Send us Fan Mail Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the multifamily streamlined podcast! So last week we talked about it’s not you it’s me and taking a better look at us being the communication gap or the issue in the frustration equation. If that’s the case we need to take a look at ourselves and how we are making us a priority. If we are not showing up as the best version of ours...

Send us Fan Mail Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Two weeks ago I mentioned we would unpack that BIG #4 topic - Looking inward vs. outward. Self serving self giving and self entitled. We get frustrated with people and their short comings or mistakes but what does that really say about us.  Make decisions based on what others want. Don’t die on...

Send us Fan Mail Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Well I missed last week and this one will again be a food for thought quickie but shoot me a note and let me know if you like the short Podcast - meaning under 10 minutes.

Send us Fan Mail Hello apartment friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. This one will be short and sweet. In an effort to find consistency with posting you will occasionally see short nuggets of a podcast. Things I think that are relevant or need to be said. Perhaps I am just the person that needs to hear it or maybe it’s validation that I am not the only one strug...

Send us Fan Mail Perhaps this episode will be surprise and disappoint but a few months ago I had a conversation with someone I don’t know well and they stumbled upon this podcast. They shared with me how much they loved it and I wasn’t sure how sincere that really was but the conversation continued. It was what I needed to hear that week and my take away was a good one… these are things most of us...

Send us Fan Mail I want to share a little snip-it from some recent soul searching. While this won’t come as a surprise for most of you - for me it is ALWAYS going to be about people. I mean ALWAYS - I can’t think of a scenario that wouldn’t ring true for me. While I won’t fall on my sword for my absence nor will I promise to be here every Tuesday I know this experience needed to happen before I co...

Send us Fan Mail Recently I was reminded of a hard lesson and thought it was worth sharing. Perhaps I can save someone pain and maybe embarrassment perhaps better explained as self disappointment. There are ALWAYS going to be things we do not like doing. And those tasks are the ones that we typically put off to the last minute which creates stress and unwelcomed drama. At least for me. I often say...

Send us Fan Mail For the first time ever I have added layers to my word of the year. As I plan for 2021 and the future as outlined in my goals I knew this would be the FOUNDATION for things to come and it would come with sacrifice and from that my two additional words were formed to help me stay focused on my word of the year. Because this year is more strategic than ever for me personally and pro...

Send us Fan Mail Good things are coming  Did you hear me? Good things are coming. YES! Good things are coming. What if that was our mantra for 2021? I often hear the hardest winter brings the most beautiful spring. Or the peace that comes after a storm. While 2020 might not be the year we hoped that doesn’t mean we can’t excel in 2021.  I believe this so much that I even have the t-shirt to prove...

Send us Fan Mail No More Excuses December 29th Episode 15 We talked about this during the episode of ‘There’s no Perfect Day to Start’ but it is time to get out of our own way. No more excuses.

We are 3 days from the new year and as much I would love to say when the clock strikes midnight all of the challenges of 2020 will go away we probably all know that it is not th...

Send us Fan Mail It’s time we discuss how to prep for a call.  I have a belief that it is not a call unless you provide an agenda. Have you been on one of those calls that goes rouge and last way longer than it should? YES, we all have and I bet if you look back there wasn’t an agenda for the call so it got off track and sideways. This can be prevented! Save yourself some time and look like the ro...

Send us Fan Mail I’m not a big fan of living the “what if” scenario but I think for so long that had a negative connotation for me but I have found myself saying that so much lately to my teams. What if we did this or what if we looked at it this way? My “what if” has changed to a positive. Not a living in a missed opportunity role but a new perspective in an effort to put our best foot forward an...

Maybe more than ever you are relying on that sweet little magic button, that provides privacy, from the reality you are living and the actual call you are...
