Transcript:

Speaker 1:           Steven and Jill here.

Speaker 2:           Hi there.

Speaker 1:           Welcome to the Land academy show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Speaker 2:           And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from the sunny southern California.

Speaker 1:           Today Jill and I are talking about why playing at your level is imperative.

Speaker 2:           Steven do you always play at your level?

Speaker 1:           Yeah, actually I probably do. I try to play slightly above my current level.

Speaker 2:           I think that's the best place to be.

Speaker 1:           I mean the best analogy I can use, is imagine if you just decided yesterday you wanted to start playing basketball and you're 12 years old, and you got thrown into the MBA.

Speaker 2:           Or even the varsity team.

Speaker 1:           Or even with whatever. So you're never gonna play basketball again. But you might a Michael Jordan waiting to happen.

Speaker 2:           That's not gonna do you any good.

Speaker 1:           So it's the same thing with this. You don't even wanna ... and if you're an extremely good born basketball player, and you're gonna have to play kindergarten level basketball you're never gonna do it again either.

Speaker 2:           Yeah talk about a quick way to get frustrated, and give up and think this sucks, and not for me I'm out.

Speaker 1:           Before we get into the topic, let's take a question posted by one of our members. That may have been the best part of this show and it's just over. Like, click, now I got it, thanks.

Speaker 2:           I was gonna say, this is a good prelude to My Land academy light too by the way.

Speaker 1:           Took a question by, posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community and it's free. And as you're listening please drop your questions in the comments section below.

Speaker 2:           Or drop your comments in the comment section below like you guys, just kidding. Mark asked, "I know you say you need ten deals to feel comfortable. I felt comfortable at two.

Speaker 1:           Which is perfect for this topic.

Speaker 2:           It is. So now I'm 15 deals in. How do I know I'm ready for info lots or houses? Am i ready? How do you think? I think he is.

Speaker 1:           Well just by the fact that you've got that confidence and you do have some deals under your belt you're way ahead of the curve so. You're ready. That's how you know. Or it's like having a kid, you're just never ready you just do it, and you just figure it out as you go.

Speaker 2:           Right I think for if you really wanna have a checklist, A have you made a profit on your properties. You figured that part out check. Are you understanding all the deeds and all the transfers and everything like that. Yeah. Check. Does it feel right in you? Check. You wanna be, you know what, this is perfect. You wanna be a little bit uncomfortable. You don't wanna stay at your level until you're complacent and bored. Then you'll burn out. You wanna push yourself a little bit. And I think that's where Mark is. And I think, I'm sure he's ready. And I'm sure Mark has 2.0 and he's probably watched it all this last weekend.

Speaker 1:           Yeah, he sounds like a ... Do you know who this is?

Speaker 2:           No.

Speaker 1:           He sounds like a go getter. He just can't get enough, and it can't be fast enough. I mean that's kinda how I am too. I've always been like that.

Speaker 2:           That's true.
