The Future of Self Storage | What’s Happening & What You Need to Succeed

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income Podcast! This your host AJ Osborne.   There are no two ways about it - industries are changing every single day, and they’re changing rapidly. Self Storage is no exception. Self Storage today is drastically different in a number of ways than it was even 10 years ago. But what have been some of the biggest and most influential changes that have happened, and that we also see coming? And how can we plan today to be a part of and take advantage of those changes? And what is holding the self storage industry back?   These are the questions that my team and I are always asking. This is also why I’ve invested heavily into companies and products over the past decade that are asking these same questions, and providing the self storage industry with solutions for these questions.   We’ve seen what happens when industries or globally recognized brands don’t pay attention to changes in the market. They ultimately fail to meet the needs and expectations of their consumers. They’re “disrupted”, and sometimes for good. The great thing here though is that you can be a part of this change and this future of self storage. You don’t have to own or run a facility that is behind the times failing to adapt.   This is what we’re diving into on today’s podcast. I’m going to share the changes I’ve seen, the changes I expect, and some of the ways me and my investments are taking advantage of these industry changes to put ourselves ahead of the competition.   As always, thanks for listening and for all the incredible support, AJ     The Self Storage Income Exclusive Fall Event in Coeur d’Alene Idaho (GET YOUR SEATS RESERVED ASAP!) - https://selfstorageincome.com/events/   Be sure to go to Selfstorageincome.com to get your copy of my Self Storage Playbook.
