Ask Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our cash flow from land show. We show you how to buy property for half of what it's worth and resell it the very next day. Great information and instruction from Jack, that's me.
Jill DeWit:
And inspiration from Jill, that's me.
Jack Butala:
Here's some funny stuff that happened to us recently.
Jill DeWit:
Dexter. Would you care to explain Steven?
Jack Butala:
Yeah, we interviewed, Jill is interviewing God, I hope this guy doesn't listen to this show.
Jill DeWit:
I'm 99.9% sure he does not.
Jack Butala:
Jill is actively interviewing for a personal assistant, a personal/administrative assistant. We're getting some unusual people. I'm not going be real specific, but this guy reminded me of Dexter, the serial killer, on cable TV.
Jill DeWit:
That was Steven's, that was your feedback.
Jack Butala:
I was cracking our staff up.
Jill DeWit:
I'm here asking all these great questions.
Jack Butala:
This guy's pretty qualified -
Jill DeWit:
I know.
Jack Butala:
- but he's just got the, he's a sociopath, I think.
Jill DeWit:
Oh my gosh. I've never had you and I finish an interview and your first thing out of your mouth was, "Can we get a background check on that person?" I'm like, what? Where is that coming from?
Jack Butala:
It's Dexter.
Jill DeWit:
You asked for a background check.
Jack Butala:
That guy tripped my thing.
Jill DeWit:
Wow. Our staff complied, and nothing in -
Jack Butala:
Nothing, oh they really did, did somebody do a background check?
Jill DeWit:
Well, yes. There was a ... Through the place that's supplying us with candidates, I did talk to them and our girl ran a quick check, whatever. I don't know what she has access to right then and there, but I know she has all his stuff and his social and everything. She did it, she's like, "Well, nothing came back yet. I don't have anything here." Oh my gosh, it's the funniest thing.
Jack Butala:
I'm going to let this guy follow you around all day? I don't think so.
Jill DeWit:
Oh, yeah. Well, that was, in the end, that was one of three red flags.
Jack Butala:
That is funny as hell though, that you chose that for this part of this program. Don't hire sociopaths.com.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah, you know what? I should have said, and here's the thing, it's like dating. If you're asking yourself that question, you probably shouldn't go out with them.
Jack Butala:
Right. Red flag.
Jill DeWit:
Can we get a - yes, my red flag topic. Another chapter in another book. Or a whole other book. If you walk out of an interview and you are actually even asking yourself that question or anybody on your staff is asking that question, please do not hire that person.
Jack Butala:
That's going to be the If/then statement today.
Jill DeWit:
We did not. Oh, is it really? Seriously?
Jack Butala:
No, it's not.
Jill DeWit:
Oh, that's great. If you interview sociopaths, you will probably end up hiring one.
Jack Butala:
In this episode, Jill and I talk about fee for service, or scalability, you choose. Cube or beach? I'll explain in a minute. Jill, great show. Before we start, let's take a question posted by one of our members on success pant.com.
Jill DeWit:
Success pant. Steven typed that earlier. Success pant, I said, "No, no. Don't change that, leave it."
Jack Butala:
