For anyone who is stuck in a long-term project, or just starting one, I’ve put together a list of advice that, in hindsight, I wish I knew from the get go.

Boutique hotel on Bequia island in the Grenadines, southern tail of the Caribbean. Make mirrors. Make chandeliers. Of course, there must be negotiations.

It’s rare when you get the time to just sit with your thoughts and do nothing else.
