[ AJO Podcast ] Dan Martell: If You Have an Employee Like This, FIRE Them Immediately 

 

 

 

Dan Martell learned how to program at age 17 while in rehab. He traded one addiction for another—starting scalable, successful, profitable software companies. You might know him from his book Buy Back Your Time, where Dan shares the secret to building a business empire that frees you from the chains most solopreneurs and small business owners struggle to break. Today, he’s giving a masterclass on how to do just that.

After scaling multiple top-tier teams, Dan has identified the “cancer” behind a business environment that can erode your company and everything you’ve worked hard for. He gets into his exact strategy for hiring, firing, and promoting people on his team for the best results, and how to compensate others so they deliver their best work and grow your company—while you focus on your highest-value actions.

[ SSI Podcast ] How Much Does It Pay to Have a Cell Tower on Your Property?

 


How much does it pay to have a cell tower on your property? Most self storage owners don’t realize that cell tower leases can be extremely profitable. But they can also bind you to a long-term agreement that might not be in your best interest. How do you get the best of both worlds: an extra income stream plus a cell phone tower lease that gives YOU flexibility to sell, refinance, or develop your property? Hugh Odom from Vertical Consultants is here to help. 

Hugh has probably looked at more cell phone tower leases than anyone on the planet. He’s been helping storage facility owners get the best bang for their buck on cell tower space for years by negotiating contracts with tower companies and providers. Today, he shares how to get top dollar for your space, WITHOUT locking yourself into a bad lease.

68,019 facilities changed what we thought we knew
  Hey everyone, For years, we’ve had a problem in self storage that almost nobody talks about. We have a lot of industry data. We have quarterly earnings reports. Occupancy numbers. Street-rate reports. Cap-rate surveys. Construction forecasts. Transaction data. But there’s a catch: Most of the numbers we call “self storage industry data” have never actually measured the entire storage industry...
