Today I had the honor of speaking with Charles McPike. Charles is a Forex trader and host, based out of Hollydale California area who operates 2 units that he’s acquired using rental arbitrage.
In this episode, Charles shares his experience of turning his life around through the power of positive affirmations by reprogramming his brain to think more positively, his fears and failures of starting a new business, and many practical tips to starting on the right foot.
Charles Listings:
1. Using positive affirmations can help you overcome negative self-talk.
2. Cut out television, radio, and times when you were listening to junk and instead listen to public speakers and educational books.
3. When feeling defeated tell yourself “I am unstoppable.”
4. Not every situation has to be an emergency.
5. Always be customer service oriented on both the guest and provider side because you never know when the service provider may be able to help you.
6. If a service provider says no, try calling again and speaking with a new provider.
7. Make a care package for when there is a negative experience for your guest instead of just giving a refund.
8. Using themes can help your unit stand out amongst the rest.
9. As soon as you get the keys to your unit, make sure you get the services and utilities set up.
