We’re excited to dive into Part 2 of our conversation with Joe where he recounted his successful transition from a single-family business to the self-storage industry, highlighting scalability and management ease as key motivators. Despite initial challenges, this shift allowed him to streamline his operations and reduce his team size significantly. He pointed out the fragmented nature of the self-storage market, predominantly occupied by mom-and-pop operations, and how he applied innovative marketing strategies from his previous experience to improve performance.
Mike shared his own journey of moving from independent property management to hiring professionals, leading to increased profits. They discussed the mixed landscape of self-storage, with some markets overbuilt and others lacking facilities, emphasizing the need for awareness of local competition. Their conversation also touched on the crucial role of coaching in overcoming self-doubt and unlocking potential, as Joe highlighted his approach to guiding clients in their real estate journeys.
