It Takes Two Years to Get Traction in Anything (LA 734)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hello.

Steven Butala:                   Welcome to The Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talking. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:                            And, I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from gorgeous southern California.

Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about, it takes about two years to good traction in anything that's worth while.

Jill DeWit:                            It's true. Sometimes longer, depending what it is.

Steven Butala:                   That scares a lot of people.

Jill DeWit:                            Like, some professions and...

Steven Butala:                   It sounds daunting, it's 2018 now.

Jill DeWit:                            Right.

Steven Butala:                   What do you mean it takes... So, you mean in 2020 I'm going to start making money or doing well at this? No, that's not what I mean at all. It just means that, in every project that you've already taken on, school's a good example because everybody can relate to it. There's a point where it's like, wow this is hard! I'm not sure I can do this.

Jill DeWit:                            In the beginning.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah, and then you do it and a couple times. Okay I got it, I think I got it. Maybe it's a fluke, maybe it's a one off, maybe I got lucky. I'm not sure. I'll try it again and see. But at some point you're like, you've solved about ten problems, you're doing well. And, you took a look back, for me it's like looking at the bank balance. It's like, you know what? Maybe I've got this worked out.

Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative)

Steven Butala:                   That usually ha[[ens for me like in two years on any big project. But, before we get into it, Let's take a question posted by one of our members. On TheLandAcademy.com, online community, it's free.

Jill DeWit:                            Okay. Matt asks, this is a good one too. So, I'm gonna read the questions and then there's little parts where people weighed in on it. So, it's kinda part of the whole thread here, which is awesome. Thank you, producer.

Steven Butala:                   That's kind of the point to this whole question, I think. I've cleared it over a lot of the other ones. It's a really good use of LandInvestors.com.

Jill DeWit:                            That's true, which is our online community

                                                Matt asks, "Hey guys, I have a deal that I'm about to pull the trigger on. But it's a step out of my traditional purchase criteria. I bought all small infield lots up until now, about twenty total. This one is $10,000 and 10 acres without physical access. I made a three or four minute video to make it easy for you. If you wouldn't mind watching that and let me know if you think it's an issue, or if you think it's fine. And, if you have any advice in final due diligence that I should be completing before proceeding." And then, he put a link for the actual video in the thread.

Steven Butala:                   If you want to watch the video go to LandInvestors.com and just keyword search, something thar is unique in this whole thing. Something like, map. Or, the website that he posted on is called Useloom, U-S-E-L-O-O-M. Just keyword search that, and you'll be able to find a link to the video and watch that.

Jill DeWit:                            And see the whole thread.

Steven Butala:                   Yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            Yep. I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say. Here are some of my side questions that I have.

                                                "The sellers say it's behind a locked gate, so I don't know if I'll be able to get a photographer ...
