In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.

Mon, July 24: Yes, that’s spam
If you send a message that a person didn’t ask for, that’s almost always spam.

Tue, July 25: Boundaries can create freedom
Boundaries can often feel restricting, but there are times when those restrictions can really help open things up.

Wed, July 26: Which one do you like?
If you develop something and ask a client “which one do you like?”, you’re very much on the wrong track.

Thu, July 27: Social norms versus market norms
“People are willing to work free, and they are willing to work for a reasonable wage; but offer them just a small payment and they will walk away.”

Fri, July 28: Simple solutions to weird problems
Sometimes weird problems can have very simple solutions if you just look at the problem slightly differently.

Sat, July 29: It’s the best for YOU
The best phone for me likely isn’t the best phone for you, and that’s ok.

I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
