Wanting things to be different
It shouldn't be...
They should have...
I shouldn't have to...
I found myself caught in several complaints this week.
All rooted in the same idea - that things should be different than they are.
It makes me wonder why this thought is so intoxicating.
What promise does it hold?
That if things were different... I would be happier, more at ease, less burdened.
And in some sense it's true. If todays burdens were lifted - my outlook in the immediate would improve.
But then what?
The next things happens, and I'm back to square one.
Hoping and praying that... things would be different.
This is a letter to myself - reminding me that joy exists just beyond my expectations for how things should be.
Right, smack dab in the middle of an inconvenient reality.
A reality that invites ME to be different and invites ME to change.
Change how?
By letting go of my expectations.
By realizing what I am chasing isn't the same thing as the chase.
By accepting that I am being transformed by the journey - and that is enough.
Being in the game is enough.
Just make sure it's the right game.
Already feeling lighter as I type this...

The most exclusive membership in property management is CRANE™. Why? Because it's members are asked to shift their priorities. No, there's no secret handshake or midnight initiation ceremony. But there is a very clear ask of it's members that is radically juxtaposed against what 99% of the industry is focused on. ----- Before I dive further into the rise of Crane and why it's upending norms in our space I want to park on the central premise of Crane - time freedom. Most business owners never...
This was a wild ride. Imagine growing to over 20,000 doors and then staring liquidation in the face. RW was sold to GA Technologies earlier this year for $8M after going public in 2022 via a SPAC that gave them the ticker symbol SFR. The rise, fall and rebirth of Renters Warehouse is a truly wild ride and I cannot thank Kevin Ortner enough for the courage and candor of breaking it all down. This interview is special for me for a couple reasons: Brenton Hayden, the founder of RW was the first...
Guys... we're back at it again. We're about to release another piece of original research and I could not be more stoked as it generated a TON of actionable insight.
