The Marie Achebe Letter — one note a week on what is actually working.
Notes from building, written while it is happening rather than tidied up afterwards.
What gets written about
Property operations and the parts that go wrong. What a landlord actually responds to. Systems that survived contact with a real portfolio and the ones that did not. Teaching, and why most people who buy a course never finish it.
Why it is a log rather than a blog
A blog is written for an audience and a log is written for the record. These are the second kind. The useful posts tend to be the ones about a decision that turned out badly, and those do not make good marketing.
How often
When there is something worth saying. A weekly slot filled with something written to fill a weekly slot is how a journal stops being worth reading.
At a glance
- Written while it happens Not tidied up afterwards.
- Operations, not theory What a real portfolio actually does.
- Including the failures The useful posts are usually those.
- No fixed schedule Published when there is something worth saying.
