Transcript:
Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWitt: Hello.
Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWitt: And I'm Jill DeWitt, broadcasting from sunny southern California.
Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how and why we ... And when I say we, I mean Jill ... closed enrollment for 2019 planning.
Jill DeWitt: Cool. Want to hear something funny? Even though we're on our normal recording schedule ... This is totally off-topic right now.
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWitt: Even though we're on our normal recording schedule, I feel like I had a month off.
Steven Butala: That's how I feel.
Jill DeWitt: It's just the weird holiday period. I'm so confused.
Steven Butala: Do you like to be ... Would you just rather be off all the time?
Jill DeWitt: Yeah. Wouldn't you?
Steven Butala: No.
Jill DeWitt: Oh.
Steven Butala: No. I've forever, since I got over the fact that there's a Santa Claus topic ... I've always just, this time of year-
Jill DeWitt: You're just talking about holidays. I thought you meant in general.
Steven Butala: Yeah. This time of year is just a massive intrusion into the normal course of business. It's intrusive.
Jill DeWitt: Oh, your choice of words are just so amazing. I love it. It's like I see it as, "Oh, welcome break." And you're like, "Darn it. It's an intrusion. It's inconvenient, and a pain in the ass."
Steven Butala: I will say this-
Jill DeWitt: "Stupid holidays."
Steven Butala: ... there was no real break in revenue this December, for one of the first times ever.
Jill DeWitt: That's true. That is true.
Steven Butala: So ...
Jill DeWitt: We had a great, great December, and looking like a great January. I know it will be.
Steven Butala: Yeah. But just time off, I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's just me. Everybody needs a break, you know. I guess. Maybe I [crosstalk]-
Jill DeWitt: This is coming from the man that says, "I don't want to go in on Friday. Why should we go in on Friday?"
Steven Butala: That's true.
Jill DeWitt: Yeah. It's like, "We need to work." "But, I mean, let's not be crazy and do it, like, every day." God.
Steven Butala: Before we get into the topic, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill DeWitt: Okay. Kevin said, "Thanks, Land Academy. Hello, everyone. I want to take a moment to thank everyone on this forum." Oh. "Land Academy staff, experienced land investors, new investors, lurkers, and visitors. The people on this forum is what makes it great." This is really nice.
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWitt: "I learn things every day from new investors and old pros. I try to give back some of my experience when I can, and hope that I have helped a few of you along the way. I hope you make your business what you want it to be in 2019. Merry Christmas and happy new year." Well, that was nice, Kevin. I'm pretty sure I know which Kevin that is.
Steven Butala: Yes. Kevin is our-
Jill DeWitt: Yeah, it is Kevin.
Steven Butala: Our moderator.
Jill DeWitt: That was very sweet.
