It sure worked many drinking the cool aid..

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

However, you could do a mix of both, for example you could create paid advertising to promote specials/rates, partner with a local restaurant to have some type of a collaboration that includes a free drink with a stay, or you could switch to longer rentals.

We do not drink but I wasn't opposed to providing a local wine that was fun.

Folks just drink the cool aid of guaranteed rent..

I actually make my own greens smoothy / drink often but when I am on a writing heater and don’t want to pause, I grab some AG1.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

That means not traveling unless necessary, less going out to eat/drinking and avoiding unnecessary expenses of all types till your HELOC and CC debt is close to nothing.

Others are Mr Howell and his deck chair with the drink with the umbrella in it in the shade .
