So many people want to get into AirBnB but the hard work is what can make your business successful.

So much goes into the journey from customer service to working with landlords to manage repairs.

But you have to manage multiple things if you want to get into AirBnB as a business owner.

As a business owner, you must listen more than you talk.

One thing that I have learned in my AirBnB business is to listen more to my customers.

They will tell me exactly what they need and how I can provide it for them.

My goal is to predict what they need so that they can feel comfortable in my units.

In your business, as a best practice, listen more than you talk.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of taking care of yourself.

Too often, business owners spend so much time managing their businesses that they do not take the time to take care of themselves.

It is important to take time away so that you can regroup and then come back to your business with fresh ideas.

In this episode, I talk about why it is important to be creative in your AirBnB business.

Lots of people think that what worked last year would work this year.

You have to get creative on your design and your marketing so that you can reach out to new and prospective AirBnB customers

In this episode, I talk about the benefits of getting rest and how it can help you to tackle common problems with ease. Please note that rest is something that we need more of. This weekend, I had a chance to get more rest and I was able to unwind and recharge for the new week.

In this episode, I discuss the travel nursing boom and what it means to AirBnB hosts right now.

Often times, these nurses want to come and stay in your unit but if they plan to be in the area for 3 months or longer, the question is: Will you be able to house them?

In this episode, I discuss the idea of adding digital products (e-Book, planners, courses, coaching opportunities) to your AirBnB portfolio.

Your guests, friends, or family members may be future AirBnB hosts so it is important for you to be searchable on social media and creating great content around your products.

Do not pitch your guests on your products. Have them available online in your bio link for easy access.

In this episode, I discuss the power of following other AirBnB and real estate gurus to level up in the real estate game. Lots of people are getting into real estate and they do not know what it really takes to be successful. This is why you need to enlist mentors that can help you as you grow on this journey.

In this episode, I talk about customer service. Please note that AirBnB is a customer service business and if you do not like working with customers, then this is the wrong business to be in. I have seen a lot in this business from 4am calls about being displaced to the coffee maker not working. I have even been given a 3 by a customer (who is also a host) just because the customer did not like the unit. If you have thin skin, this business will wear you out. Take every guest complaint with a grain of salt.

Recently, I had a customer who stayed in my unit and the complaint was that the coffee maker overflowed somehow. I wasn't sure on how it happened by I did see the pictures. In my effort to get that 5 starr rating, I went to WalMart and got a new coffee maker. I also picked up so extra towels for the guests even though I already have plenty of towels. I dropped them off on the outside of the unit and sent a message that a new coffee maker was outside of the unit along with extra towels.

The customer was shocked that I went through all of that trouble just to get another coffeemaker. This is my business and customer reviews help me to continue to rent out my units.

My reward: A 5 star rating from the customer

In today's episode, I discuss the fact that I saw the Barbie movie this evening and I give it 100 out of 100 points. It was absolutely amazing to see all of the Barbies and their professions and everything that they could achieve as a team. But it was empowering to see that Barbie wanted to be more than what she was...which was a stereotypical Barbie doll.

Lots of people have dreams of business ownership but just don't know how to get started. We should always empower those around us to be greater especially if they have a desire to be greater.
