As the process goes… You either find a property you want to buy or you have one that you want to sell and you go under contract on it. Great! That’s awesome. As part of this, it’s super common to negotiate a period of time that the buyer can perform further due diligence without the risk of losing the property to another buyer. This time frame is known as the Option Period. Is this a good or bad thing though? Are there drawbacks to them? Would you do a deal without one? All great questions and ones that were going to talk about today so join us and then let us know what you think.

In a world where social media has a dominate presence in our lives it’s so easy to get caught up comparing yourself to others. You see people driving super nice cars, you see them taking crazy trips, living in massive houses, etc.. Whether you want to or not, you can see that stuff and start feeling like you’re way far behind. The truth probably isn’t anywhere near that though. In fact, the standard millionaire probably looks nothing like what you see portrayed everywhere you look. This is something that has always bothered us and we just wanted to set the record straight today for people that are out there working hard. So join us today as we give our thoughts on this and how we really feel about all that glitz and glam.

The goals you set for yourself and how you’re going to get to those goals are super important to any business. For example, you can say you want your business to generate $10,000 / month but how do you actually get there? How much mail does that take? How many properties do you have to buy for that to happen and how much are you going to spend on each one? These questions are how we get to our end goal and we may not always think of these things. So join us today as we dive into this and talk about all the questions we ask ourselves on the way to our goals.

As entrepreneurs we’re constantly drawn to money making activities. That’s just who we are. When you have the drive to be your own boss you almost look at any business and wonder how you can be apart of it, make it better or scale it. That’s how our land business transformed into what it is today. We started with small desert lots and over time grew that into a company that flips million dollar deals. So when we see other lucrative opportunities that won’t distract us from our main business, we invest. That’s what today and possibly the next few shows will be about. So join us as we go down the rabbit hole of ATM investing and what this journey has been like so far. Then, if you like it, let us know because we’ve got other investments we can talk about as well.

Every few years something comes along in our niche and it seems like people really focus in on it for awhile. Whether it’s cashflow, CRMs, subdivides, etc.. they all seem to have their place in the land investing niche and some of these items have even become tools we wouldn’t want to run our business without. So what’s next? We don’t know for sure but we definitely have some ideas that we’re gonna toss around today and who knows, maybe you’ll like the idea so much you run with it. Make sure you give us some credit though!

Having patience in your business is one of the hardest traits to develop as a business owner. Nobody goes to work for themselves with the hopes of making their first bit of profit months or even years down the road. Sometimes though, that’s how it works out. When you have a new business without a pipeline you’ve got to get that up and going and in our business that means marketing, buying properties and then getting them sold. That obviously isn’t an over night thing so how do you stay motivated during this time? What are reasonable expectations? Join us today as we talk about this and other items we’ve seen not only in our business but our students too.

It happens to all us.. We start something new and we’re excited and we’re working hard, soaking up all sorts of information and joining groups and watching things grow. Then at some point we slowly stop doing those things as much and just settle in to whatever it is we’re doing. In business, this can be detrimental to your continued success so how do we handle this? Join us today and see how we feel about all this.

Here at Casual Fridays we pride ourselves on the trust we’ve built in the land community. That trust isn’t built over night and it’s not easy to do but we’ve accomplished it by going above and beyond on things like Project One and Two, throwing over the top live events (pay attention today because the next one may be coming up) and many other ways that we share our knowledge and time. Doing all of this has grown our business in ways that we never could’ve imagined and as we talk about this today, it isn’t to toot our own horn, it’s to hopefully shed some light on how you should be running your business. True growth comes from opening up and not being afraid that you’ll lose something by having others in the same arena as you. So join us today as we talk about this and just how much it’s grown our business.
