Project L What I Think

42: Every project will be three times harder, take three times longer and cost three times more than first expected

This piece of wisdom which I originally thought of as complete crap is actually very true. Uttered by a very successful property developer came my way during a regular WiP meeting many moons ago. It wasn’t until I started my own business did I realise how true these words were.

Appreciating this phrase at the outset of any large-scale project gives added perspective and prevents giving up when things start to get harder, cost more and take longer.
