Jill DeWit: Hello.
Steven Butrala: 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 Butrala: Today Jill and I talk about how 19, geeze, date myself.
Jill DeWit: Wow.
Steven Butrala: How 2019-
Jill DeWit: That makes sense though.
Steven Butrala: ... is our efficiency year.
Jill DeWit: you could say how '19 is our efficiency year.
Steven Butrala: Oh, yeah, just '19.
Jill DeWit: We're going to go with that. Just '19, that's what you meant.
Steven Butrala: Yeah, like '75.
Jill DeWit: Right, not like 1989.
Steven Butrala: Or '93.
Jill DeWit: Yeah, '19.
Steven Butrala: All right, I'm calling it '19.
Jill DeWit: There, we're going with that.
Steven Butrala: Before we get into the show though, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill DeWit: Dallas asks, "So here's the lowdown. We're at the point that we can only hire one VA right now and have automated a significant portion of our CRM."
Steven Butrala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: Nice. "We've been doing some learning over the past year, also known as failing."
Steven Butrala: Good.

This is so great. This is Dallas. Did she Dallas? Wait, wait, go back up a second. If she said this is Dallas, I know.

Jill DeWit: I have something to say about this person. Here, just a second. Okay, Dallas, I'm so proud of you, this is hilarious. All right, so "a girl's got to set boundaries. So do you or have you before set standards," this is good, Dallas, and the answer's yes. "Or general rules on acquisitions or sales that helps you avoid a waste of time and money?" And yeah, we have.
Steven Butrala: Heck, yes.
Jill DeWit: "What are the standards or rules based on? Thank you all for your time?" Can I tell you who Dallas is?
Steven Butrala: Go ahead.
Jill DeWit: Dallas is the person who when I did the free ... I gave away a program for free.
Steven Butrala: Oh, the winner?
Jill DeWit: This is who won the program, uh-huh.
