Jill DeWit:
The only way to increase your income is to increase your income.
Jack Butala:
Oh, I love it.
Jill DeWit:
Isn't that great? It wasn't Dave Ramsey, because I can hear Dave Ramsey saying that too.
Jack Butala:
I love that kind of stuff. That reminds me of ... I saw an interview with Larry David. He's the guy who produced the Jerry Seinfeld Show, and then he produces on a show after that ... I don't know, it was on HBO a lot of years ago. In an interview he said, "Look, if you're upset in your life," he's mostly talking about men, "If you're upset in your life there's two things wrong, either you get another woman or you change tax brackets, increase your tax bracket, and that's it." That's the kind of advice I think people can use-
Jill DeWit:
I like that.
Jack Butala:
-instead of hanging their baby or you really are a good person and stuff like that. How is that? Even if you're not a good person, the only way to change your income is to change your income.
Jill DeWit:
Uh-huh (affirmative). Exactly. I thought that was so good. I swear I want to put that on a shirt and wear that around. I think that would be really funny. I love it.
Jack Butala:
We did a show a while ago, Jill, really early on with a guy who ... He's a social media expert. I asked him, "How did you get your customers right when you were starting out," because that's a big thing for everybody. He said, "Well, I went out there and I got my customers. I called them up and said, 'You're going to be my customer, and here's why.'" It's the same thing.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah. I completely agree with that.
Jack Butala:
Jill, I love it. You amaze me. Sometimes there can be silly advice on this show, but I think that's some good advice.
Jill DeWit:
There were no crystals in that one. No tarot cards, no-
Jack Butala:
We're not sitting in Santa Fe or Sedona with peace pipes and stuff. We're in offices working.
Jill DeWit:
Exactly. Love it.
Jack Butala:
Join us in another episode where Jack and Jill discuss how to use information that's me.
Jill DeWit:
And inspiration that's me.
Jack Butala:
To get just about anything you want.
Jill DeWit:
We use it every day to buy property for half of what it's worth and sell it immediately.
Jack Butala:
Get there first. Make money to make money. I just think sometimes the best advice, I don't care if it's technical advice or inspirational advice or motivation, it's just really super clear stuff that you kind of know already, but it's like just do it then. Just do it, like Nike.
Jill DeWit:
It's stuff that we talk about a lot, because I really like his way of doing things with cash, is Dave Ramsey. Dave Ramsey is like, "What are you doing in the evening?" People will say like, "Nothing." He's like, "Then why aren't you doing something else?" Even if it's delivering pizzas, it sounds stupid, but you got to get yourself out of this hole somehow. You're going to have to go make some money, so take a second job. That's the way it is. What's really great too is he'll be really clear and say, "Well, or you could sell that car." They're like, "Oh, no, no, no," which is silly, but you have to do it.
Jack Butala:
Every time Jill and I do a live REI talk, and we do several now, the first sentence out of my mouth right when I get up in front of everybody is this, "Everybody just wants the truth." Nobody want's to hear this it's going to take ninety-two hour lecture and you've got to do all this technical stuff. There's a lot of real estate radio talk shows I've noticed....
