Self Study Discipline Sets You Apart from Everyone Else (LA 1370) - a podcast by Steven Butala & Jill DeWit

Self Study Discipline Sets You Apart from Everyone Else (LA 1370)

Transcript:



Steven Butala:

Steve and Jill here.



Jill DeWit:

Howdy.



Steven Butala:

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



Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill Dewitt, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.



Steven Butala:

Today Jill and I talk about how self study discipline sets you apart from everybody else. We talked about this a little bit at the end of the show yesterday. Self study is not for everybody.



Jill DeWit:

No, I think it's not for most.



Steven Butala:

That's what I think.



Jill DeWit:

Yeah, and I think we're all experiencing that right now. If you have children right now at home going to school-



Steven Butala:

Jill, I didn't think of that.



Jill DeWit:

I think you really see it also. There are kids, I'm not kidding, I know I would have been that... You got to tape them to their chair.



Steven Butala:

I was that kid like that. Were you?



Jill DeWit:

Yeah. As a kid, I would've sucked at this. I did like going to school, though, I have to say. When I was growing up, going to school, sitting in the classroom, I enjoyed it. I did well at school. I was kind of geeky. I got good grades, kind of boring. I never ditched until my senior year, but this would have really been hard for me.



Steven Butala:

My whole take on school then and now was I really could be out making money right now, instead I'm sitting here listening to this old person. I say that now knowing full well that there's people listening to this saying, "I could be making money sitting here and listening to this old person."



Jill DeWit:

Yeah. Like us. Yep.



Steven Butala:

So my whole plan, we'll talk about it in a second here about this whole topic, is there's 10 massive barriers to success. Not even ironically, there's 10 massive barriers to success buying and selling land. One of them is this self study part of this. We'll get into what the barriers are and how to overcome them or how to determine whether or not this might not be the thing for you.

Before we get into it though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.



Jill DeWit:

Carly wrote, "Where do I go for Facebook help with ads and marketing? I've been posting ads for months without great results. I'd like to hire someone to just look at my account and ads and make sure I'm maximizing my marketing. I have received emails about my Facebook Pixel not being active, and I just need some overall guidance on the variables. Thank you."



Steven Butala:

All right. So before I answer the actual Facebook question, there's a much, much bigger issue here and it actually is very pertinent to the topic that we're going to discuss here in a second. The answers to every single question that you have, with the exception of what's the purpose of life, or is God real, is in your pocket or in your purse right now. Every single one. And so I get these kinds of questions from our kids.

Remember when you're a kid and it's like, "Hey, why don't you go look at..." You ask a question it's like, "Why don't you go look it up?"



Jill DeWit:

Yeah.



Steven Butala:

Didn't you hate that?



Jill DeWit:

I did.



Steven Butala:

I don't hate that.



Jill DeWit:

You know what I think that was? It was an answer for, "I don't know and I'm embarrassed to tell you." Seriously. "Jill, this is a learning experience. I think you should go look it up," which is code for, "Hell, I do not know."
