Does this sound familiar? You have a home improvement project you’ve been wanting to get at, or a new business idea you’re itching to get started on. When we want something done our natural inclination is to ask ourselves: “How can I do this? And that can be a path full of obstacles and doubts. You may need tools, information, or inspiration – all of which can potentially bring you to a full stop.

A better question to ask yourself is: “Who can do this for me?” It’s a mindset shift that opens the door to the limitless possibility in your life and in your business.

If the imminent spring weather is prompting you to “get at” an improvement to your condo balcony or terrace, well you’re not alone in your hesitation and questions. Because renovating anything in a condo can be tricky business – way tougher than cleaning the eavestroughs or power washing the deck!

Lucky for you, we can help you answer both questions – How you can get it done? and Who can do it for you? Our new book “The Essential Guide to Balconies & Terraces – For Condo Owners in Premium Condominium Communities” addresses head on the perils and pitfalls of upgrading your balcony or terrace and advises you exactly how to avoid them.

For example, Pitfall #6 sets out the risks of trying to do it yourself. Let’s start on a lovely morning or a completely open day, with your cup of coffee steaming at your elbow. Now, you are by nature an entrepreneurial and independent person; you are accustomed to rolling up your sleeves and bring a ‘let’s get it done’ attitude in just about everything you do. So you dive in to take control.

You start by digging out the Rules and Regulations of your Condo Board, and right away you realize you’re going to need to run your balcony or terrace improvement project by your condo Board and property manager. So you head down to the office, and learn that your property manager wants to see your design and plans before you start.

So off you go and attempt to create the design – you say to yourself I can do this, it’s just a balcony or terrace, after all how hard can it be? But after a few hours of scrolling Pinterest and Instagram, and learning about different materials, you may have an idea of our design, but you may also be feeling discouraged. You thought you’d be back from the home supply store by now.

When you talk to your Property Manager again, they tell you there are building envelop and building code considerations. And that you’ll need to find a qualified  contractor who has insurance and WSIB coverage, and who knows how to do this type of work and the ins and outs of it all.

By this point, you’ve lost the spark of excitement you had the other morning, when it all seemed so simple.

I know what it’s like to feel stuck. You wonder: What am I missing?

I’ll tell you what’s missing: The skillsets to know what to do and how to do it. The biggest shifts we see with our clients who want to try to do it themselves is their recognition that there’s a lot more to upgrading a balcony or terrace than meets the eye. They realize their time is so valuable. What is it that they really want? They want the destination and not the plane! They want the finished product and along the way to getting it, they want to enjoy the process of being involved with their design-builder in a meaningful way so they can truly say to themselves – I created this! They begin to realize I need the Who and not the How. The smart people get it early and not late in the game, otherwise it costs them unnecessary pain, frustration and more money than they imagined.

And that’s exactly what I want to teach you.
