Chapters

We still have full time jobs at this point, we are not any closer to traveling more, actually doing less because we're so overworked. And at that point we actually hired out all of the day to day messaging, and once we were able to step back from that day to day messaging and put a ton of systems in place, where the business would run whether we were in the country or not. That is when we were able to actually go out travel and it didn't really matter if we were on Eastern standard time. Is there any kind of tech or tools that you use to really help you do that? Oh yeah. So we use a PMS channel we use hostfully personally. We have wheelhouse for pricing and we use breezeway for cleaning accountability so that we don't need to actually go and schedule all the cleaners each time there's a clean they can self schedule.
