This is probably the most valuable lesson I've ever learned in life. It might seem stupid, insignificant, or even crude to you. And… even though, it works. In simple terms: If you want something, ask for it. Read it again and take it to heart: ​ ​ You want a friend to go to the movies with you? Ask them. Always. You want your boss to give you a pay raise? Ask them. You want a user to try out a new feature? Ask them. If you ask, you receive.

Money back. In Question 50 of the course below, I explain what really makes a PPP contract bankable. Because...
Innovation is one of the biggest fallacies in construction and PPP contracts. Governments love the word. It appears in every PowerPoint presented to ministers, investors and journalists. Innovation.
