Jack Butala:                   Hey, this is Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow from Land Show. In this episode, Jill talks about the concept of a dress rehearsal but in terms of success and in our case in the land flipping success and the success of our members. Jill, I love this concept. You execute what you've learned but you're not really in front of an audience yet so if you fail, does it really matter? It matters but it doesn't matter. Jill DeWit:                            It matters. Just like it was I know days ago that we came up with this topic and I think it stemmed from some of the stuff that I'm doing on the side is how we tied it all together. I think I was just trying to say it's like what we're doing in Land Academy can be like college for life. It's having a mentor, having a teacher, choosing a path and having someone to guide you a little bit as you get rolling in this career and this life. Jack Butala:                   One of the things that I always see, and I'm sure you do too, with some of our younger members, not younger in age but newer members, they have their first deal jitters so they're concerned about getting that first deal done. I'm constantly trying to come up with creative ways to say, "It's okay. Just get the deal done." Get it recorded. Record a property. You know, buy a property. Put it in your name from a seller and then go through the motions of recording it to your spouse or something like that if that's kind of a deal jitter. It's a dress rehearsal. That's the way I look at it. Jill DeWit:                            Well, don't you think that's kind of similar in any occupation? Like, I'm clearly not an attorney, but I can imagine what if I was an attorney and I went to law school. I did everything right and then the day comes when I'm now handling my own case. I can imagine there being a little bit of some jitters. I can imagine someone saying, "I can't believe that everyone's looking to me and trusting me." You know what I mean? I have all this power now for a lot of things. I imagine it's true. Jack Butala:                   I guess you've got to cut the cord at some point in everything, right? You're going to be responsible as an, like in your example, for your first case. In accounting, you have your first client. I guess in healthcare, it'd be your first patient. Jill DeWit:                            Right. What if you're a doctor? You're no longer a ... is it an intern? What's that called? They're doing your ... Jack Butala:                   Residency. Jill DeWit:                            Residency. That's it. Where you have someone kind of looking over you but someday they do cut the cord and you're on your own. Now you're in charge and you're making the decisions and it's got to be scary. Jack Butala:                   Again, that's why we start a success plant because hopefully it eases ... You know success plant is a place where potential members or members go and they discuss what's going on in their land buying and selling career. I'd like to think that eases that anxiety, the beginning anxiety out of the box, I hope. Jill DeWit:                            I just thought of something funny. One way that you really don't get a dress rehearsal kind of thing is being a parent. You're kind of thrown in there. Sorry to all the number one kids out there, and I'm a number one kid. My mom used to say, "Sorry. We made all the mistakes on you." You don't get to dress rehearsal and practice that one.
