Risk-return calibration

Solo-ing concurrent complex projects is naturally associated with risks ... perhaps 30% of projects will have negative returns, the next 50% will cover the costs of the first 30%, and remaining 20% provide positive net margins. So it is naturally associated with complaints and a volatile schedule. This sort of lifestyle/career is not compatible with people who :

- don't like project failure, and want to push negatively returning projects to below 30%, and sometimes 0% of their portfolios ( most people I meet are in this category )

- want to see their breakeven point come from less than 80% of the bottom projects of their portfolio ( as above )

- don't want to complain daily 

- don't want scheduling volatility 

I think people who don't complain exhibit low intelligence - which isn't to say they are unintelligent, they may simply be introverted about their intellectual lives.

Projects types I am working on these days : 

- social partners,
- charity cases
- manual skilling
- asset management
- technology R&D
- physical conditioning
- home economics
- business development
