Knowing the amount of rental apartments that are needed for those serving in the military—I wanted to share the article below~and the trends for this year. Interesting to read the sentence that says “the military will pay an estimated $20 billion in allowance for multi housing to 1 million service members next year.”?

Military’s multi housing Allowance Increases For 2012
http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/news/2011/12/15/militarys-housing-allowance-to.html

Your take on the article above? What percent of your top-line revenue in 2011 was tied to military multi housing rental residents? By comparison…what are you forecasting for 2012?

What kind of advertising are you doing…to attract those in the military?

=======

On February 9, 1996 I was fired for personal reasons from an executive position with a sales organization within the multifamily industry. For some, this day would be considered the day a large door was slammed shut. Instead, I will always remember this date as the day 1000 windows opened! On this day, my wife & I climbed a small hilltop near our home in Southern California & we planned our future for many hours. Using the principles of mind mapping, we created our written plan as we planned a new life for ourselves & for our family:

1. Spend more time together as a family.

2. Live in a world-class ski resort. And this is our 14th year living in Park City, Utah…at the base of 3 fantastic ski resorts.

3. Travel/vacation every month, during the months when we couldn’t ski.

4. Never travel for business.

5. Build a company to serve PM clients & sales vendors to the multifamily industry.

6. Live in a new country each year, for 4-6 months, once our 3 children are in college. Our oldest son is attending Wharton/UPenn as a junior, our daughter is a freshman at UPenn and our youngest son is in 11th grade, is 6’9″ and has big dreams about playing basketball in college.

As a result of planning our future in 1996, we have accomplished the first 5 goals above. As for our 6th goal, we have traveled to Austria, Canada [four times], Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France [twice], Germany, Greece, Ireland [twice], Italy [three times], Mexico, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom [three times] as part of our ongoing scouting/research trips. Each trip is an opportunity to meet wonderful new people [and our clients!], share a meal & experience their culture–as we continue the process of deciding which cities/countries we want to live in for extended periods of time. Yes—we are truly blessed as a family and each day is a celebration of these gifts.

But this article is not about our goals/dreams…it’s about yours! Listed below are the questions I would like you to consider about your goals/dreams as a PM leader:

1. Are you clear what your goals/dreams are? How will you know when you get there?

2. Do you have a written plan for your goals/dreams? Can you E-mail them to me, within 5 minutes of reading this article? Do your goals/dreams have a date of completion/achievement?

3. Do you have written goals/dreams both professionally & personally? Do you read/review your goals/dreams daily?

4. Have you shared your professional goals/dreams with your PM team? Have you seen/read theirs?

5. Have you shared your personal goals/dreams with your family? How do your goals/dreams align with those of your family?

6. What action steps have you taken this day/week/month to move you closer to your goals/dreams?

7. What is your genius work? {E-mail to ernest@powerhour.com requesting article #37} Are you honoring these principles on a daily basis?

8. What kind of learning/education investments are you making in yourself, so you can tap your talents, passions & values?

9. What will you be earning 5 & 10 years from today?

10. If you could live/work/play anywhere in the world, where would it be?

11. What kind of personal/professional legacy do you want others to remember you for?

12. Do you have a Personal Board Of Directors and/or a coach to help you reach your goals/dreams? {Send an E-mail to ernest@powerhour.com requesting article #14}

13. If you only had 30 days to live, what would you want to do that you have never made the time for?

Tip From The Coach: Remember, success is not a matter of luck, an accident of birth or a reward of chance. Success is a matter of decision, commitment, planning, preparation and execution. Success doesn’t come to you; you go to it!
