Member Dallas Waldon on How Land Academy Improved Her Business (LA 961) Transcript: Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit:                            Hello. Steven Butala:                   On the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit:                            And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk with Dallas Waldon on how Land Academy improved her business. Before we get started though, I have a couple of non-real estate questions for you. It's Saturday, right, you're obviously dedicated to this or you don't have a life. Either way. Dallas Waldon:                  [crosstalk 00:00:31]. Steven Butala:                   What did you give up to do this? Jill DeWit:                            What could you be doing right now? Steven Butala:                   Are you wearing any pants? What's going on? Dallas Waldon:                  Okay, we're not gonna discuss my pants, but, we are really dedicated to just kind of improving ourselves all the time, my husband and I. So we really don't give up anything. I feel like this is our fun time. Working is our fun time. It sounds really lame though, I know. Jill DeWit:                            It's like working in your own business, so it's different. Dallas Waldon:                  Exactly. Jill DeWit:                            Cool. Steven Butala:                   Well I tell you, Jill and I started out like that, too, and that's not the case any longer. Jill DeWit:                            It is for me. Steven Butala:                   Jill's overt theme right now is when are we gonna have some fun? Let's get out of here and have some fun. Jill DeWit:                            Well there's different fun. Steven Butala:                   That's not true. Jill DeWit:                            Well there's different kinds of fun. That's very true. Love it. Steven Butala:                   Today's topic, remember Dallas Waldon shares how she improves her business through Land Academy. Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Steven Butala:                   Jill, go ahead with the questions. Jill DeWit:                            So we're glad you're here. I want to get a little bit of your backstory. So you were already in this business when you found us. So please tell us how long you've been doing this and how you got started. Dallas Waldon:                  So we got started in early 2018 and we really made every mistake in the book. We're millennials so we like free information. We were interested in real estate we found online, we don't have to buy houses because we don't have that kind of capital, and so we looked up different ways to do it. We did postcards at first. We sent out about 4,000 postcards and not one deal. So I like to call us ambitious beginners. So we just kind of threw everything we had at it and got started. Things really revved up by the end of 2018. Jill DeWit:                            That's great. Steven Butala:                   How did you choose land? Dallas Waldon:                  My husband's the idea machine. I kind of just go with whatever he throws at me and I kind of bring the human element to it. So he said, well, we could do land instead of houses. I said all right, let's try it. Jill DeWit:                            Perfect. You sound like me. He comes up with these crazy ideas and by the time it gets to me, it's pretty well thought through and figured out and I'm like, you know what, what have we got to lose? Let's just do it. Dallas Waldon:                  Exactly. Jill DeWit:                            That's so good. So tell us how did you find us? Dallas Waldon:                  I would probably say the podcast. Again, we are always trying to learn and listen to things, so we found your podcast and I loved listening to you guys.
