Storage Wins EP46: The Magic You Want Is in the Work You're Avoiding
Let's be honest—you probably already know what you need to do to land your first self-storage deal. But if you're stuck, it's likely because you're avoiding it. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on our Storage Wins community's recent holiday reset call, where we uncovered the uncomfortable truth: the breakthrough you're waiting for is often hidden in the work you've been avoiding.
I share the powerful reflections, struggles, and wins from real community members—people just like you—who are pushing past fear, building momentum, and staying consistent even when it's hard. You'll hear real stories of mindset breakthroughs, alternative ways to connect with storage owners (if cold calling isn't your thing), and practical systems for staying focused and intentional. This episode is packed with gold—and could be the mindset shift you need to finally start taking massive, imperfect action.
