Daily checkins are essential for project success

Success requires relentless follow-up on every project component. Simply delegating tasks and waiting for completion guarantees failure. Instead, check in daily with everyone involved, demand progress updates, and proactively identify potential issues. When working with contractors, treat their work as your responsibility — their failure is your failure. The key mindset is zero excuses: act as if nothing in the universe can stop your project from succeeding. This means obsessive oversight and refusing to leave any room for error.
