What Happened to WeWork? The True Story Behind 'WeCrashed

Recent highlights:

1. While you could rent a desk for as long or, crucially, as little as you liked, WeWork had to pay the whole rent for the space regardless — meaning the company began to bleed cash.

2. Neumann pitched WeWork as a movement and ran his company accordingly.

3. Despite broadcasting themselves as the next tech firm to shake up our lives, WeWork was actually an old school real-estate firm, which meant the huge cash injections they received didn't go as far as they would in the tech firms they were modelling themselves on, as they had all the IRL overheads of old-school landlords

How a 29-year-old who made $271,000 in 2021 with online freelance platforms like Fiverr scaled after quitting her job on a whim and without any savings

Quick summary:

1.  Aside from joining Fiverr Pro, other things that allowed her to scale her income were offering clients bundled deals, like four blog posts for the price of three, and additional fees for add-ons such as a 24-hour turnaround, additional edits, or promoting a blog post.

2.  I have worked on over 8,000 different orders on Fiverr, so the odds of stumbling across an irrational buyer who demands a refund or doesn't understand the Fiverr system is inevitable at times, Fasulo said.

3. The big jump in income happened when Fiverr invited her to join its then-beta program called Fiverr Pro in 2017

I Work for Myself—These Are The Productivity Hacks That Actually Help Me Get Work Done
