Publishing 100 posts is a personal goal for the year. February’s themes include housing, homelessness, freelancing, and startups. I also tried a new approach to getting my ideas in writing.

Housing & Homelessness

As part of my work with New Story, I am building a real estate development company in Mexico. To assist in my learning and level up our team’s knowledge, I have started packaging up core concepts.

What is a Land Option?

Real Estate Development Process Overview

What Makes Housing Affordable and Adequate?

The Gap Between Homelessness and Adequate Housing

Lessons for Freelancer

I tried something different in February. The trend of writing about freelancing began with a Twitter thread highlighting my Top 10 Lessons for Freelancers. From there, I’ve been expounding upon each idea in a longer form post.

Using the constraint of 280 characters forced me to distill each concept down to the core point I was trying to make. Each proceeding post has allowed me to expound on the ideas by adding examples and context.

Freelances, Do the Math
