The boss leans on his hands, glares down the table at me and says, “I want a full construction supervision team in Dalian, China in three weeks. I don’t want to hear how far it is. I don’t want to hear how complicated it is. Go and look for movers. There are movers that will move you anywhere. China is a piece of cake for them. Everyone is moving to China. There are movers out there who specialize in China. Go!”

I stumble from the room hardly able to believe what’s going on. Where should I start looking for movers to get us to China? There is another question as well: where am I going to find a construction supervision team who are willing to move to China, even if I can find the movers? The whole thing sounds like one big impossibility. But even impossibilities happen. I placed a single ad in the local papers and put together a supervision crew. Then I placed another ad for movers to China and I was flooded out with phone calls. There is always someone who is willing to undertake a job, no matter how impossible it sounds.
