Summary
Welcome back to the Self Storage Income Podcast! Today we’re talking about scale and building self storage empires. A lot of the time when we start out or as we continue to build our businesses, we think we have an idea of how everything will play out and how we’ll get from point A to point B. As any of us know that have started or that are owning and operating any business, things rarely play out like we suspect them to. One of the biggest things we get wrong is just that, we ask how to get from point A to point B, when in reality, we should be asking ourselves how to get from point A to point Z. We fail to think bigger and successfully reverse engineer ourselves to that ultimate goal. We fail to build the foundations today that will continue to drive us forward both now and in the decades to come. Today, we wanted to help address these issues and to help set you all on the right path to scaling an empire. To do this, we break down and give an in depth overview of our four squared process of scale.
