Jack Thursday - Life is a One Way Trip so Live Consciously (LA 1746)

Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Jack Butala:

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

Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the valley of the sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today's Jack Thursday, and I'm going to talk about how life is a one way trip so you need to be real conscious about what you do in my opinion.

Jill K DeWit:

It's funny.

Steven Jack Butala:

Bear in mind, this is Jack Thursday. There are some people on the internet, I've noticed, that this is what they think about this show. Oh my God, really? I thought this was supposed to be a show about buying and selling land. I thought I was going to tune into this show and you were going to have a show like, "This is how you send out mail." Like Ferris Bueller's math teacher, and you send mail out. That's not what this is. This is a podcast. If you want to know how to send out mail, you should join our club or ask other people in the club if the education is worth it and all that. And trust me, it is.

Jill K DeWit:

Well, I'm confused too, then, because that's not what I thought this was.

Steven Jack Butala:

If Jill and I did a show about how to send out-

Jill K DeWit:

Wait.

Steven Jack Butala:

Mail on how to buy property real inexpensively and then resell it for a lot more, it would be like 20 shows and that's it.

Jill K DeWit:

Well, I have a little side note. Hold on a moment. If I'm not sitting here and you sit down and do your own podcast, brand new right now, about anything you want to talk about, what would it be?

Steven Jack Butala:

This topic.

Jill K DeWit:

Oh.

Steven Jack Butala:

That's what Jack Thursday is.

Jill K DeWit:

Oh.

Steven Jack Butala:

Because I'll tell you right now, Jill and I do exit interviews for people who choose to leave the group. None of them, none of them, not one person that I'm aware of has ever said, "This system of selling, sending blind offers out and then answering your phone and putting a deal together, running through some due diligence and reselling it, that doesn't work." Not a single person's ever said that. What they say is, "I couldn't get organized enough. Some stuff changed in my life." It's all life stuff. It's driven us. We don't just sit around and talk about what we want to talk about. Most of the time we respond to what our members are asking for and many, many members, way more members ask for, "How should I deal with this thing that's going on over here?" They don't ask for clarification on what kind of offer to send out or what should be in the offer.

Jill K DeWit:

I get you.

Steven Jack 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 don't forget to subscribe on the Land Academy YouTube channel. Comment on the shows you like.

Jill K DeWit:

This is the question I accidentally started to answer that I also saw in Discord from Monday. Drew wrote, "Is it a hindrance or a benefit having a real estate license? Now that I'm telling people what I do at gatherings and out and about, is it worth getting my state real estate license even if we see way better margins as our normal way of doing business? What about the occasional warm leads to list?" Oh, this is actually very different than what I read, so no. "What about the occasional warm leads to list a property as an agent? What's the deeper worry? Anything non agents versus agents can benefit or hinder as being a Land Academy..." He used the word wholesaler, but I don't use that word anymore.

Steven Jack Butala:

We don't use it.

Jill K DeWit:

Because it's not-

Steven Jack Butala:

It's got a different meaning.

Jill K DeWit:

It does. It took a life of its own on. And then the way people think wholesale is not what we do. Wholesale to me is how I price it.
