Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:
Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:
Happy Friday.

Steven Jack Butala:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I’m Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:
And I’m Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:
Today is Jill Friday. She’s going to talk about our Land Academy and how it’s a support group.

Jill DeWit:
It’s funny.

Steven Jack Butala:
Before we get into it, do you want to give a little prelude on what you’re going to talk about?

Jill DeWit:
Nah.

Steven Jack Butala:
Before we get into it, let’s take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It’s free. And don’t forget to subscribe on the Land Academy YouTube channel and comment on the shows you like.

Jill DeWit:
Steven wrote, “Results of the first mailer. Now that the recension date has passed … Now that I paid for all the mail, the education, the data, subscriptions, and a good chunk of change on top of that.” So let me back up and just, I want to explain this real quick here. So Steven said, okay, I joined Land Academy. I paid for the education, data, however many months of subscription for the data, all the mail I just sent. I sent out all these offers. And then we have a date, usually it’s like 90 days that, it’s either 60 or 90 days, that we suggest to have on there as an expiration date that the offer is valid for. Is it ready?

Steven Jack Butala:
On the actual offer that we send out to each person, there’s a date that says-

Jill DeWit:
Right, that’s valid for.

Steven Jack Butala:
… it’s valid for X date, and it all expires after that date.

Jill DeWit:
Right. So Steven is saying, the reason is he’s saying it like this too, it’s hard to track how well your mailer does because there’s so many things that come in after that date. Even though we say it’s expired, someone calls me up, I’m still going to talk to them. I still might buy it, even for years past that. It’s just a call to action. So Steven said, all right, no matter what, in this first time period, 60, 90 days, whatever he used. Oh my gosh, it already paid for all the mail, all the education, all the data, everything, and I’ve got money leftover. So this is like, congratulations, it’s perfect.

Jill DeWit:
He goes on to say, “I had someone call after the offer expired, and that is currently in escrow, as well as another property, which was offered by a seller after I closed on a different property of his. He has a third property for me after this one. This is already a life-changing experience. Thank you, Steven and Jill.” Oh, congratulations, and thank you for sharing that.

Steven Jack Butala:
It’s endless. It’s endless, the number of … We’ve sent millions of offers out and it’s just endless what goes on.

Jill DeWit:
I’m so happy.

Steven Jack Butala:
Today is Jill Friday. She’s going to talk about how Land Academy is a support group. This is the meat of the show.

Jill DeWit:
So, it’s interesting how this all came to be. So we, way back when, starting Land Academy, it was just us in an education program, answering as many questions as we could pretty much via email or maybe in social media posts and things like that. We quickly realized it’s better to help more than one at one time, and we created an online community. It was landinvestors.com, which is still there, and alive and well. Still online stuff. We’re still in social media things. And then it morphed into our weekly calls, morphed into Discord. And it’s just so much interaction. And where we are right now today, is everybody’s helping each other, and I love it. It’s so wonderful to me. The beauty of having a community is you don’t feel like you’re on an island. It’s so nice.

Jill DeWit:
I wish we had started with a weekly member call from day one because it would have been like right there. It’s just a calming thing. When you join Land Academy, you should immediately get on those weekly member calls because the first thing you see is, wow, there’s a lot of us that are all doing the same thing, all at different stages of life and where we are in this business, and we can all help each other and learn from each other. It started with our live events. I remember people showing up at the live events. They weren’t really interactive in the online communities, but when they came to the live event and sat in a room with everybody, they were all, “Wow, I really feel like these are my people. I can talk to them and they understand what I’m talking about. I can’t talk to my wife, can’t talk to my friends, can’t bring it up in a dinner party. Nobody gets this. I feel like I don’t have this.” So that really kicked it off.

Jill DeWit:
And then honestly COVID, I think really pushed it forward. People were more into engaging online and sharing and asking for help, because that was the only resource. Why is this even important? Okay, we get it, this community, you help each other, whatever. Well you know what? I’m here to tell you, there’s going to be times that you might feel like this is hard. You might feel that life is getting in the way. You might be needing some motivation. You might be needing somebody to bounce an idea off of, and just helping you get over fears and worries and concerns and just keeping you on track. That’s what our community has grown into. It’s more than just education. That’s my main point here. Land Academy is more than education. When Steven said a long time ago, he came up with this phrase, you’re not alone in your real estate ambition. It’s not just we’re here to show you, but we’re here to help you all along the way, including moral support, being another pair of eyes, and keeping you on track.

Steven Jack Butala:
I mean, think about what other industries/what other support groups. People join support groups, because just what Jill said, other people in their lives don’t get it. And it might be you’re going through an unfortunate experience with an illness, or it might be I need to lose 10 pounds or turns out I drink too much, or some version of that. So you’re not going to get sympathy … If you drink too much, you’re not going to get sympathy from your buddies at the bar. It’s not the place to do that. But there are people that are sharing the same experience with empathy and sympathy, where you can feel understood. So this is a logical consequence, although it was unattended on my part, for a lot of the personality types that join our group and they work their way, believe me, up to Career Path.

Steven Jack Butala:
It’s all misunderstood engineers and accountants and incredibly successful salespeople that have been talked down to by bosses for their entire lives. So these classes that we teach end up being some version of a support group. And boy, if somebody told me that when we started this, I would have said-

Jill DeWit:
No way.

Steven Jack Butala:
… even if that happens, I’m not going to participate. That’s just not how I’m wired. And now I’m the ringleader of it. It’s necessary, I think, let alone the technical part of it. Hey, I’m having trouble trying to get a mailer out. Can somebody help me? Everybody goes in and says, “Let me help you.”

Jill DeWit:
Exactly.

Steven Jack Butala:
And it starts in Discord. This is not a commercial for this, by the way. I’m proud of it.

Jill DeWit:
I am too.

Steven Jack Butala:
I’m proud of the support group part of this. It makes me want to start something called the Land Academy support group. Really, I mean it.

Jill DeWit:
Well, you know what’s interesting, I’ll say it now. I had one last note, which is there are people who I think are here and have been attracted to us because of the support first. Here’s a community that helps and encourages everyone, helps them with their failures, cheers with them on their successes. They haven’t even sent any mailers out, but they’re here for the motivation. They’re building up to when they, whatever it is, can overcome what’s holding them back to take some action. I know that there’s a lot of people just here, they’ve joined Land Academy, they’re inspired and they’re getting more inspired every day. And at some point, they’re going to take that next step.

Steven Jack Butala:
It could be just the camaraderie.

Jill DeWit:
Yeah. We have a good group.

Steven Jack Butala:
And I’ve said this before. I took a computer class in middle school and we all understood each other. It was a total elective in middle school. And I’m still friends with those people to this day because it was in the ’70s.

Jill DeWit:
Like-minded people. That’s the point. You are attracted to obviously like-minded people, and it’s great. That’s what this community is. We are like-minded people and we are all very helpful and generous and supportive like-minded people. I’m very proud of this group too. Happy you could join us today. Five days a week, you can find us here on the Land Academy Show.

Steven Jack Butala:
Join us next week for another interesting episode. You are not alone in your real estate ambition. Hey, if you want us to start a Land Academy support group-

Jill DeWit:
Yeah, let us know.

Steven Jack Butala:
… let us know down below or-

Jill DeWit:
Send a note.

Steven Jack Butala:
… send a note to support at landacademy.com if you’re listening. If you’re watching on YouTube, just put it in the comments.

Jill DeWit:
I really know that there’s a lot of people that are, because we can see, we can tell. There’s people that are just, they’ve joined and they’re still a fly on the wall and it’s been six months now. Now we need to take some action. So I think that’s part of what Career Path is too. Career Path, that’s one of the things that if you want to dive in or you’re struggling and you need that kick-

Steven Jack Butala:
That’s what I think it is too.

Jill DeWit:
… and you really need your hand holding a little bit, Career Path is a perfect place for that also.

Steven Jack Butala:
I mean, maybe you just need a place to vent. I can’t get the thing off the ground because I can’t balance my work-life scenario. It could be something like that.

Jill DeWit:
Another way is we have these free accountability groups that we put together every time we have … We have new members join all the time and then we batch them together and say, “Who’s in? We’ll set it all up for you so you can talk and help each other,” and it’s really nice because everybody’s at the same level usually, at least with Land Academy if they’ve all come in.

Steven Jack Butala:
I kicked around the idea of doing a sponsor thing. I wonder if that would backfire.

Jill DeWit:
What kind of a sponsor thing?

Steven Jack Butala:
Like an AA sponsor.

Jill DeWit:
Oh, pair you with somebody?

Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah. But the sponsor’s got to be up for it. They have to find their own way. You can’t match people.

Jill DeWit:
It happens anyway, but I get it. That’s cool. Thank you for tuning in. We hope you find our content valuable and we really appreciate your support. If you haven’t already, you’ve heard this before, please check out our YouTube channel. Hit the subscribe button. We are Steve and Jill.
