Chapter #4Forties by: Yote   You are Chris Steele, business tychoon. You are 43-years old and over the last 28 of those years you have managed to build a thriving construction company through a mixture of hard work and sheer ruthlessness, rising from the bottom to the lofty heights. You have ongoing contracts with clients all over the country, an employ of thousands and last quarter you recorded record profits.
