Our industry is prided upon for being highly responsive and constantly available. Sometimes, it can feel like a race to be the first to respond to a request. Other times, it can feel like we just can’t keep up with everything. 

… That’s where it’s easy to start overworking and putting in extra hours. 

Don’t get me wrong, some weeks in property management will require extra time in the office. 

However, too many managers are making this their norm. 

Tune in as we unpack the mindset shift you need in order to take back control of your hours in the office.

People are often afraid to take a title demotion because they feel it will hurt their career. They may worry that they won't be taken seriously or that they will no longer have the same opportunities. Some people may also feel like they are giving up on their career if they take a demotion.

What if all of that wasn’t true?

There are plenty of ways to climb the corporate ladder - and you don’t always have to go up. 

Title demotions aren’t always a sign of failure.

Sometimes, they’re a sign of bravery.

We’re often told to under promise and overdeliver. However, many property managers went from overdelivering into habitually overworking.

Many people are stuck in the mindset that the more time they put into a job, the more valuable they become. But, in many cases, overworking can actually reduce the quality of our work.

(Which, in turn, creates more work that we have to go back and fix!)

We can get caught in the trap of believing that if we work MORE and put in extra hours, that we increase our chances for raises and promotions; however, this is not true.

Over-delivering without overworking is possible by understanding and implementing a new mindset about productivity. Over-delivering is not about working yourself to death or completing every task imaginable; it is about communicating effectively with your employer and delivering results that matter.

We all have them—those pesky habits that we just can't seem to shake. They might be minor things, like scrolling on our phones longer than intended, or bigger issues, like consistently sacrificing sleep for Netflix. 

The problem with bad habits is that they rob us of time and energy. And, when we’re tired and exhausted, we tend to rely on bad habits to make us feel better (think scrolling on Instagram, unnecessarily spending money or overeating). 

No matter what the habit is, it's frustrating when we can't seem to break it. But don't worry, you're not alone. This week, we’re going to do a deep dive into why we tend to hit the easy button from time to time.

The holidays can be a stressful time of year. Between work events, property events and family events, there are so many places you have to be all at once, which can really cut down on the time you have to rest and relax.  

Because of all the hustle, it can be easy to fall into some unhelpful habits (ex: overscrolling, overeating, overspending). 

Today's episode is a brief celebration of year over year growth. I talk about how I used to use food to numb the holiday stress - and how good it feels to have learned that's what I was doing. 

I'd love for you to consider for yourself: What habit of yours would you like to let go of this holiday season? If you did, how would it help you connect with your famliy, your friends, your coworkers and yourself more authentically this year?

Listen in to this week’s episode to hear what we all need to be doing for each other.

Property management can be a difficult and challenging field. There are many complexities that come with managing a property, from dealing with tenants to maintaining the property itself. In addition, property managers often have to deal with strict regulations and laws. 

As a result, it is essential for property managers to be able to advocate for themselves and their needs. This can be a difficult task, as property managers may feel like they are constantly being pulled in different directions. 

However, by taking the time to identify your needs and understand the steps necessary to ask for what they need, you can learn how to effectively advocate for yourself.

At no point were we taught how to construct a vision for what we really want in our lives. We're encouraged to go to school, get a good job, and work our way up the corporate ladder. But what if that's not what we really want? What if we want something different? Property management can be a great career choice for people who are looking for something different. It's a fast-paced and ever-changing industry, and there's always something new to learn. 

However, property management can also be a very demanding job, requiring long hours and often causing stress. If you are considering a career in property management, it is important to first take the time to construct a vision for yourself. What kind of life do you want to lead? What kind of property do you want to manage? What does work-life balance look like for you? 

Without answers to these questions, it’s too easy to fall into the trap of overworking. 

Listen to find out how and why you should get clear on what you want.
