Back to School – What are you doing to Grow?
With children going back to school – its a good time to “get back to working on ourselves and our businesses”. Summer vacations and long weekends are over and its time to focus on the goals you set for yourself at the begining of the year.
What are you doing to improve yourself now?
I like to look back at goals I set at the begining of the year and make adjustments so I can hit my goals. Additionally, I will read a good non-fiction book on a topic that will help me move my professional life forward. I just re-read Mastering the Rockefeller Habits by Verne Harnish and read the Highest Calling by Larry Janesky. When I read these books I take notes in the back of the book of actions I want to take and the page number so I can easily refer back. For the Rockefeller Habits – I am doing more frequent meetings with my team to get them aligned on goals. Additioanlly, I went thru each position and looked at the critical #s or Key Performance Indicators for that role and discussed with each employee so they know how what they are responsible for and how we measure success. For the Highest Calling – It helped me take another look at the marketing we are doing, lowering cost of purchasing materials for our business through supplier relationships and a system for keeping daily updates on larger projects with pictures and narratives so the office team knows what’s happening in the field and for greater accountability.
I hope you “take a class” and learn something this fall. Enjoy learning!

If you are looking to start a management business in preparation for the next business down cycle (recession) you came to the right place. The reason I wrote this book and created this companion website with downloadable forms was a direct result of construction, architects and realtors that wanted to have a recurring income stream. […]
People get into property management for many reasons. There is the recurring income, for some it is working with people, for others it is the ability to get out of the office and help onsite. But the hang up for some is they don’t like accounting, so what are you to do? When starting […]
The average business cycle is 61 months long going back to 1950. We are much farther along at 106 months we are in the 2nd longest business recovery in US history. When recessions come along real estate sales drop and construction activity drops along with related professions and the general economy. One thing that doesn’t […]
