So, having your money working inside of good assets, not only allows you for good appreciation but you've got continued, great rent operations and the demand for storage has not been shrinking at all. The millennial generation is now becoming the largest users of storage more so than we've seen in the past." - Zach Morrow04:24 - "I wanted to find a way to transition out of the corps and be able to provide the life for my family that I felt was right for us. And for us, that was me finding a way to not only have the financial freedom, but the time freedom to be able to spend with them and to be present."- Zach Morrow10:13 - "There's always going to be new levels of growth and opportunity. And I think that the more we can recognize where we're at and process where we're trying to get to, we can reverse engineer the skills that we need and the resources that we need." - Zach Morrow10:49 - "There's going to be two things that you can give and it's either your time and your experience or your money. And both of those can earn you the opportunity." - Zach Morrow15:54 - "One of the most difficult things about transitioning out is, in most cases, you're going to lose the clarity and now you're going to become responsible for it. And a lot of times we haven't been trained to do that. So, that's a really difficult thing to do. Finding a way to regiment your time to create clarity for yourself is critical for your term success." - Zach Morrow17:37 - "Once you know what your target is, you can get really clear on the next step. But if you're always focusing on the thing that's so far away, you're never going to hit the target. So, if we just put these things out there, it becomes extremely difficult to hit the target, unless you can set it up and then reign it back in and focus on that next thing right in front of you." - Zach Morrow27:44 - "Your job shouldn't be to be the expert at everything. It should be how to find experts at everything. It's not always like, how do I do something, it's who do I need. That's the question we ask more often because 'how' requires me to completely transform who I am and then I'm starting from zero where I can potentially just partner with somebody or bring somebody on or create a relationship.
