Harnessing the Power of the Law of Attraction
Say what you will about the Law of Attraction; the philosophy has some level of merit. I think it’s a close cousin to prayer and likely more well-received by the masses.
The law suggests that by focusing your thoughts on positive or negative outcomes, you can draw those experiences into your lives. Imagine the mind as a magnet, attracting circumstances that resonate with its current state.
Naysayers dismiss the Law of Attraction as wishful thinking, yet its proponents point to countless anecdotes of transformed lives. I believe the key is in the disciplined mental focus and emotional alignment with the outcomes you hope to achieve. Consider it a form of mental gardening: sow thoughts of prosperity and joy, and you will harvest the same. I love nature for its rich metaphors!
Roll up your sleeves as it is more than wishing or dreaming; it demands active visualization and a profound belief in the outcome. You have to believe in your ability belive. It brings to mind a verse in the bible – Mark 9:24
To effectively use this law, start by clearly visualizing your desired outcome. Engage all senses to make the experience as real as possible in your mind’s eye. Then, cultivate gratitude to remain vibrationally aligned with your desires.
Whether one views the Law of Attraction as a psychological tool or mystical energy, its potential impact on personal development is worth considering.

Rendering Works Held in Common
The concept of “rendering works held in common” is a principle often attributed to the open-source movement. It encourages the sharing of knowledge and resources, thereby multiplying innovation.
Imagine a world where every multifamily proptech innovation is built as a part of a communal portfolio for communal benefit. Here, individuals and organizations freely contribute to and benefit from a reservoir of shared intellectual property.
Legacy property management systems give up the lock on data, turning the pay-to-play model upside down.
This ethos accelerates technological advancement and fosters a sense of unity across the industry.
A rising sea lifts all boats.
Adopting this mindset could lead to a massive renaissance in multifamily, from Renttech to proptech to consumer and team (employee) research, where the free exchange of ideas blows the lid off of years of pent-up advancement.
We could leapfrog other industries.
The challenge lies in those who guard their creations.

May Reading List – Articles and Books
Articles
Don’t Just Memorize Your Next Presentation—Know It Cold by Sabina Nawaz. I didn’t get much out of this article, but it’s worth the time as a good refresher. NAA’s Apartmentalize is coming up, and I’m speaking on two panels. I found this article to be a good refresher.
Books
Rules For A Knight by Ethan Hawke – Contains sage stories from Eastern and Western philosophies. Its origin makes it well worth reading. I love Ethan Hawkes’s work, both visual and written. This book is GOLD.
Rocket Fuel – Gino Wickman and Mark C. Winters – This was a re-read for me as I’m doing a deep dive into the EOS system from the integrator perspective and going through the RocketFuel Integrator certification coursework.
Traction – Gino Wickman See note on the Rocket Fuel above.
One Nation Under Blackmail Part 1 and Part 2 – Whitney Webb – If true – a stunning history of corruption.
Self-Reliance and Other Essays – Ralph Waldo Emerson – This is a re-read. Emerson is a sage, and I feel mentally fed every time I read his work.
Clarity – Steve Cesari – I had the privilege of spending an hour plus/minus with Steve. I listened to the audiobook that he narrated the night before I met with him. He was very much the same human in person as he is in the book. At the end of the meeting, he was kind enough to gift me an autographed version.
Bluefishing – Steve Sims – I downloaded this book last year (2023). It sat there until recently when I was looking for something to listen to during a long run. I honestly just picked it randomly. But it was shockingly good! Bluefishing is the name of a company that creates amazing experiences for people. The book is a collection of stories about many of those experiences.
The Master Coach – Gregg Thompson – One of the best books I’ve read on business coaching. Up there with the Marshall Goldsmiths of the world!
Irreplaceable – Kevin Erivin Kelly – A must-read! An incredible book full of case studies and practical advice on designing/creating space that lends to community building. Every Multifamily Developer should read this book.
Acres of Diamonds—Russell Cromwell—I revisit this book frequently. It offers a simple perspective on finding opportunities.
How to be a Great Boss – Gino Wickman and Rene Boer – See not on Rocketfuel above. This book is part of the EOS library.
Creating the Intangible Enterprise—KP Reddy—I met KP six years ago at the Phoenix Best Places to Work Multifamily Conference. We shared a seat on the bus ride to hike up Camel Back Mountain. KP is a wealth of knowledge and a creative thinker. This book contains his thoughts on how AI will impact business models across industries.

Shed the Armor: The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership
I’ve seen it countless times: leaders lack vulnerability.
Question: How is that armor serving you?
Many believe showing vulnerability is a weakness.
They don their metaphorical armor, hoping to shield themselves from criticism and failure.
I encourage you to posit that your armor might hold you back and prevent genuine connections and growth.
I believe embracing vulnerability fosters authentic leadership and stronger team connections.
Transparency in leadership builds trust and resilience within your team.
Please reflect on your leadership style and consider shedding that armor to cultivate a more authentic and resilient team dynamic.
