People are Getting Rich (LA 1716) RERUN

Transcript:

Steven Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:

Happy Monday.

Steven Butala:

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

Jill DeWit:

And I am Jill DeWitt, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.

Steven Butala:

Today Jill and I talk about how people are getting rich. This whole title, and show, and episode came up because Jill had a consulting call with a couple of people, and they're getting rich. They're in our group, getting rich, and they want to know how to get, I guess-

Jill DeWit:

Richer.

Steven Butala:

Better.

Jill DeWit:

It's so funny. It was just like, I hung up the phone ... Or, wasn't on the phone. It was a Zoom call. I got off the call, and I'm like, "Holy cow." It's just a sweet couple in our group about to quit their jobs. Those are good jobs, by the way. I'm like, "Do they even realize what just happened?" Then what we were talking about is what's possible. That's what's ... They're ready for it. They're like, "Yep, we get you." They weren't even shocked, as we talked. I know we'll share more about this.

Steven Butala:

Yeah, we'll get into it in the episode, because we haven't talked about it at all, except for the title. I want to know what they said and what their situation is, and how they got there, and all of that.

Jill DeWit:

It's funny. Yeah.

Steven 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.

Jill DeWit:

[Pete 00:01:23] wrote, "Hi, all. I'm new to Land Academy and loving it all. I just approved my first batch of 10,000 units of mail, 10,000 mailers, with offers to owners. I can't wait until the activity starts."

Steven Butala:

Yikes.

Jill DeWit:

I know. I wonder if Pete's going to send it out all at once, been there, done that, or he's going to sparse it out. I'm guessing he's going to sparse it out, but we'll see.

Jill DeWit:

"In my opinion," here we go, "I'd rather send a large quantity of mail and be a little picky instead of moving forward with marginal deals that will take longer to sell. I'm hoping to get on this schedule, this amount of mailers per week as a base, and then build up from there. Am I setting myself up to be overwhelmed, or is this a level that I can manage as long as I delegate as much as possible? I'm planning to use PATLive, and I've got a couple assistants already that work for me for other businesses."

Steven Butala:

Oh, okay.

Jill DeWit:

That's good.

Steven Butala:

Here we go. He's got other businesses.

Jill DeWit:

"It should be pretty easy for me to get them up to speed on some of the other tasks."

Steven Butala:

Excellent.

Jill DeWit:

"Is there anyone out there that sends 100,000 mailers a month? From the response rates I've heard just reading here, this type of volume could be really lucrative as long as you can turn your system into a well-oiled machine." This ties into what we talked about yesterday. "If any pros out there have some advice or tips on anything, I'm all ears."

Jill DeWit:

You want to go first?

Steven Butala:

No, you go first.

Jill DeWit:

Okay. This ties into ... It was last week, actually, the call that I had with this couple that we're going to talk about today, and just what's possible.

Jill DeWit:

To answer Pete's question, see what you can do. I personally ... We talked about this in the last couple weeks, those people that are go-for-it people that just jump off the cliff, there's people that, "I'm going to stand over here and watch you guys," and there's some that can't get out of the car. Pete's clearly a "jump off the cliff", and he's a "run off the cliff" person.

Steven Butala:

Just like Jill.

Jill DeWit:

I'll figure it out. You're either going to sink or swim. You're going to figure it out. It sounds like Pete has other companies and things going on. This is not nuts for him. I think it's great.

Steven Butala:

I do too.
