Golden Nuggets:


  • “Know your strengths.”
  • “Hide your weaknesses; I don't mean hide, like sweep them under a rug and pretend like they don't exist. You hide your weaknesses by surrounding yourself with people whose strengths are your weaknesses.”
  • “Try to work with someone [designer] that has hosting experience or has at least experience with designing multiple short term rentals.
  • “Sometimes it's better to list than just wait until everything's perfect. I know, that's crazy. And maybe it's a little bit different now that new listings get such a boost. But I don't think anything is ever going to be perfect. And it's totally a balance.”
  • “If you're not able to compose and breathe and like, think of a professional way to respond, it's okay to step back and not respond immediately.”
