Well we hit on some heavy topics a few weeks ago and I guess this week will be no different. Because I’ve been coasting lately on a wing and a prayer or perhaps better described as sliding in sideways there’s no road map for the podcast and I just find inspiration from my everyday life. Don’t worry that will change because Streamline now has a business support manager. More to come on that but you will see some shi...

Last week was a whirlwind. In an effort to be home with my family for more of the week I crammed 3 or 4 days of travel into 2 days and basically utilized the full 48 hours. At no point was I bragging but it honestly just came up in conversation. I flew to Atlanta and my driver which sounds fancy took me to Cherokee North Carolina to speak at a leadership event. We then drove back to Atlanta. Carlo has been driving me ar...

Well a few weeks we talked about being heard and not hiding behind something but it’s time to pivot slightly and get back to some of our apartment basics. It’s not secret that I still think 2023 is going to be a tough one operationally. I always say we are coming off an 18 month high of rent growth but the experts remind me it’s truly been a heck of a 10 years for our industry. But when we unpack that so many...

At the last minute I have decided to share the Daily Alignment from 68 Ventures that came out today. Take a listen at what they have to say along with Steve Keating on Human Speed Bumps.

Well I missed last week because I was traveling on a Monday and basically wasn’t prepared for life and now today I’m pretty sure I am not firing on all cylinders.

As 2022 comes to an end it only seems appropriate to take a moment to reflect on the year and prepare for the new year ahead. It’s funny I half wrote last weeks podcast and never finished it due to poor planning, travel, and prep for the holidays. Okay fine the last part is not exactly true.

So last week we talked about it’s not you it’s me and taking a better look at us being the communication gap or the issue in the frustration equation. If that’s the case we need to take a look at ourselves and how we are making us a priority. If we are not showing up as the best version of ourselves than what do we need to do to correct that?

Two weeks ago I mentioned we would unpack that BIG #4 topic - Looking inward vs. outward. Self serving self giving and self entitled. We get frustrated with people and their short comings or mistakes but what does that really say about us. Make decisions based on what others want. Don’t die on the hill of the carpet color. The pew vs. padded chairs. Who are you trying to reach. It’s not about us.Have you eve...

This one will be short and sweet. In an effort to find consistency with posting you will occasionally see short nuggets of a podcast. Things I think that are relevant or need to be said. Perhaps I am just the person that needs to hear it or maybe it’s validation that I am not the only one struggling with the issue. We shall see…So… I know we have talked about this before… Most of us live and die by...

2021-04-2810 minMultifamily Streamlined with Leslie MathisLessons Learned - The Dreaded ProjectSend us a textRecently I was reminded of a hard lesson and thought it was worth sharing. Perhaps I can save someone pain and maybe embarrassment perhaps better explained as self disappointment. There are ALWAYS going to be things we do not like doing. And those tasks are the ones that we typically put off to the last minute which creates stress and unwelcomed drama. At least for me. I often say that I create my own drama and it all stems from procrastination. I guess the first step is always acknowledging the issue. I bet...

As I plan for 2021 and the future as outlined in my goals I knew this would be the FOUNDATION for things to come and it would come with sacrifice and from that my two additional words were formed to help me stay focused on my word of the year. Because this year is more strategic than ever for me personally and professionally again for ME it was important to add these two additional components. I am sure they...

Good things are coming.What if that was our mantra for 2021? I often hear the hardest winter brings the most beautiful spring. Or the peace that comes after a storm.

I have a belief that it is not a call unless you provide an agenda. Have you been on one of those calls that goes rouge and last way longer than it should? YES, we all have and I bet if you look back there wasn’t an agenda for the call so it got off track and sideways. This can be prevented! Save yourself some time and look like the rockstar - create an agenda.

What if we did this or what if we looked at it this way? My “what if” has changed to a positive. Not a living in a missed opportunity role but a new perspective in an effort to put our best foot forward and deliver beyond expected results.

If the answer is no well it’s not too late. As our industry has grown abundantly the last few years - markets booming with new supply - value add projects underway - large cap ex projects - properties sold and/or transitioned to new management companies it is really easy to lose focus.
