Multifamily #Trust30: Misunderstood
Day 30 of the #Trust30 challenge
Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we roll across the finish line; I feel a sense of discipline having set in. I find myself looking forward to sitting down at the keyboard to punch out a few words before I get my day started or to put a nice end cap on it before I lay to sleep. Either way it’s been a great way to recall some memories, formulate some new business and life strategies and dream a little to top it off.
Multifamily Challenge
Many are misunderstood in this world, even the simpletons. I think the message central to every prompt along this thirty day journey has been to be your best and authentic self in light of the difficult circumstances that crop up from time to time. Context and content are teachers that build character. And character fuels your emotional fortitude so that you might when adversities strike. And, they will strike, to be sure.
In parting – my encouragement to each of you is to partake in your own #trust30 challenge be it this or one of personal prompting. Do something that gives cause for you to write everyday for thirty days straight. Do it on or offline as it’s not the platform that matters but rather the person(s) you further along their given line in this life. And, don’t be afraid to be misunderstood –
Your wishing you the very best along the way contributor,

Multifamily #Trust30: Reversion
Day 29 of the #trust30 challenge…
I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Think of all the things that are not working in your life. That job you don’t like, that relationship that’s not working, those friends that annoy you. Now turn them all on you. Imagine that everything that’s not working in your life, is your fault. How would you approach it? What would you work on to change your life to the state that you want it to be?

Multifamily Reversion
It might be the hardest look you ever take at yourself. It’s that look that gives cause to admit a shortcoming or an outright failure.
My short answer to this question is higher the best people and do it quickly. Many times the shortcomings I experience are a result of my own willingness to take on more than I can handle without evaluating my capacity first.
What about you?
Your always striving contributor,

Multifamily: 101 Days of Marketing
As the #trust30 challenge winds down; we are gearing the next series of compelling content. The series will be dubbed 101 days of apartment marketing and will start July 3 when we wrap up #trust30. We were so inspired by the absolute discipline of the last series that we thought; why not try and continue the daily routine of writing.
#trust30’s concept of penning daily prompts lead us to search for something that would provide the same sort of direction. We looked at several lists and settled on @hubspot ‘s 101 Awesome Marketing Quotes .
Keeping in mind that multifamily professionals are busy; we intend to keep or offerings short in nature, hopefully 200 words or less. And, quick and to the point. Some will be conceptual while others will be real life examples from our journeys at Mills Properties [the sentiments aimed at those out there that believe content not backed by practical application or identifiable results is waste – we agree to disagree].
Nevertheless; we hope to make it fun. We hope to learn some things about ourselves and the community we have managed to attract over the years. And, we hope to conjure up some cool multifamily conversation.
Please feel free to comment where you see fit – good, bad or ugly. It all matters to us.

Multifamily #trust30: Peace
Day 28 of the #trust30 challenge…
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am going a little off prompt today.
I 100% that peace is an inside job and to the extent you can do away with the compare and contrast of the next guy/gal, car, house, job etc…; the more peace you will have.
Multifamily Social Media Land Grab
I can recall in the not to distant past where I became very very wrapped up in the social media land grab. It sent me into on of the most mentally tiring times I can recall. I threw principles like, discipline, patience and resource right out the window. I spent some very crazy hours posting, tweeting, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I learned a lot but I sacrificed a lot as well.
It’s in what I lost that I give advice related today’s quote.
Pace yourself and focus your attention on what you are and or what you are becoming as a result of where and with who you spend your time in lieu of dominating the platforms and tools.
I read somewhere that you become like the seven people you hang around most and the books you read. I am certain there are more things that influence you but these two are fairly fundamental. And, I believe the quote to be true. So, choose wisely.
Your doing a lot more to pace these days contributor,

Multifamily #trust30: Future Text
Day 27 of the #trust30 challenge. Getting close to the end; I think I will miss the daily exercise a bit…
Speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Imagine your future self, ie, you 10 years from now. If he/she were to send you a tweet or text message, 1) what would it say and 2) how would that transform your life or change something you’re doing, thinking, believing or saying today?

Multifamily Tomorrow
My tweet would be;
Listen attentively. You will be all the better for it.
That would give cause for me to listen more and speak less. Take more action and give less lip service.
Your listening attentively contributor,
M
