Land Investment is Not the Place to Save Time or Money (LA 1758)

Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Stevie, Jill, here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Jack Butala:

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

Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill Dewitt, broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today, Jill and I talk about how land investment, the environment, is not the place to try to save time and money.

Jill K DeWit:

Or even specifically, getting it going. Please don't... There's things you can't skimp on. I know we're going to go through a list. I'll ask you. It'll be fun. We'll make a list of things that you can skimp on and you cannot skimp on, like how much you spend on a sandwich. Skimp on that. How much you spend on mail, don't skimp on that.

Steven Jack Butala:

Buy a used car. Don't buy a new one. Even if it's one or two years old. We all know this, and we're all entrepreneurs here. Our whole listening base, I'm sure, is some version of an entrepreneur, and everybody loves to save money. You know where you save money in this environment? When you buy a piece of property.

Jill K DeWit:

Not everybody loves to save money, by the way.

Steven Jack Butala:

Oh, really? You think it's just me?

Jill K DeWit:

Yeah. I'm not even going to tell you how much I just spent on concert tickets. Let me tell you real quick.

Steven Jack Butala:

Sure.

Jill K DeWit:

All right. I got us tickets for... If you're listening, I'd love to know if you know who this is. Rufus Du Sol. I personally love, love, love Rufus Du Sol, and I just got us tickets to go see them in Santa Barbara, general admission. Just no seats, on the floor, on the front. You ready? $400 each.

Steven Jack Butala:

Oh my gosh. It'll be worth it, though.

Jill K DeWit:

I know. I'm like, "I don't care."

Steven Jack Butala:

That's a good break for us, too, just to go out there.

Jill K DeWit:

Ah, yes.

Steven Jack Butala:

I don't care about saving money about stuff like that, either.

Jill K DeWit:

See? See? That's the thing. Not going to save money on that. Will I save money on how I get there? Sure. Or where I stay? Yeah. But on the show, on the event? Heck no. That's an event.

Steven Jack Butala:

Actually, I have a bunch to say about this. Let's do the commercial first. I think the gist of it is, if you're saving money, if you're being frivolous about how personally comfortable you are, that's silly.

Jill K DeWit:

Yep. [inaudible 00:02:09] hear more about that. Okay. Go ahead.

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 I'm hoping that you know by now that Jill and I personally instruct a handful of new and existing Land Academy members in a live class called Career Path. If buying and selling land is your career, or you want it to be, let us know. Check out [email protected] and see if it's for you.

Jill K DeWit:

Yeah. That reminds me, Career Path number five is scheduled for October. It'll be the week after this event, so apparently, this concert will be our kickoff.

Steven Jack Butala:

Oh, that's why you just...

Jill K DeWit:

I just thought of it.

Steven Jack Butala:

It fit into your schedule.

Jill K DeWit:

No. Oh, no. I would have moved the schedule to go see Rufus Du Sol there. Don't even think about that. You know what's funny? It's either the next night, or it's not long after that, they're playing the Hollywood Bowl. Can you believe that?

Steven Jack Butala:

Rufus Du Sol's playing the Hollywood Bowl?

Jill K DeWit:

I know.

Steven Jack Butala:

You did the right thing.

Jill K DeWit:

Oh, of course.

Steven Jack Butala:

Santa Barbara's way better than Hollywood Bowl.

Jill K DeWit:

Exactly. Okay. Enough about our little personal lives. I'm sure you're like, "Get on with it." Okay. This is so cool. Josiah wrote... What would he call himself? Josie the...
