But there’s one thing that’s always been there—quiet, without promising overnight riches, yet delivering solid results: real estate. Now, some people claim real estate isn’t profitable. ​ ​ Let’s break down why real estate continues to be one of the best investments out there: Stability: “Passive” income – never passive, I know but quite so… ​ Consistent appreciation: Control over your investment: This is the ultimate benefit.

If you like megaprojects, this is a must see. The project used extensive off-site manufacturing to help control quality and reduce disturbance to marine...

Which means moving my @ss, meeting suppliers, asking questions and starting from zero somewhere nobody particularly cares what I did before. Former CEO? Lovely. Board experience? Wonderful. Twenty years in infrastructure? Very impressive, sir. Now, how many toilets would you like? Fair enough. Look. There’s a lesson here...
Any project in the world has a meeting like this. The most senior person says: “I think this is an excellent opportunity.” Suddenly, everyone discovers they think so too. Extraordinary. Twenty minutes earlier, the project looked like a hostage note. Now it’s “a compelling investment proposition.” The spreadsheet hasn’t changed.
