Jack Butala: Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow from Land Show. In this episode Jill and I talk about what we learned about customers, as volunteers for a our local PBS station. Jill wasn't that a blast?
Jill DeWit: It's hilarious that was so much fun.
Jack Butala: We need to share the whole story with our listeners but before we do lets take a question from a caller.
Jill DeWit: Okay, Jeff from Chicago called in and asked; by the way he used 888 735 5045, to leave a question for us. All right, Jeff's question is, "I've been attending local REI meetings", that's Real Estate Investor meetings. "I'm still confused and not got my business off the ground. What is the best first step?
We have a number of individuals that are out there trying to find answers in a variety of ways. You know Steven, before we started doing what we do now.
Jack Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: I mean, we looked for answers.
Jack Butala: That's a great question.
Jill DeWit: Its hard to find one good place to get all the answers and so what would you like to say?
Jack Butala: You know what I notice about these REI meetings, and I haven't been to very many of them, I never went to these before I started. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't some people go to these things and they get a lot out of it. My policy, always about everything not just this, is more education is always better.
Jill DeWit: I agree.
Jack Butala: I don't want to sound like your father but go to the meetings.
Jill DeWit: You get something out of it.
Jack Butala: Try it and you may never go again or you may keep going for the rest of your life. Kind of like an AA meeting, maybe its appropriate for you, maybe its not all that, you decide.
Jill DeWit: Steven have you gone to an AA meeting?
Jack Butala: Not going to answer.
Jill DeWit: Like an AA meeting.
Jack Butala: My experience with a lot of these meetings.
Jill DeWit: AA, REI, whatever pick one.
Jack Butala: Which acronym fits for you? No, I think sometimes I look at the titles of these things and then I choose that way. Would never go to a meeting that's titled like this, "Jack attorney talks about deed trusts."
Jill DeWit: Right, "The proper way to file ..."
Jack Butala: "How to start an LLC."
Jill DeWit: Oh god.
Jack Butala: If you want to fall asleep, go to something like that.
Jill DeWit: Right.
Jack Butala: I had enough of that in college. If a local celebrity multi 'bajillionaire' is going to give a talk and talk about his career and stuff. I would go to that. If not anything, reason to meet the guy.
Jill DeWit: That's good.
Jack Butala: Anyway what's his question?
Jill DeWit: What's the best first step? It's as he's been attending them, he's still confused and he hasn't really got his business off the ground. What's his best first step?
Jack Butala: Get our e-book.
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Jack Butala: Our whole business plan, we don't talk enough about that Jill.
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Jack Butala: Our whole business model is in that free e-book. It's on landacademy.com
Jill DeWit: That's true.
Jack Butala: I would take that first step. If you still have question and you probably should. We're not plugging our stuff here, we're just having some fun but those are the real answers. We're telling the truth here. We always do, Jill and I always do.
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
