I have pondered adding some quick video clips to this blog for a long bit of time.
So – here we go with the first installment. Feel free to toss fruit and vegetables.
And – as stated in the video – a hat tip to Mark Juleen for the inspiration.
Your hoping to get comfortable in front of the camera multifamily maniac,

Pick Me Pick Me
I have one for you – always pick yourself when it comes time to make something happen.
I think it is human nature for us to wait for someone to pick us. We wait around thinking that all that hard work we are doing will pay off in the way of more responsibility and more money. Dare I say, it borders on entitlement. We think that someone is taking special time out of their day to check out all the blood sweat and tears that we are giving to the organization.
Hear me on this – Not So.
Pick Yourself
There is an art about advancing yourself in the business world. That art does not include the pick me syndrome. It’s two parts hard work, three parts maneuvering, one part politicking and four parts pure unadulterated art. Art in the way of taking educated but unauthorized risks. Not the bet the farm type – although don’t rule those out. No – I am talking about the self-initiated projects that everyone knows needs to get done but no one else is willing to step up and do. Such as:
Setting up a blog
Setting up a Facebook page
Setting up a Twitter account
Challenging out-of-place legacy policy and procedures
Organizing a North County Leasing Consultant Summit
Learning everything about your local utility subsidies and applying it to your property
Starting a leadership book club for your fellow property managers
Pick Yourself Today
What are you going to start?
Your always looking for a good story to tell multifamily maniac,

Site Visit
One of the key truisms in property management, business and life in general is inspect what you expect. And you can’t do that without a good plan.
Visiting your sites is part of that plan. It is likely ‘the’ key to insuring that your standards and expectations are met over a long bit of time. You can never compromise on this point.
The minute you do is the minute you lose touch. And losing touch can be the kiss of death to a property.
Know Your Plan
To the point of today’s post – have your roadmap written out before you step onto the property. I’ve seen it happen too many times. If you don’t keep to an agenda – the conversation wanes. At best it picks up loose and random points that fail to move the business forward.
A written plan keeps you on track and insists that you hit the key points that drive results. Write it out the day before. Keep it in front of all parties during the meeting. Take notes on it. And use it as a way to track action items for the next meeting.
Your always have a roadmap Multifamily Maniac,
M
