Tried to explain that to someone on the weekend. He's a hotelier/property developer in one of the most desired cities on earth. He seems to subscribe to the "if you build it, they will pay you" mentality. Might work in those industries but dealing with global economies is another ball game. Not trying to downplay any abilities in those industries but to me this is like expecting a journeyman professional baseball player to be the star of the NFL.
