Hey there,

This week, I'm excited to share some new resources with you - one of which really hits home. As you may already know, I was paralyzed seemingly out of nowhere sometime ago. At the time, things seemed hopeless. But truly that experience is the reason I am where I am today. If you are being held back by trauma, I urge you to watch my episode on how to overcome trauma and choose growth over giving up.

And on a lighter note, in this week's roundup, you'll also learn:

âś… What you need to do before we enter the storage busy season

âś… How to setup storage automation and run facilities remotely

[ AJO Podcast ] Trauma & Money: Choosing Growth Over Giving Up

 

 

Today, we’re talking about the “T-word”… trauma. Before you click away, this is not a downer episode. If you’ve been through trauma, big or small, you know how hard it is to bounce back. For me, without trauma, I wouldn’t have this podcast, my businesses, my wealth, my financial freedom, or much of the gratitude for life I take with me every single day.

Eight years ago, out of nowhere, I became paralyzed. My children, who were used to having a strong, stable father, now had a dad who couldn’t move, lying on a hospital bed with tubes running down my throat. I had two options: give up or give whatever I had left in me. I chose the latter.

Now, almost a decade later, I’m financially free, own multiple seven-figure businesses, and see life from a different angle. If your trauma is holding you back, keeping you from achieving great things, please hear me out in this episode. You’re not alone—I’m sharing everything that helped me move forward.

[ SSI Podcast ] Self Storage Seasonality - What to Do NOW Before "Busy Season"

 

 

We’re about to enter (if not already in) the “busy” season of self storage. People are moving, spring home buying is picking up, and you BETTER have units ready to lease at your facility—at the highest price possible. Jesse shares the data to look at before putting in a rent raise and how to “test” higher rents so you can keep the most high-paying customers.

We’re also talking about leads: how to get them at a low cost—or even for free—and which marketing services we use most to fill our pipeline with self storage renters. Plus, before paying a service six months’ rent to get a customer, calculate this CRUCIAL metric to see precisely how much you should pay per lead.

[ Article ] How to Automate Self Storage: Manage Facilities Remotely & Efficiently

 

 

Running a self storage facility used to mean being on-site, handling move-ins, collecting rent, dealing with maintenance, and answering every customer call. But thanks to modern tech, that model’s quickly becoming outdated. In this post, we’re breaking down how to automate your self storage business step by step.

That's it for this week - until next time!
