Don't Let Feelings Get in the Way

Transcript:

Jack Butala:                         Jack and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hi.

Jack Butala:                         Welcome to the Jack Jill Show, entertaining real estate investment advice. I'm Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:                            And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Well, actually, technically, I'm not really in Southern right now, we're in Northern California, but anyway ...

Jack Butala:                         Broadcasting from Northern California, where the birth of the computer happened.

Jill DeWit:                            Yup.

Jack Butala:                         Today, Jill and I talk about how not to let your feelings get in the way. You know what's the number one-

Jill DeWit:                            I have an idea. Don't have feelings. Don't feel.

Jack Butala:                         Number one thing that causes people to not succeed is emotion. It's total, full-blown ... This is not my opinion, it's a fact.

Jill DeWit:                            I believe it.

Jack Butala:                         And we're all guilty of it; we sit around saying, "Yeah, wonder if I could do this."

Jill DeWit:                            I believe it.

Jack Butala:                         "Wonder if I should do this today at all. Maybe I should just make a fire and watch a movie."

Jill DeWit:                            "Wonder if I should even get out of bed."

Jack Butala:                         Yeah, that's it.

Jill DeWit:                            Uh-huh. "I'm a failure, there's no way I'm that smart, I'll never be that person, I can't catch up, I'm not worthy."

Jack Butala:                         So we've all been there.

Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Jack Butala:                         What do you do to ... Well, have you not gotten out of bed ever?

Jill DeWit:                            Oh, sure.

Jack Butala:                         Really?

Jill DeWit:                            No, not like this. No, by choice not gotten out of bed.

Jack Butala:                         Oh, yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            Remember that? That's called Naked Sunday.

Jack Butala:                         Oh my gosh. What the heck? Happy New Year.

Jill DeWit:                            That's right. Anyway ... I'm sorry, was that not the question?

Jack Butala:                         That was not the question.

Jill DeWit:                            Oh.

Jack Butala:                         Have you ever not gotten out of bed because you're just all ...

Jill DeWit:                            Morose?

Jack Butala:                         Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            No.

Jack Butala:                         I haven't either.

Jill DeWit:                            I haven't. Now, have I noticed I'm leading ... Have I noticed I'm not my best? Absolutely.

Jack Butala:                         Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            Have I felt myself slipping into a little funk mode? Sure. But, you know, I recognize it, I solve it, and I move on.

Jack Butala:                         You have little mantras, don't you?

Jill DeWit:                            All the time.

Jack Butala:                         What are some of the things going through your head every day like?

Jill DeWit:                            "Jack did not mean to do that." Just kidding.

Jack Butala:                         "I know there's better guys out there than Jack; however, it's too hard to find them."

Jill DeWit:                            Man, that's right. "You did not waste that many years in your life." Just kidding. I'm just kidding.

Jack Butala:                         That's so awful. I had somebody say that to me one time.
