Making strategic choices about professional development opportunities ensures you're growing your business rather than collecting unused notes or attending events that drain your resources without adequate return.• Assess whether conferences align with your current goals: seeking inspiration, accountability, connections, or specific content• Consider your implementation habits—do you actively use what you learn or file notes away never to be seen again?• Create an active implementation system like using your phone's reminders app to track and complete conference takeaways• Evaluate if you're attending for genuine value or just fear of missing out (FOMO)• Remember that even familiar content can provide new insights as you hear it in different stages of your business and life• Strategic rotation of conferences (attending major events every 2-3 years) can optimize your professional development• Your reception of content changes based on your current circumstances and mindset• Implementation is the true measure of a conference's value to your businessI'd love to hear your thoughts!

Send us a textI had the opportunity to chat with Malia Sharpe & Sam Pyne from On Tap Plumbing. The discussion was around critical responsibilities of property managers regarding work health and safety. This discussion is particularly relevant when engaging contractors for maintenance and repairs. The episode highlighted the importance of ensuring that contractors have the necessary licenses, insurance, and safety protocols in place. Key Responsibilities of Property ManagersProperty managers must ensure that contractors have the necessary licenses and insurance before engaging them for any work.It is crucial to confirm that contractors have appropriate safety protocols in place to mitigate risks associated with their work.These days, property managers are faced with a lot of challenges, one being pressure from landlords to find the cheapest provider. This can often lead to hiring less qualified contractors which poses significant risksProperty managers must strike a balance between cost-effectiveness and ensuring the safety of all parties involved. This involves pushing back against the pressure to choose cheaper options without proper vetting.Here are some important things for property managers to consider when handling maintenance:When onboarding contractors, property managers must be clear about the tasks involved and the qualifications required for those tasks.Knowing and ensuring that contractors hold the appropriate licenses for the job, such as plumbing or electrical tasks.Be aware of any additional training requirements, such as working at heights, especially if the job involves accessing roofs or elevated areas.If property managers are unsure about the necessary licenses for specific jobs, it is crucial to educate themselves about the requirements. Reaching out to reputable companies like On Tap Plumbing for guidance can be beneficial.The use of technology, such as the Tapi system, can help property managers track compliance and insurance documentation. This system alerts property managers if any documents are expired before issuing work orders, ensuring that all contractors meet safety requirements.Having a dedicated person in the office responsible for onboarding and maintaining contractor records is essential. This individual should regularly follow up on renewals and ensure that all documentation is up to date.Informing Contractors About Potential Risks: Effective communication between property managers and contractors is crucial.
