM firm, and a Spanish bank that hadn’t read the contract. What could get wrong? The public sector? A government department that changed name three times during procurement. Even the Independent Certifier was late to its own appointment. All the right mindset, bricks, etc. seem to be there… and of course… the damn thing...
Your wealth adventure will be complicated by a new awareness that you are short on skills. Early on, I realized how little I knew about how to connect with people, network, communicate, build rapport, and how little confidence I had.
