Sticking to a Calendar Schedule is Imperative (LA 1316)

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 DeWit, broadcasting from sunny, humid Southern California.



Steven Butala:

Today, Jill and I talk about sticking to a calendar schedule and why it's imperative. Boring, but completely necessary and possibly fatal if you don't do it, I think.



Jill DeWit:

You know what's interesting, is when we were talking about this topic, I was thinking of a different version of this. This is cool because I think this is how we are different. What I was referring to was being consistent in things, and how you interpreted that is putting it on a calendar because that works for you. Does that make sense?



Steven Butala:

Yeah.



Jill DeWit:

So, I'm excited to talk about this a little bit because, just like most men and women, we see things very differently, interpret things differently.



Steven Butala:

That's people in any relationship.



Jill DeWit:

Or just men and women. I don't care if you're related, or don't have to be in a relationship or not. We're going to see things... I say whatever. I say teal, and you go, "Hmm, green." Not you, but...



Steven Butala:

I thought you guys were going to talk about real estate. I thought the show's about real estate. I'm a first time listener. I'm not here to talk about calendars. I'm here to talk about making money in real estate. Tell me how to do it quickly. I have other stuff to do today. No, I'll tell you what, the truth is, I'm joking around about it, this topic comes up. It's one of the top five topics that I deal with inbound from people asking me questions. And it started on our first live event. I did a module about getting organized and people just, we spent three times the amount of a lot of time on that during the presentation in the live event, and it just keeps coming up.



Jill DeWit:

Well, I think people take a step back and go, "How are you so successful in what you do?" And a lot of it is there's a healthy mix of A, being smart and knowing what we're doing, and B, just getting up and doing it. That's the point. And that's where the calendar comes in.



Steven Butala:

Yeah. Well, we'll get into it in a second, but there's a huge component of outsourcing when it's necessary and then managing the outsourcing correctly. And I borderline want to do an education... I want to do a two hour education thing on it because, and I don't have any formal training in this. I just know from screwing stuff up all throughout my career that, wow, I can't do that again. Or we got into this and it was too much because of X. 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.

Lucas wrote, "Hey folks, I'm planning my first mailer. And I had an idea, but I'm not sure if it's a good one or not. I was thinking of adding a professional headshot of myself to the top of the first page of each letter. Not sure if offerstoowners.com prints in color or not, or how well the print quality would manage a photo. I was thinking it'd be valuable to add a personal touch to the letter. Has anyone here tried that? Was it beneficial? What do you think? Thanks." Do you know what my first thought is? What?



Steven Butala:

I'm talking to the camera.



Jill DeWit:

Oh. Well, I'm over here. Okay. Do you know what my first thought is though?



Steven Butala:

Go ahead.



Jill DeWit:

I'm on the fence. My first thought is,
