Mike Brewer
My mission is to tease out Human Potential in the Multifamily Space. Multifamily hinges on people, yet we fail to fully unleash their potential. Investing in coaching, training, and leadership unlocks peak performance. Engaged teams provide exceptional service, solve problems creatively, and innovate. A culture of growth attracts/retains top talent seeking purpose and mastery. Embracing development drives occupancy, reduces turnover, and boosts profits. When people thrive, so does business success. Nurture your driven individuals—the path to industry leadership starts there.

1,644 Maximize Your Productivity: Prioritizing Your Calendar for Success
I've discovered a tiny yet powerful truth that could change how you approach your time management.
Show me your calendar, and I'll reveal your true priorities. Dive into this transformative approach to ensure your time reflects your genuine values and goals.
In today's video, Mike Brewer from MultifamilyCollective.com looks into the philosophy that your calendar mirrors your true priorities in life.
This isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a principle Mike lives by, emphasizing the importance of regularly evaluating your commitments.
Whether quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, it's crucial to sift through your calendar entries to determine if they add value to your life or others.
Are you simply ticking boxes, or are your meetings and tasks contributing to your organization, personal growth, and the well-being of those around you?
Mike challenges us to scrutinize our routines and the "sacred cows" of our schedules.
He proposes an innovative exercise: let someone else review your calendar.
Grant them the liberty to question the purpose and value of each entry.
This external perspective can help you cut through the noise and identify what deserves your time.
As a call to action, Mike encourages viewers to schedule a time right after watching the video to review their calendar for the current year. Reflect on whether your upcoming commitments truly merit their place in your life.
Remember, effective time management is not just about doing more; it's about doing what's meaningful. Let's embark on this journey of intentional scheduling together. Visit us at MultifamilyCollective.com for more insights and strategies to transform your productivity and life.

1,640 Revolutionize Your Life and Real Estate Strategy with Zero-Based Thinking in 2024
Ever wondered how to reset your life and multifamily real estate approach? Dive into the world of #ZeroBasedThinking with me!
I've expanded the tiny concept of zero-based budgeting to encompass life.
In this insightful video, join me as I explore the transformative concept of zero-based thinking, a strategy traditionally used in budgeting, and apply it to the multifamily real estate sector and personal life as we enter 2024.
Zero-based thinking encourages us to disregard past habits and assumptions, instead requiring a fresh, meticulous examination of every decision and action, from budget line items to personal routines like nutrition, physical health, and mental well-being.
By adopting a zero-based mindset, we challenge ourselves to reassess every aspect of our lives and operations, seeking out the best opportunities and making informed decisions free from the constraints of past practices.
This approach is especially relevant in today's dynamic economic landscape, urging multifamily professionals and individuals to innovate and adapt for success and well-being.
I share my journey of applying zero-based thinking to my life and encourage you to consider how this powerful concept can significantly improve your personal health, habits, and even your professional strategy in the multifamily industry.
Whether it's reevaluating your investment approach or transforming your daily routines, zero-based thinking offers a path to mindful change and growth.
