In this episode, I discuss ways to earn your customer's trust. Often times, those 5 star ratings are wrapped up in a customer's trust in their AirBnB host. It is important to look at trust as a determiner on whether customers will stay for just one night or rebook for many nights.

In this episode, I discuss short term and long term customers and the difference between the two.

It is important to decide on what you want so that you can cater to the audience and their needs.

I have had both types of customers and I have found that they are both unique in their own way. Your AirBnB units can have both types of customers but you must be clear on what you want for your customers and how to offer it to them.

In this episode, I discuss the idea of taking a break. One thing about AirBnB is that it takes time to get everything set up. But once you get everything situated, this would be the best time to take a short break. I used to spend a lot of time at my units but now, I delegate certain tasks to others and I only come to my unit when it is necessary. If you decide to become an AirBnB host, please note that breaks are mandatory and not optional.

In this episode, I discuss the importance of being firm on what you plan to charge your customers.

You will meet a lot of customers that want you to give them a discount. Do not do it.

You cannot get a discount from your bill collectors and you should not give customers a discount just because they asked for one.

Stand on what you plan to charge in your units.

In this episode, I discuss the Power of Prayer and the effect that it has had on my business.

I describe the Christmas surprise that rocked my business to the core and how I overcame it to continue running a successful business. "I thought you had four units" is what people have said. Well, I did have four units but now, I have two of them and the units are doing very well. It is so important to pray over your business as each customer review that you deal with can make or break your business. But only the strong will survive.

Being readily available in your AirBnB business can help you to get better reviews from customers and it can help you to act fast in the event of an emergency situation.

In this episode, I discuss setting your unit apart from other units by adding special items that will make your unit stand out. It is important to follow a theme (i.e. a horse theme) so that you can have different accents in the unit that will make it feel more like home. The more attractive that your unit it, the more likely that customers will want to stay in your unit.

In this episode, I discuss side hustles and how to look at them as a way to start your journey to passive income. AirBnB can be used as a side hustle if you learn how to automate your entire process so that you can still work your 9-5 job and bring in more income that can be used for vacations, savings, and retirement.

In this episode, I discuss my origin story and how it shaped me into becoming a resilient person and a business owner. Lots of people have an origin story. Even you have an origin story. Feel free to share your story and how it can truly help others.

This premiere episode discusses how I got started in AirBnB while working full time and some struggles that I encountered in my short term rental journey. It is important to have mentors in this process as it is the best way to get your questions answered so that you can continue growing as a business owner. The main goal of this episode is to show you small tidbits on how I went from baby steps to a full business owner with a fully automated business.
