Today's episode is from Mobile Home Park #21 that originally aired on Aug. 8, 2016. Charles and I will discuss mistake number 10 from our popular eBook, “The 21 Biggest Mistakes Investors Make When purchasing their First Mobile Home Park…and how to avoid them.” We have all heard the phrase, “Use the seller's numbers” time and time again. This works great when you notice a seller is paying twice as much as they should for management or when your seller is paying for a utility you plan to pass through. However, this can quickly go awry when talking about repairs and maintenance, especially when the numbers are understated.     Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth. Join the Club!

When the economy gets rocky, smart businesses don't panic—they prepare. They focus on what really matters, streamline what they can, and make sure they're flexible enough to weather the storm. In this episode, we're borrowing that same mindset and translating it into the way we think about our own self-care routines and health habits. Because whether it's travel, stress, a challenging diagnosis, or just a really busy season, life will test your systems.We'll explore six ways businesses recession-proof themselves—and translate them into strategies you can use to build more resilience into your own routines. Not to control every variable, but to stay steady when things get wobbly.Key TakeawaysIdentify your non-negotiables--the routines, supports, and boundaries that keep you grounded and functional.Once your essentials are clear, you can consciously pause or scale back the “nice-to-haves” without guilt. This prevents burnout and preserves energy for what really matters.Don't rely on just one strategy. Have multiple ways to meet your needs so you're not derailed by a single point of failure.Build your reserves--whether it's food in the freezer, margin in your calendar, or emotional stamina. In a pinch, shift from growth to resilience mode. Maintenance is a win when your capacity is limited.Strengthen your relationships with the people, tools, and systems that support your follow-through. Don't wait until things get rocky to realize how much you depend on those connections. Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ryan is the Environmental Manager for the City of Roseville in Minnesota and is my favorite storm water and water resources guru. Ryan joins me in this episode to talk about the underappreciated role of making sure that private stormwater BMP's are properly maintained. I know, exciting! But it is. And it is certainly very important for the overall efficiency of the public stormwater system as well. Enjoy!AI Generated Description:Private stormwater device maintenance is vital to the overall operation of municipal stormwater systems, especially for meeting retention and treatment goals. Ryan Johnson shares his expertise as Roseville's Environmental Manager on managing these often-overlooked infrastructure components.• Ryan's background includes working with Ramsey County on residential BMPs and critical area stabilizations before joining Roseville• Roseville faces unique challenges as a first-ring suburb built in the 50s-60s with limited stormwater planning• Private property BMPs are essential when municipalities can't handle all stormwater management alone• Maintenance of underground chambers requires regular inspection and cleaning of pretreatment structures• Proactive maintenance is far more cost-effective than emergency repairs or city enforcement• Roseville created a comprehensive program with maintenance agreements, plans, and code enforcement• Property owner education is crucial as many don't realize they have stormwater infrastructure• The city can perform abatements when property owners fail to maintain their systems• Success stories include both the property owner who immediately took action and challenging sites requiring enforcement• Future plans include potentially offering inspection services similar to private hydrant programsContact your local municipal stormwater team if you're uncertain about the maintenance requirements for stormwater infrastructure on your property.

This episode explores why maintenance tasks, despite their fundamental importance, are often neglected or deprioritised in our daily lives and professional work. It delves into the psychological biases that make consistent maintenance challenging, such as hyperbolic discounting, where immediate gratification is valued over future gains, and the construal level theory, which highlights how psychological distance makes preventative work less impactful. The concept of the "maintenance paradox" is introduced, explaining that when maintenance is done well, its benefits go unnoticed, diminishing the sense of reward. The episode encourages listeners to adopt a maintenance mindset, making these tasks a standard habit rather than relying on typical prioritisation structures, as they are crucial for enhancing the quality of overall experiences and preventing future, more urgent problems.People tend to discount future gains or devalue them relative to immediate gratification, a concept known as hyperbolic discounting. This means a dollar now is generally more appealing than a dollar tomorrow, or even two dollars tomorrow.Many important tasks, whether changing guitar strings, making your bed, clearing email backlogs, or improving a development environment (often termed "tech debt" in a professional context), are easily put off because they seem like low priority in the moment.The "maintenance paradox" illustrates that when maintenance is performed correctly, its positive effects are often invisible because it prevents negative outcomes that are never experienced. This lack of visible benefit means there's no immediate "dopamine rush" or gratification from consistent maintenance.Construal level theory explains why maintenance is difficult by highlighting different forms of psychological distance.Temporal distance relates to the future value of maintenance being less immediate.Spatial distance suggests tasks further away (e.g., in an attic) are more likely to be in disrepair.Social distance refers to maintenance affecting others more than oneself, reducing direct personal impact.Hypothetical distance is particularly relevant for maintenance, as preventing a problem means never experiencing the potential downside, making the value of the preventative work hard to assess or feel. This contrasts with reactive work, where real losses are visible, making it seem more urgent and higher priority.A "bad cycle" can be created by the dopamine rush experienced when allowing things to pile up and then finally cleaning or fixing them, which inadvertently trains individuals that it's acceptable to delay maintenance. The marginal benefit of immediate action doesn't provide enough immediate gratification compared to the larger reward of eventual relief.To counteract these biases, maintenance must become a standard practice or habit. Adopting a "maintenance mindset" means understanding that these tasks enhance the quality of other experiences, such as making a bed to create a calm environment or applying sunscreen to prevent future pain.Maintenance tasks often fall into the "important but not urgent" quadrant of the Eisenhower matrix, but they only become urgent when the disrepair is overwhelming, like guitar strings breaking on stage. It is vital to integrate these behaviours into daily routines rather than relying solely on typical prioritisation structures.The podcast itself can be seen as a form of "maintenance behaviour" for one's career and professional life.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   Do you know what's quietly stealing your joy, keeping you small, and making sure everyone else's needs come first, while yours barely make the list? Being low maintenance. Yep, I said it.   Somewhere along the way, we got the message: don't ask for much, don't rock the boat, and definitely don't be “difficult.” But let's get real—that's not a virtue. That's a survival strategy we learned to keep the peace, and it's keeping us stuck.   Today, I'm calling it out. If you've ever said, “No worries, whatever works!” when it absolutely did not work, or if you've ever ignored that little voice in your head telling you what you actually want, it's time to break free. You're not “too much.” You're not “demanding.” You're a human with real wants and needs, and you deserve to own them, without apology.
