Leadership
Accomplished
I am walking my way through the gigantic book that Seth Godin put out via the Kickstarter platform – page 9 of 800+/-. It’s a monster of a book. Let’s just say, it adds a whole new meaning to the idiom; throw the book at someone. It would level even the strongest among us. The entry I read tonight talked about being done.
Accomplished
Are we ever done in the property management business? I can’t tell you the last time my inbox was at zero or my to do list was fully accomplished. Or, that my site-visits were 100% done. Or, my apartment budgets were 100% complete. Or, my media company projects were all accomplished. But, what if I could say that? What would I do?
I think the short answer is – teach, train, coach and mentor. Read: lead the horse to the troth and teach him how to drink. Or, teach a person how to fish, if you prefer that well stated analogy. I would get back to the thing that I love the most about this business – exciting, encouraging and inspiring people.
Why Don’t I
The otherwise obvious follow-up to that bit of knowledge is – why don’t I?
Property management is a crazy world of nonstop fun and excitement. Never a dull moment. And, one day rarely looks like the day before or the day to come. In all fairness, like any other business in the world. Many times we are reacting where responding would be the much preferred alternative. It’s the nature of the beast – as they say.
That is my cop-out answer. My way of shirking responsibility.
The real answer – I don’t know but I am considering the ways to get relentlessly committed to getting back to what I love.
Your looking forward to accomplishing some people building multifamily maniac,

Multifamily Marketing on Trial
2013 is not the year to protect your posterior. It’s not the year to crawl in a hole hoping that all this massive and swift moving change will just pass you by. It’s not the year to play it safe. Don’t be a politician. Don’t get stalled by this party or that party or this ideology or that ideology.
On Trial
Be that guy or gal that politely listens to all the noise – filtering always. Be that guy or gal that acts when the silence comes. Acknowledge the conversation but run in the opposite direction of the crowd.
That idea you’ve harbored for the past 2 months, 4 months, year or 15 years (that’s me) – go for it. Try it. Don’t ask for permission. If the stresses of other people pump your heat instead the OMG – I could get canned for this moments, then do us all a favor and stay in bed this morning.
Cheating Two People
When you are not conducting trials you are cheating two people: 1. You are cheating me out of being exposed to something that might change my life. 2. You cheat you out of being a better you. It’s #gameon time.
Your never want to cheat myself out of being a better me multifamily manic,

How Willing Are You To Be Free
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
As we embark on another year of doing what we love – maximizing relationships as it relates to getting amazing things done in the Multifamily space – what will you finally muster the courage to change?
– yourself
– 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?
Your champion of change Multifamily Maniac,

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,
M
