This weeks story is worth a listen with Hayley Rachelle the Director of Operations for Pad Suites, a Short Term Rental business based in Dallas, TX This story is a bit of a different one. Rather than focusing on Pad Suites success of scaling from 45 listings to 115, we talk about what it really takes to succeed. We explore that it isn’t an easy path, or a rosy one. Actually, for Hayley, the first year of working was non-stop without a break. Hayley started in the short-term rental space three years ago, and at the time, the business only had 45 listings. Since then, they have outlasted the pandemic, and as of 2021, they have over 115 rental properties, across the United States, which Hayley is managing. We talk about how it is crucial to work ON rather than IN your business. Hayley helps us re-examine some hard questions, gives advice on how to work on your business, and bursts some common misconceptions in this space.
