About the lessons
These are the posts where I look back instead of forward. Building a remote workforce company teaches fast, and mostly through mistakes, so I write them down while they are fresh: a hire that did not work out, a process that looked clever and broke in week two, a decision I would reverse.
I try to be specific about the situation, what I expected, what actually happened and what changed afterwards. If a lesson only makes sense with context, I give the context. If I am not sure it generalises, I say so.
If you are a founder weighing remote hiring, or a virtual assistant deciding where to work, you should come away with something you can test in your own situation, not a slogan.
