Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hi, happy Friday.

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 Jill Friday. And she's going to talk about how your goals are your goals alone.

Jill K DeWit:

Yes, they are.

Steven Jack Butala:

What does that really mean?

Jill K DeWit:

It's not 2022. What are your goals? Let's all talk about it. Let's set some goals together, shall we folks? No, it's not that. No, it means that, with us, we have very different goals. I'll share something, like your goals, you have financial goals that are very different than my financial goals, and I support you in your financial goals. I have been happy and done and at the level I wanted to be as of a couple years ago and...

Steven Jack Butala:

Really?

Jill K DeWit:

Yeah, two houses ago.

Steven Jack Butala:

I didn't know that, Jill.

Jill K DeWit:

Two houses ago, I thought, "We've arrived." It was the greatest thing. And I was just so happy and it was a sweet little house, very little house, but it was just, in the location and the right neighbors. And we didn't have to sweat anymore. I think it was just getting over that hurdle is what it was for me. That's what I thought. I just needed to sleep well and not worry about things. But you have different goals and I'm happy to support you and continue down this path and keep up. And so we together now we up our goals kind of thing. You're like, "I think we can do X. What do you think?" I'm like, "Yep. I'm in." I always going to say yep, but it's just interesting that even we have different things that we want. And we'll talk about that.

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 and comment on the shows you like.

John wrote, "I just got a letter from a guy who does custom lists. Is this a good or a bad source of data?" It's funny, I had this happen to me too recently. I got a mailer from a random person in Florida and it was really like, "Whatever you need, I can get it for you kind of thing." And they listed all these different examples on here. And I'm like, "How do I know this guy's good. And how do I know where he gets his information from? And I wish you hadn't have done this." He's like, "This is great for all kinds of lines of businesses, including MLM." I'm like, "Oh, it's like." MLM to me just gives me such a bad feeling.

Steven Jack Butala:

I wonder if you received this question or inquiry on a fax machine, because that's how old this concept is.

Jill K DeWit:

Right.

Steven Jack Butala:

Somebody like me or anybody out there more and more, there's tons of people that can pull data. Just like we all do.

Jill K DeWit:

Mm hmm (affirmative).

Steven Jack Butala:

All the time off a data tree or wherever put together a custom list and send it to you. The hell is that.

Jill K DeWit:

Right.

Steven Jack Butala:

That's ridiculous. That is the old... That's like 1993.

Jill K DeWit:

How do I know the guys pulling what I want to pull.

Steven Jack Butala:

Yeah.

Jill K DeWit:

That makes me think of too. Remember we used to go back, this used to be the way before we figured out all the other great places that aggregated, but you go to the county and you could go to the county and say, "I need to get a list of all this and this."-

Steven Jack Butala:

Tax role.

Jill K DeWit:

And you're trusting that this person cares and they sit down and spend the time-

Steven Jack Butala:

And that they know about computers-

Jill K DeWit:

And they download it and give it to you in the right-

Steven Jack Butala:

It's silly.
