I believe that almost everything can be viewed as a portfolio -- whether it's a set of products a single company decides to make, the schools and jobs and skills an individual invests in, and all kinds of life decisions.

The question is, how do we make sure that portfolio as a whole advances you toward your goals -- even though any individual decision within it is a win or loss?
