This week Bob and Hilary step back and ask the big questions: what do the new developers who actually succeed do differently from the ones who stall?

It comes down to six habits.
1. They get properly educated, so it is never a gamble.

2. They ask better questions and spot the pearl inside the oyster, and the way Bob once read a planning change to turn a four townhouse site into six.

3. They stop waiting to be ready, because the ducks only line up after you start. 

4. They lean on their support and use it fully.

5. They treat the first project as a learning vehicle, not something to wing.

6. And they build confidence through action, not before it.

Structure, support and action. That is the whole episode in three words.
