Already Successful Members Succeed (LA 940)
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 how already successful members succeed at this.
Jill DeWit: Love it.
Steven Butala: What the heck does that mean?
Jill DeWit: That's it. I wrote it down wrong. I put, "Already Successful Members Being Successful Here," which is still true.
Steven Butala: It's the same thing.
Jill DeWit: Same thing.
Steven Butala: So without exception, this is without exception, I was thinking about, because somebody asked me recently like, "What is it? Give me the profile of a member who really does well at this." And I said, "Well without exception it's somebody who's doing incredibly well at whatever they're working on right now. They just don't like it anymore."
Jill DeWit: Right.
Steven Butala: Here's a great example, I mean if you're an aerospace engineer and you're doing great at it, and you make a ton of money and you're just tired of it and burnt out, which happens to everybody, you're going to do great at this because you already know how to do great at whatever you're doing.
Jill DeWit: Remember we used to have a checklist? We used to say ... It started with what three things do people need to be successful members? We were almost stuck to a point where we were going to make it a requirement. I'll have to remember this, I was going to make it ... it was a long time ago, I wanted to make sure everybody was successful so we were going to pre-screen and interview people.
Steven Butala: Oh yeah, I do remember that.
Jill DeWit: And there were three things that we knew that they had happened.
Steven Butala: In fact, we did that for a while.
Jill DeWit: I can think of two of them, and I can't think of number three. So let me give you the first two that I could think of.
Steven Butala: Well let's save it for the show.
Jill DeWit: Okay. What if I forget it by then?
Steven Butala: I'm going to write these down.
Jill DeWit: All right, three things.
Steven Butala: Three things.
Jill DeWit: Okay, all right, all right.
Steven Butala: I'll remind you.
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Steven Butala: This happens with Jill all the time. "Let me talk, let me talk. I'm going to forget what I'm going to say. I'm forget what I'm going to say."
Jill DeWit: [inaudible 00:01:45]
Steven Butala: Like, in our regular normal life that sort of happens all the time.
Jill DeWit: You're a stinker. That's why.
Steven Butala: Did you ever talk to somebody, and you're sitting there talking to them-
Jill DeWit: Thanks a lot.
Steven Butala: You know they're not really listening to what you're saying. They're thinking about what they're going to say next.
Jill DeWit: Oh, that's not true. That is bad. Steven-
Steven Butala: It just happens only when ... When you have some-
Jill DeWit: Steven.
Steven Butala: It happens like 5% of the time-
Jill DeWit: Steven.
