What is your goal in life?

Published almost 2 years ago • 1 min read

The answer is found in the simple, yet profound, statement by a Vietnamese monk, Thich Naht Hahn: “The path is the goal.”

In other words, finding your path in life is your goal in life.

Not your job, how much money you make, your title, who you marry, or your successes and failures.

I have nothing against success fees. I do work on success. But think about it. Working entirely at...

Imagine you are building a hospital. Actually, make it two. Both under PFI contracts, aka, another acronym in the PPP world. One morning, your contractor goes into liquidation. That morning arrived on 15 January 2018. The contractor was Carillion. The hospitals were Royal Liverpool and Midland Metropolitan. Construction stopped. Unfortunately, patients could not be admitted to a PowerPoint explaining the risk allocation. Fortunately, only their taxes were claimed. The projects had to be...

35% Discount in a BAFO. The client chose someone else. This is why.

You know those “premium” sofas in New Zealand? The ones that are so premium that are also suddenly 50% off? Wonderful news. Until you wonder what the original price was doing.
