Joint Ventures

Joint ventures do not succeed if one of the partners treats the other merely as a "cash cow".

Brands

Brands do not build themselves.

Great Men

Great men tend to be narcissistic.

Over Prescriptive Governments

An over prescriptive government is a weak government, anxious to try to prove its machismo.

Health Obsession

The Western world's current obsession with healthy eating and "turning the clock back" is not at all healthy, it reveals a self obsessed fearful culture that refuses to accept the inevitability of ageing and change.

Missed Deadlines

Missed deadlines are a clear warning sign that something is amiss.

Beware dealing with people and organisations that cannot meet a deadline.

Politics

Success and failure in politics is determined by momentum.

Extended Guarantees

Extended guarantees are the rip off of the century. The companies that try to sell these worthless products know full well that they are not worth the outlay.

They should be treated with the comtempt that they deserve.

Deadlines

People and organisations that miss deadlines, miss opportunities.

Money

Money is not a self replicating product, large quantities of it can only be amassed by hard diligent work.

Those that try to say otherwise are indolent idiots.

Surprise

By definition everything is new, therefore why are we surprised by events?
