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 pushing past what's holding you back. This is a direct result of a conversation that Jill had with her... Well, you described where you got this topic [crosstalk 00:00:24].Jill DeWit:
It's the Land Academy ladies group. This is actually an upcoming topic that we're going to talk about. I think it's next week in our meeting. So, what it is, is if you don't know, I'll tell you. You can get in on this. For all the women, whether you're the primary person in your company or your secondary in your company, it's you and your husband or you and your brother or you and your sister, or you and your friend, whatever it is, it's for the women of Land Academy, we call Land Academy ladies. We have a weekly, closed zoom call where we get together. Guys are not allowed, sorry. And we talk about things that are unique to us. And this was one of the things that we talked about this week, and we're going to cover more in depth next week.

Steven Butala:Awesome. How did it go? It was the first time, right?

Jill DeWit:Oh my gosh, it was awesome. So much fun. And we had people there from Sydney, Australia. We had Hawaii, we had all over the U.S., you name it. And it was just a really... And we had all different backgrounds and all different ages and some with little kids and some way retired, almost. And this is just another thing they're doing. It was great.

Steven Butala:That's great.

Jill DeWit:Yeah.

Steven Butala:It's always coming up with something new Jill.

Jill DeWit:Mm-hmm (affirmative). It was really fun.

Jill DeWit:I was inspired.

Steven Butala:Awesome.

Jill DeWit:What's so funny... That's the whole thing. I kind of... This came about because people were asking about it and I wanted to do it. And then I walked away with like, wow, I can't wait to do that again. I'm inspired. And I had an aha moment. It was awesome.

Steven Butala:Good. Before we get into it today, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. I'm going to read the question today. We're going to answer the questions as we go, because this is a very, very, very positive, very good, realistic experience, I think, for what happens, even now with us today, when we buy land.

Steven Butala:Thomas asks,"I would like to know some strategies that others are using. I sent my second mailer in October. A couple of weeks, went by with no responses, so I sent another one out in November to a different county in the same state, when my lack of patience bit me."Steven Butala:
Every single time this happens to us.Jill DeWit:
It does. Even to us.Steven Butala:"I began getting several calls and sign agreements for my second mailer. I have one purchase in title right now, and another behind that one and possibly a third. I have had a massive response on my third mailer, where I can't even keep up with the calls, emails, and sign agreements. Many I pass over because of the lack of the five A's."Jill DeWit:
Yay.Steven Butala:"I have several deals lined up with my third mailer. Many sellers are in no rush, but I don't want to put them off. I can't handle the volume. What are some of you doing to delay purchases without seeming like a'novice'", in quotes,"which I am."Jill DeWit:
I think this is so great. Well, first, I want to say, thank you, Thomas, for picking up on the five A's or used to be four, and now there's five, because I added, alive, because that often comes up.

Steven Butala:We should say what the five A's are.

Jill DeWit:Okay. They are access, attributes, acreage, affordability, and alive. So,
