Transcript:

Steven Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from sweet Scottsdale, Arizona.

Steven Butala:

Today Jill and I talk about the breakdown of how to hire staff. Super, super popular topic with our customer service people and on Discord.

Jill DeWit:

Do you know why this makes me so happy?

Steven Butala:

Tell me.

Jill DeWit:

Because that means so many people are doing it right, and they're getting busy, and they need help.

Steven Butala:

Oh, sure. Right, I didn't think of that.

Jill DeWit:

Yeah. If you're not thinking about hiring, you're not doing any volume. You're not busy, you're doing just fine. But this many people, this is such a hot topic right now. And I'm like, "Oh, it's going great for a lot of people."

Steven Butala:

This is the single most challenging thing in my career, is hiring people. And fortunately, now we've got staff now to hire other staff. And they're very, very good at it, much better than I ever was. Steve jobs said one time, if you do everything right in your career, at some point you will end up being a recruiter. And I think that's really telling.

Jill DeWit:

I love that. I agree.

Steven Butala:

We actually just recently put up a webpage on all of our sites about careers and our help wanted.

Jill DeWit:

I hoped it's to the public now. It's on landinvestors.com. If you go to the top and look at jobs there. And it's not just us, we have our own jobs posted, and it's a place for you as a member to for free post your jobs.

Steven Butala:

Does anybody use it?

Jill DeWit:

Yeah, there's actually other people on there.

Steven Butala:

That's great.

Jill DeWit:

Mm-hmm (affirmative). Totally.

Steven Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free, and if you're a Land Academy member already, please join us on Discord.

Jill DeWit:

Rachel wrote, "Hi all, I'm looking to join a mastermind group where I can contribute and continue growing as a land investor. Are there any groups willing to open the doors for one more? I can be reached here and we can also connect on Discord." Thank you for any consideration, Rachel. First I was going to say, Rachel, you're on discord, so you're a member. I hope you're in the Land Academy ladies group. So definitely join there, because we have people from, oh boy, all levels.

Steven Butala:

I'll tell you, that's free, and these women are doing deals together. Jill's a ringleader. And it's worked out. A lot of times you start these products and they just don't work. I don't know, three out of 10 maybe. This thing worked, this lady's group, they're kicking it.

Jill DeWit:

Mm-hmm (affirmative). It's awesome, and it's fun.

Steven Butala:

Here's the thing, we've got the regular Land Academy, we've got Land Investors, we've got discord, we have Jill's ladies group, we have the accountability group. This is a closed group, we have to cap it. Then it's very, very popular, and it's hard to get into. Reach out to [email protected]. Jill and I are doing it presently, we're going to get other people to get involved, other members who've shown interest in teaching. And it doesn't cost anything, at the moment anyway, but it's hard to get into. I was actually considering doing two, so we'll see what happens. We have tons and tons of people trying to sign up for it. And then ultimately, we just started Career Path.

Jill DeWit:

It just recently launched by the way. What day are we airing.... This is Wednesday.

Steven Butala:

It's April 4th.

Jill DeWit:

Yeah, yeah.

Steven Butala:

When it starts. Land Academy Career Path is a paid-for 15 person cap, Jill and I'll teach the class. And at the end of it, you'll be selling the real estate you bought during the class.
