Transcript:
Steven: Steven and Jill here.
Jill: Good day.
Steven: Welcome to the Land Academy Show. Entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill: And I'm Jill Dewitt broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Steven: Today, Jill and I talk about how to get over the fear of buying property. Seems like such an interesting, funny, incredibly unnecessary topic, but I know it's-
Jill: Oh my gosh, are you serious?
Steven: Yeah, to me it does.
Jill: To me it's a necessary.
Steven: Yeah.
Jill: Unnecessary. Just because you have no fear and I have no fear, it doesn't mean-
Steven: Any fear of buying real estate at all.
Jill: I do not.
Steven: Have you ever?
Jill: No.
Steven: Neither have I.
Jill: Hold on a moment. That does not mean that everybody's that way. If it's one thing I have learned.
Steven: Well you just cut me off in the middle of the sentence, but that's okay.
Jill: I'm sorry. I didn't know you were going there.
Steven: You know what we should do that's so, it's going to be annoying to the listener, but really fun for us.
Jill: So sorry.
Steven: Every single sentence the other person says, just cut them off.
Jill: Not nice.
Steven: Go ahead, Jill.
Jill: No I didn't mean to do that.
Steven: It's not a trap, I mean it. Go ahead.
Jill: Finish your thing.
Steven: No, I can't remember what I was going to say.
Jill: Oh, well, sorry.

So what comes easy to us might be incredibly difficult for somebody and vice versa. So this topic came up because we have a lot of new staff right now, and I'm learning by watching how they're doing deals and what they're bringing to the table that adds to what Jill and I can bring to the table. You know, there's some concern about ... you know what I think this really shows really about, and then I'll let you take over, because I know you have a lot of notes. It's just insecurity, not about buying real estate, it's just like fear of failure.
Jill: Well I was going to say, I really saw it when we were talking about the topics. Not our people, the members. I talked to new members all the time. New and or thinking about jumping in, and this is one of their concerns.
Steven: Oh, okay, good. So it is necessary.
Jill: It is necessary. And I have a lot more to say when we talk about the show.
Steven: Before we get into it, let's take to a topic posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill: Joe wrote, "Hello, my name is Joe. I'm 28 years old, married and no kids. New to this site and learning about land investing. I'm very interested. This is definitely something I want to do. However, I don't really know the best path to take at this point in my life. I have a decent paying job, but I hate it." Poor guy. "I'm just now getting to where I can make a change. I either want to go back to college or go back into the military. Now that I've found this, I'm not sure if I should focus on getting a better career first and then working towards investing in land, or just use the job I have now to save and get started.
