It seems like investment trends change with the seasons. Who knows. 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. In the stock market, you’re at the mercy of big corporations, macroeconomic decisions or Trumps sense of humor. Security: Yeah, you may have a fire, an earthquake… but what’s insurance for? So yes—profitability isn’t just measured in numbers. Because while others are stressing over extreme volatility, real estate investors sleep soundly knowing their wealth is still growing. Look.

You know I work in PPPs. I like them. I’ve spent more than 20 years bidding, delivering and managing them. And sometimes, the most useful...
In 2009, French composer Maurice Jarre died. An Irish student called Shane Fitzgerald decided to give him something to say. Very generous. So… He invented a quote and added it to Jarre’s Wikipedia page. Newspapers picked it up for their obituaries. Lovely words. Right person. Perfect timing. Only one small problem. Jarre had never said them. The source was a student with an internet connection… unchecked. Apparently, that was enough to become an internationally published authority on what a...
Tony Robbins made a point that stayed with me. When you believe something won’t work, you barely try. Then the results disappoint. And you say: “See? I knew it.” Congratulations. You have successfully proved a theory you barely tested. We do this with businesses. Careers. Difficult projects. “I’m not ready for that role.” “They would never hire us.” “This team will never change.” Sometimes we call it experience. Sometimes it’s fear wearing a very respectable suit.
