Scaling Your Business with Partners (LA 859)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hello.

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

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

Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about scaling your business with partners. Jill and I had the unfortunate event of being trapped in a car for about 10 hours on the way back from the holiday weekend between Scottsdale and Los Angeles.

Jill DeWit:                            Yesterday.

Steven Butala:                   And we watched about 400 episodes of Shark Tank.

Jill DeWit:                            Yes, we did.

Steven Butala:                   And it dawned on me that all these guys are doing is bringing on partners and scaling up what ends up being a holding company or an investment portfolio of companies.

Jill DeWit:                            Yep.

Steven Butala:                   To their benefit. It's a win, win situation. So, we've been doing that for a really long time with the boot selling ground program. We're about to launch a couple other companies that are driven by people who are better at the stuff that we're about to go do, than us. They're our partners.

Jill DeWit:                            Exactly.

Steven Butala:                   I figured, heck, logical extension of everything seems to be having a show and talking about it.

Jill DeWit:                            Isn't it fun to spend that much time in a car with your significant other too. I just gotta say, Steven, that quality time that we got to share together yesterday was just, oh priceless, and I cannot wait to do that again.

Steven Butala:                   Somebody said to me, "You know, there's these things called airplanes."

Jill DeWit:                            Yes.

Steven Butala:                   It would of been just as bad, I think, in the airport.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. That was my thing. Last minute, do we jump on a plane, but I'm like, no, this is the worst day ever. We would be standing in line at security. That could be worse.

Steven Butala:                   And sitting on a tarmac for a year.

Jill DeWit:                            That's true. Yup.

Steven Butala:                   Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. And it's free. As you're listening, please drop your questions into the comment section below.

Jill DeWit:                            Mark S. asks, "How are you planning for 2019?

Steven Butala:                   That's a brilliant question.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   Sometimes the shortest, easiest questions are the most brilliant and the most difficult to respond to.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. I already got a couple answers.

Steven Butala:                   Go ahead.

Jill DeWit:                            So for me personally, it's what this show's about. We're gonna talk about that. The second part though is, I'm just thinking, from our members perspective, if I was a member, here's what I would be doing. First of all, if I was a brand new member, I would be blowing through 1.0 and 2.0, which is now available, as fast as I can. I would have it open on one computer, and I would be doing it on another computer,
