A few days ago, a former client reached out asking for an hour of consultancy. It has been a turbulent year for them and they needed clarity before moving forward.   We started with the numbers. Bookings, property performance, socials. We reviewed their database strategy and how AI could support the next steps. I encouraged them to diversify OTAs (a call with 😊Annie Holcombe😊. could help), and to look into tools like Simply Owners to improve direct bookings . Then we analysed revenue by office.   Now, as Sab Mulligan brilliantly says, you must be creative to work with numbers… but numbers themselves do not lie. Sometimes they’re painfully honest.   Some offices were delivering 5 star reviews and +20 percent profitability. Others were drastically underperforming with heavy losses and more staff than needed. Having known their team over several years, these results didn’t come as a surprise.   To compensate for one or two struggling employees in each office, they hired two more… training done, conversations held… yet nothing changed.   This is a company genuinely committed to people’s wellbeing. So I asked the hard question: why do nearby offices thrive while these struggle, dragging down the efforts of everyone else?   Silence. Then an answer: “It’s one person in each office. But I can’t let them go… we’ve known each other forever.”   I reminded them that these individuals have already been given different roles over time, hoping they’d find the right seat. But it hasn’t worked. And this is where the art of letting go comes in.   If a situation, a strategy, or a person is no longer aligned with your company’s success (and the numbers will always tell the truth), you must learn to let them go. You’ll be doing them a favour too, because if they are struggling, chances are they’re not happy either.   One bad apple really can spoil the basket. But when you create space by releasing what no longer works, new energy can finally enter.   If you’ve been here before, what advice would you give to a leader facing this crossroads today? ••••• Marco CANGEMI Cristiana Carpini Adriano Carà Marlena Prospato Matilde Prospato Mikele Trambusti Giuditta Regini Cristina Brambini Paul Anderson #TaraHomeConsulting #ShortTermRentals #STR #Networking #vacationrentals #Hospitality #YouCanDoAnything

How many times have we heard that phrase? And how many times, behind that seemingly harmless joke, hides the fear of change? 👉 “I don’t need a PMS, I know how to use Excel.” 👉 “Cleaning? My aunt handles it, no need for a company.” 👉 “Reviews aren’t great, but if guests don’t like it, they can go elsewhere.” 👉 “Social media? My son does the posts — a few likes are enough.” 👉 “Yes, I collect guest contacts at check-in, but just because I have to… if they want to come back, they have my number.” These are real quotes, heard a thousand times by anyone working in property management or hospitality consulting. They tell a truth: many property managers and hosts feel self-sufficient, convinced that good will, a few Excel sheets, and intuition are enough to run everything. But behind that confidence often hides a chaotic, exhausting, and unscalable operation. And when business grows — more properties, more bookings, more guest requests — the risk is drowning in calls, messages, double bookings, and bad reviews. 🔍 So, what exactly is a PMS? That “unmentionable” tool is simply a platform that makes life easier for anyone managing vacation rentals or hospitality properties. In one single space, you can manage: 🏠 Bookings 🧹 Cleaning schedules 📅 Calendars 💬 Guest communication 📊 Data analytics It’s like having a digital assistant who never forgets and frees up your time for what truly matters — growing your business and delighting your guests. 💡 Using a PMS doesn’t mean losing control. It means having more control, less stress, and more time. Because real freedom isn’t “doing everything yourself,” it’s having the right tools to do it better. 👉 So… are you still part of the “Excel forever” team, or have you already discovered the power of a PMS? ••••• Marco CANGEMI Cristiana Carpini Adriano Carà Marlena Prospato Matilde Prospato Mikele Trambusti Giuditta Regini Cristina Brambini Paul Anderson #TaraHomeConsulting #ShortTermRentals #STR #Networking #vacationrentals #Hospitality #YouCanDoAnything #WVREC #WomenInHospitality #VacationRentals #Leadership #Empowerment #ShortTermRental

A few days ago, at one of our conferences, I walked into the room just before the opening session. I looked around and saw worried faces, people checking their phones, others typing furiously on laptops. Many didn’t know each other. The atmosphere felt… tense. And then something shifted. Someone shared a story that everyone in the room could relate to, and suddenly the shoulders dropped, the phones went away, and the faces softened. People started looking at each other—not as competitors, not as strangers, but as part of something. That moment reminded me of why I do this. Why we spend sleepless nights preparing conferences, coaching teams, managing clients. Because beyond the numbers, beyond the slides, what people really need is to feel seen. To feel like they belong. And this goes far beyond conferences. It’s the essence of hospitality itself. Guests don’t just remember a comfortable bed or a quick check-in. They remember when they felt welcomed, recognised, connected. That’s what transforms a stay into a memory, and a booking into loyalty. Just think that even the big hotel chains are trying to offer personalised experiences to encourage guests to return, and they call them by name rather than referring to them as the guest staying in the “chalet opposite the slopes”. I’ve seen the same thing with teams. People don’t just want a salary; they want to be part of a vision. Owners don’t just want a contract; they want trust. Colleagues don’t just want a meeting; they want connection. As an industry, we’re brilliant at building tech, refining operations, and chasing growth. But none of it matters without belonging. For me, this year has been full of challenges—personally and professionally. And I can say without hesitation: what kept me going were colleagues, friends who reminded me I wasn’t alone. That I was part of something bigger. So whether we’re welcoming a guest, hosting a round table, or leading a team, let’s remember: ✨ Belonging is what people crave. ✨ Belonging is what we can offer. ✨ And belonging is what will shape the future of hospitality. ••••• Marco CANGEMI Cristiana Carpini Adriano Carà Marlena Prospato Matilde Prospato Mikele Trambusti Giuditta Regini Cristina Brambini Paul Anderson #TaraHomeConsulting #ShortTermRentals #STR #Networking #vacationrentals #Hospitality #YouCanDoAnything

At Tara Home Consulting, we’re proudly women-friendly — not as a slogan, but as a daily way of doing business. Our team includes new mothers, single women, and even mothers of furry children — each bringing strength, empathy, and a unique perspective to the way we work and connect with others. In the vacation rental industry, 82% of booking and home-selection decisions are made by women — whether it’s choosing where their family will spend the holidays or deciding which property managerto trust with their home. That number speaks volumes. Women drive trust. Women drive loyalty. Women drive the emotional connection that turns a booking into a lifelong relationship. That’s why supporting women — as entrepreneurs, managers, consultants, and clients — isn’t just a value we stand by. It’s smart business. This is also why we created WVREC | Women Vacation Rental European Conference, the first European event designed to connect, empower, and elevate women shaping the future of the short-term rental industry. Because when women rise, the whole industry rises. ••••• Marco CANGEMI Cristiana Carpini Adriano Carà Marlena Prospato Matilde Prospato Mikele Trambusti Giuditta Regini Cristina Brambini Paul Anderson #TaraHomeConsulting #ShortTermRentals #STR #Networking #vacationrentals #Hospitality #YouCanDoAnything #WVREC #WomenInHospitality #VacationRentals #Leadership #Empowerment #ShortTermRental
