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 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.

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...
I’m writing this from China… I’m here for a trade fair… well… two. Tiles. Kitchens. Bathrooms. Doors. Windows. As you know, I’m building my real estate empire on the side. 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. The boss has spoken. 1961 During the planning of the Bay of Pigs invasion Presidential adviser Arthur Schlesinger had serious reservations. He put objections in...
