Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:I am Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:And I'm Jill DeWit and this is The Land Academy Show.

Steven Jack Butala:This is episode number 2005 and today we are talking about a week in the life of a successful land investor.

Jill K DeWit:This is going to be good.

Steven Jack Butala:Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:So important.

Jill K DeWit:It really is. This is going to be touched upon today, but further explained in the future in some things that we're preparing for.

Steven Jack Butala:So I would argue that what we're going to talk about today, which is really organization and self-discipline and being an entrepreneur and a bunch of stuff like that ... And we'll get into a pretty good amount of detail. I think this is equally as important, probably more important than knowing how to buy and sell land.

Jill K DeWit:Having a plan.

Steven Jack Butala:Well and just executing your ... We're going to talk about a week in the life. So you can sit down and be the greatest planner in the world Monday through Friday, and if you don't execute it and have self-discipline about it's just not going to be as effective as you want.

Jill K DeWit:Well, today for me is really about what should I be doing every day? What do I focus on? And here's the reality. The reason we're talking about this is a successful full-time land investor, and we're going to talk about it that way because so many people in Land Academy have come to us, started out with W2 jobs, left W2 jobs, and now they're in it and this is how to organize your life basically and organize your week. But everything we're talking about today can be applied even if you're like Jill and Jack, I only have maybe two to three hours a day to throw out this and that's okay. So you can shorten it. The process and the steps are the same and how you think about your day-to-day stuff is the same. You're going to have to get a little more efficient at it.

Steven Jack Butala:Well, it's like everything. We can tell you how we do it very successfully. We can give you now, after 10 years of doing this, almost 10 years real core examples with people's first names on how they did it. In some cases more successful than us. But in the end you're going to apply it to your life.

Jill K DeWit:Isn't that interesting? You just said 10 years of Land Academy. But gosh, 25 something years-

Steven Jack Butala:30 for me.

Jill K DeWit:There you go.

Steven Jack Butala:It's 30 this year.

Jill K DeWit:Oh my gosh. It's 15 almost for me. That's a lot.

Steven Jack Butala:So we may or may not be qualified to talk about this stuff.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. There we go.

Steven Jack Butala:You decide.

Jill K DeWit:That's perfect.

Steven Jack Butala:Each week on the show we answer a question from our Land Academy member Discord Forum, and take a deep dive into a land related topic by popular request from our Land Academy community. Let's take a question, Jill.

Jill K DeWit:Okay. Cooper wrote, hi everyone. I am new to Land Academy and looking forward to getting to know this group. I started on my own several months ago learning from every free resource I could find.

Steven Jack Butala:Excellent. This is a great way to start off your career. There's so much free content out there, including this.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. Yeah. Go back and listen to the years of this.
