A longtime cobber contacted me this morning to let me know about a story of some of the Aussies doing roaring business in Japan; a market that can be tough to crack. I’m not a businessperson, or even remotely entrepreneurial, but I’ve had the pleasure to get to know plenty of Aussies in Japan who…
Japan has become pretty much synonymous with high quality construction, but that didn’t prove to be in what was supposed to be a star project in Melbourne but ended up being more of a black hole.
