Multifamily Podcast Network

Hello apartment friends – it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined Podcast. I know it’s been a minute or two but thanks for joining me back here. Great news I have two awesome interviews that will be released over the next four weeks. I can’t promise any consistency but I’m trying to get my mojo back.

So it’s been on my mind for a while that we need a mid-year check in but as you can see I missed that deadline by a long shot. Oh well we are still calling it a mid-year check in. I realized it when most of my managers were headed off to budget camp in July and then again when my attorney said he was headed off on vacation to clear his mind and prep for a big second half of the year. Maybe we all need to do that – some type of retreat to reset the button for the rest of the year. Subconsciously I think I did that in July – we had the most fun – week after week I would just pass through the house to exchange dirty clothes for clean ones. My kids even did it and thought that it was the funniest thing. One trip to the next – people around thought we were crazy but to us it felt like we were living our best life. See I hate when summer ends and my kids go back to school. Sure there is a quieter house and now living on the lake it eases the pain a bit but dang I love seeing their faces all day and the opportunity to eat lunch with them or watch them on the lake from my office window. My mommy heart hurts when all that goes away. So that’s where were we are – back in school and now ready to crush the rest of the year with intention. 

As I was thinking through getting this written and launched out to the apartment world I realized the message was kind of all around me.  And then someone shared with me it was time to get “UNSTUCK” – see that’s where I have been sitting – Stuck/Stagnant. Living on the hamster wheel practicing the art of insanity. I think I was getting real good at it until Craig Carter snapped me out of it. (That’s my pastor…) See we all need to have someone speak truth into our lives. Often in our industry we are around a lot of people that love us but they are scared to speak with us honestly – even out of love. We need people to challenge us and push us to grow…
