Permission to Prune
IDEA: Tree pruning means selectively removing injured, dead, or infected parts of the tree in order to improve the tree’s structure, and promoting new, healthy growth. Vacation rental businesses can prune too by selectively removing parts of the business that are weighing us down and impeding our goals.
ACTION: Prune parts of your business that may be restricting your growth. Some examples:
- Sub-par properties in your fleet that generate sub-par reviews (retire them from the fleet)
- Complicated owners in your pool who unnecessarily take up precious time and resources (release them from the relationship)
- Listing sites that generate less-than-optimal results in guest quality or channels of communication (delete your account)
- Employees that are just not the best fit for your team (fire them)
- Software that is holding you back (choose a new one)
Sincerely,
