Self Storage Meme of the day -


Final Thoughts -
As you know im a big believer in mentors ... I pay around £100,000 a year to better myself, my business and ultimately make more profit
One of my mentors, really made me think today andd to be fair I think he has a point
He said that I give too much information away (dont worry, ive checked and he doesnt subscribe to the newsletter haha).
Especially regarding the acquisition ... Also another person I look up to in the self storage industry actually rang me and said the same
To be fair, after he explained I understood completely.
The mentor suggested that if I talked about the acquisition in regards, price, terms, money and what im going to do to improve the business it will discourage other people in the industry to sell me their site.
I totally get this and if im honest im slightly embarrassed that I have given so much information away ... I just get excited and want to share
I will still continue to share but my next acquisition I wont be telling people the details or price, payment terms etc
We live and learn :-)
Im pretty sure this wont be the only mistake I own up to in this email :-)
