I know for a fact that anyone reading this right now has dealt with someone who tried using the Dumb Card. Even if you don’t know what I mean by that, I know you recognize the signs. It’s the expression on someone’s face when you’ve asked for something, they didn’t get it done and now they’re quickly trying to come up with an excuse. It’s the fear of moving forward on a project or task and when confronted with why, they’ll tell you some poor story about not knowing how and instead of figuring it out they just did nothing. The worst is when you can tell the person just didn’t use their head and think things through. As a business owner it can drive you nuts working with people like this and it can also be a business killer if you, the leader, are the one pulling that card all the time. So, we’re gonna talk about all of this on today’s show and how to avoid it. It’ll definitely be a good one so make sure you join us!

Today’s topic actually comes from one of our long time listeners who made a comment about how they feel that their business performs better when they are actively taking care of themselves. If you know Justin or myself at all you know that we’re big proponents of staying active and being healthy both mentally and physically so we thought we’d shed some light on why that is and just exactly what we mean when we say this. If you listened to our last show you know that being an entrepreneur comes with it’s own set of stresses which is why this is such a good episode to pay attention to. Taking care of yourself doesn’t just mean being physically healthy, it means being mentally healthy too and if you don’t have an outlet that can help you work towards both goals then you may have some trouble coming your way.

Let’s face it, most of us have more free time on our hands right now than we’ve ever had in our life. The gyms are closed, the stores are closed, we can’t go sit down at our favorite restaurants and as much as I’d love to go find a bar with a rooftop and have a drink or two we all know that that ain’t happen. So what have we been doing with our free time? Are you sitting around watching endless hours of Netflix or have you taken this time to better yourself? Because at some point this is all gonna be over and we’ll return to our normal lives. The people that took this time as a way to learn something new, grow as a person or strengthen relationships will most likely come out ahead. So what have we been doing to get better you ask? Well.. You’re gonna have to listen to today’s show to hear that!

Most of the time we get answers like, “well.. I’m not sure how to properly do it” or “I don’t have the time or desire to do it” and those are really easy things to fix.

Seems like there’s been a growing debate in the investment world right now about whether you should be going big and buying as much as you can or if you should be acting conservatively and hanging on to what you’ve got. It’s an interesting topic because we’re in a market that nobody has ever experienced before. It’s crazy! Who would’ve ever thought we’d spend a couple months of 2020 in quarantine!?! I definitely wouldn’t have. In fact, I thought this would’ve been over the week it started. I was definitely wrong but some good things are still happening. Right now, in our business, the phones are ringing off the hook with people wanting to sell their land. What are we doing about it and what do we think you should be doing??? You’re gonna have to tune in to hear!!

Sometimes you send out a direct mail campaign and the sellers that contact you are ready to sell. They own the property by themselves, there’s no liens, there’s no heirs, there’s no whatever else you can think of. You just found a deal by putting out a blind offer and it came to you. Then there’s times you’ve got to create the value. You’ve got to put the work in that others may not know how to or may not want to. Sometimes those deals only require one extra form that the title company can handle for you. Other times if may take a little research on your own. Either way, by taking the time to find a solution to the problem you are creating value in a deal that may have otherwise gone through the cracks. Join us today as we talk about this and some of the things we’ve done to get a deal completed.

One way to help you stay out of trouble in your Land Business is to have a clear, set standard for the type of property you’re going to buy. We’ve actually talked about this in one of our earlier podcast episodes but we thought with all that is going on in the country right now that we’d revisit the topic and see if our criteria has changed. Sort of a REEEMIXXX (enter your best DJ voice or just listen for Justin at the beginning of the episode). It’s fun to look back at these every now and then and see how you’ve grown as a business. We definitely changed over the years, how about you?
