HOA SWOT analysis

homeowner association dues reminder
Weakness, threat, and opportunity all-in-one. Dues haven’t been increased in 26 years. Easy fix, raise the dues immediately to $430 simply to have the same buying power as $200 did in 1997.

HOA SWOT analysis:

Strengths…

  • Privacy
  • Large lots
  • Association Lake lot
  • Proximity to Walt Disney World (Disney World is on the same lake)

Weaknesses…

  • Alluring to ambitious investors
  • Dysfunctional HOA leadership (see photo)
  • Member apathy

Opportunities…

  • Professionalize entire HOA structure and processes
  • Move from legacy paper systems to digital
  • Move from do-it-yourself mindset to hiring professionals
  • By-Law language to ensure residential in perpetuity (no vacation home rental conversions)
  • Hire Property Management Company

Threats…

  • Member apathy
  • Investors not interested in residential living
  • Legal vulnerabilities from old-school, small-town mindset
  • Ticking clock (apathy)

Big picture is the small stuff

So small and insignificant on a busy morning. How in the world did you notice? Why in the world did you stop to photograph?

The big picture is the small stuff.

The basics.

Simplicity.

Presence.

Joy.

Purpose.

Enthusiasm.

Staying organized

Same chairs, no longer white.

Staying organized.

There’s something about a long front porch with a bunch of rocking chairs.

Be amazed and be amazing.

Low key on an exciting trip

Low key on an exciting trip.

Why?

These blogs are personal.

And yet while personal, they are packed with subtle and sometimes obvious Disney business insights.

These blogs are also public.

And therein lies the low key approach. What we did as a Family the past three days has been a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Will this change in the future? Maybe. Maybe not. But for right now, from our 10th-floor hotel room window as the frigid darkness turns to dawn, low key seems like the right key.

The eyes have it

The eyes have it. Meaning yesterday i had a local eye exam within walking distance from home.

Like many other services in which i had to drive 30 minutes to, i’ve now moved them all closer, except the Allergist (the closest is still 30 mins away).

When you love your eye doctor (or any provider) but you want to change your lifestyle (like walk instead of drive to appointments), you have to embrace “different”.

Also asked Jody Maberry to experiment with a Disney-like “i” in Life, on the “If Disney Ran Your Life” Podcast art. “Have fun with it, don’t cross any legal lines, and let’s just see what his designer comes back with.”

The “i’s” have it?

Maybe.
