Sometimes, great initiatives need to be shut down because they are not sustainable.
Which is a difficult pill to swallow, especially when you're passionate (read: stubborn) about something and you badly want it to work.
But it's the truth: as vacation rental innovators we test out lots of ideas...some work, others don't...and then some (the really "special" ones LOL) are both amazing and unsustainable.
What project/experiment/test/trial/relationship do you have going that should really be shut down?
Have you ever learned this lesson the hard/prolonged way?
Today (in the conversation below) Terry and I announce the end of Keystone Awards, the deepest independent dive into property management software research that has ever been offered to the general owner/manager public for free.
Sad, honest, real, objective...it was cathartic to talk through our big lessons in the episode below.
We are selling access to a compilation of our published findings in The Essential Guide to Property Management Software. If you have ever benefitted from our research and know others who may too, we've structured the information like a miniature course.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Keystone Awards over the years!
We are honored to call you colleagues and friends!
Summary: Years ago Terry and Matt started sharing and formalizing their research on tech stacks and property management software with the wider community. In this episode they discuss the future of their Keystone Awards project and wider lessons to think about when using a "help don't sell" model in your industry.
