Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. And that’s absolutely true. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work. We define ourselves when we choose our company to our family. We define ourselves when we watch television instead of reading a book on business or investing. We define ourselves when we turn our money over to a mutual fund to invest for us instead of learning how to invest by ourselves. We define ourselves when we choose social media to improve ourselves. You’ve already had a few defining moments today. What you choose from now on… it’s up to you. But now, I hope that you are conscious of every decision you make.

Well… in our case. Metronet’s shareholders were also its principal suppliers. Con 2 c*jones… or with 2 eggs. Strong...
“Not for me.” Of course not. This is what some of you wrote to me yesterday. Your operator definitely did not price the contract as if KPI deductions did not exist. They definitely did not assume the client would pay every change at cost plus margin… once or twice a year. And your builder? Of course they brought people with real close-out experience. They know exactly where the records are. The test results. The as-builts. The approvals. The evidence the Independent Engineer needs before...
“That doesn’t apply to my case.” I hear this all the time. Different asset. Different contract. Different country. Different shareholders. Different problems. My project is special. Of course, it is. Even the air you breath is. Look. Assets, projects, SPV, your toilet, whatever… are not making you suffer or smell bad odours because of a completely unique problem. The details are different. The patterns are not. It is the same in sales. Selling something for $5 and selling something for...
