How to Guarantee Your Success-Trust the Numbers
Jack Butala: Hey, Jack Butala here from Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow From Land show. In this episode, Jill and I discuss how to all but guarantee your success in land flipping, and it shouldn't be any surprise by now. It's all in the numbers.
Jill DeWit: Did you say "up the numbers"?
Jack Butala: No. I know that's one of your favorite sayings. Run the numbers. It's in the numbers. You've got to do the numbers.
Jill DeWit: I was thinking this was about upping your numbers. I was going to go on a whole different dating tangent on this one. Do you remember my brother gave me that advice?
Jack Butala: What? I think I'm vaguely recalling. It involves date a lot of men, and choose the one you want.
Jill DeWit: Yeah. Up your numbers.
Years ago, when I had got out of a relationship. I was single. I hadn't dated in a while. My brother said, "I'm going to do you a big favor." He sat me down, gave me a nice brother sister chat saying, "Here's what you need to do." I'm like, "All right." "You need to learn to date like a man." That's exactly what he said.
Jack Butala: Date like a man?
Jill DeWit: You've got to date like a man. I'm like, "Okay, great. What do I got to do?" He's like, "You've got to up your numbers." I'm like, "What? I didn't quite get that."
Jack Butala: By the way, we're going to put our financial success on hold while Jill shares her dating stories with us.
Jill DeWit: We'll get to real stuff in a second, here.
Jack Butala: Go ahead. Spend a couple hours on this. This success thing, that can wait.
Jill DeWit: Hey, this applies to everything, Steven.
Jack Butala: I know it does. Plus, it's way more fun to talk about you dating, anyway, than land and stuff.
Jill DeWit: It turns out, he was 100% correct. The point is, if you up your numbers, you have more to choose from. Don't get hung up on one guy or one deal. I'll bring it back in.
Jack Butala: Oh, that's good.
Jill DeWit: Have several deals to choose from, and then you narrow it down. I'm saying "deals", like men, and then you narrow it down from there. It's a beautiful thing.
I went on to teach all of my girlfriends, because they were incredibly interested in how successful I was with this. I taught every girl, "Don't get hung up on one guy", or one piece of property, because it's kind of the same thing. Have a lot to choose from, pick the best one.
Jack Butala: How many guys does it take?
Jill DeWit: I don't know. 10 or 20.
Jack Butala: I honestly would've thought, if you were a man, you would've said 100.
Jill DeWit: What? Well, again, we had this on the last show. Didn't we talk about that it's hard to find a good woman and a good man?
Jack Butala: We talked about your bad taste in men.
Jill DeWit: Well, there's that. That's why I'd up my numbers.
Back to the numbers. What did you really mean by that, Steven?
Jack Butala: How can I follow what you just said? I'm going to talk like a lecturer, all this boring stuff.
Jill DeWit: Wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah.
Jack Butala: Exactly! That's what everyone's going to hear.
Jill DeWit: You just put everyone to sleep.
Jack Butala: Everyone's dreaming of Jill dating.
Jill DeWit: Jill is fun. Steven is boring. Just kidding.
