Happy Friday.



Steven Butala:

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



Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill Dewitt broadcasting from the valley of the sun.



Steven Butala:

Today is Jill Friday. And she's going to do a show called I'm going to have a good day damn it.



Jill DeWit:

So this, I started mentioning it yesterday. This is when we sat down. This topic came up as we sat down and in the morning. And we're thinking about a couple of days ago, what our topics are going to be for this week. And Steven very lovingly said, well, how's your day going to which I said, it's going to be a great day because I'm going to make it a great day. That was the whole point. So the title morphed into I'm going to have a good day damn it. So, because there's a lot in your control and that's what we're going to talk about.



Steven 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:

Shannon wrote as a newbie, I'm getting a little overwhelmed by the amount of response we are receiving. This method works. If you work it, not sure if it's because tax time is coming or what, but as a newbie, it feels we have dove into the deep end. LOL. I don't know who else says the mail is dead. It's alive and well, and people are opening up their letters. The hate calls are comical are also LOL what's the... Yeah go ahead.



Steven Butala:

All right. So here's the thing. This happened to me the first time I sent mail out. So I didn't know what I was doing. This is a lot of years ago, and this is long after I had a very successful tax deed tax auction business. I just tried to just send out a [mailer 00:02:00] Just to see what was going to happen. I sent a mailer out to very specific number of properties in a specific county, Mojave county, Arizona for a straight $500. Just trying to get to see if people didn't want the property anymore.



Steven Butala:

We got a massive response, as you can imagine. No one's ever... There's tens of probably 45,000 properties in that county. No one ever received a letter or an offer ever. And so we had a massive response and I screwed up everything, everything. If I could go back and do that, now we would probably do a thousand deals. But the whole time I did it with a smile on my face because I knew now it's possible. I knew, all right, on the next mail we'll solve this. And this is without Jill. This is with somebody like me answering the phone, which is not the best choice or answering the phone at all.



Jill DeWit:

Well, you did what you had to do with what you have to work with. That was it.



Steven Butala:

This person, what I love about this and why I put this in here, Shannon doesn't care what she's not saying, "Well, they're not doing this. And the salary's not doing this. And everyone hates. There's all this hate and everywhere. I can't believe. I never knew that these words existed." Let alone, has anyone ever said that. She's not saying any of that, what's she saying is, "Oh my God, can you imagine what's going to happen after I land three of these?" That's all she's focusing on Shannon you're going to be amazing at this. I'm sure of it. It requires that attitude.



Jill DeWit:

It's perfect for today.



Steven Butala:

Today's Jill Friday. I'm going to have a good day damn it. This is the meat of the show.



Jill DeWit:

So I was thinking about I've talked to people that are new to land investing,
