How Willing Are You To Be Free
Notes from the margin –
How willing are you?
Whose Measuring Tape Are You Using?
The over the top and amazing Dr. J had the best take on measuring himself as it related to the sport of basketball success.
It went something like – no one challenges me more than me – my goal everyday is to improve the basketball player than I was yesterday. I’m sure I have the real quote all kinds of wrong but hopefully you get the point.
His measuring tape was him. And, his tell is still being played out on highlight reels today. Okay – they are digitized, tagged with keywords and other meaningful meta data so they are now streamed, searchable and sharable.
Quick Point
Your measuring tape should gauge you against your own best self and leave the noise behind.

We Don’t Want to Change
Not until you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. It’s after that time that you will get off your loaf and do something.
BS Moment

– your lackluster leasing persons who you became friends with?
– you inability to forecast
– your eye for detail
– your avoidance of conflict
– your tolerance mediocrity
– your level of respect for those that work with and for you
– your understanding that life is one big fat education occurring around you every moment of the day
– your recognizing that the stuff you dislike in others is likely the very set of things you need to work on most
– your ability to adapt
– your willingness to relentlessly amplify the positive
– Your Resistance to Change?

Amplifying the Negative
How often do you let this happen? You amplify all that is bad and allow the price to be all the good. You let that one bad remark onapartment ratings blow your whole week. That is despite the sum twenty-three and a half fantastic interactions you had. We all do it.
What Will You Do About It
Question is – want will you do to amplify the positive while putting the negative in its place? Remember this tidbit – negative remarks come in the way of an event – a moment in time. And, a moment does not define you. You are rather the sum total of all your thoughts, ideas and actions. So – amplify the good. Acknowledge the negative feedback and move on.
Your no dwelling on the negative Multifamily maniac,
