I'm Steven Jack Butala Jill: And I'm Jill Dewitt broadcasting from sunny Southern California Steve: Today Jill and I talk about, so you made a hundred grand on that last land deal, now what? Jill: I know what. Steve: Well. Jill: Do it again. Steve: Celebrate. Yes, first you need to take 10 minutes and celebrate. Maybe do shot of tequila or something. Jill: Yeah, tens good. Ten minutes is good. Steve: Whatever works for you. Eat a piece of chocolate cake, I don't know whatever works for you. Jill: What is yours? Steve: And that's the whole show. Jill: Quick. You want to celebrate? What? Can I have a budget? I made a hundred thousand dollars. How much money can I spend from my separation? Steve: You know, Jill and I made a huge amount of money one time on a real estate deal. You know what we did? Bought new computers. Jill: Yeah. It went to the business and it made us more effective and it, and I was just so happy. Yep. All right. Quick, you give yourself $500. What are you going to do? Steve: God, I haven't thought about something like this in a long time. Because usually I just go do whatever I want. Jill: I know but- Steve: For 500 bucks, what would I do? You know what I would do? Call up my buddies, probably bring you and your friends, girlfriends, and just pay for everybody's night out. Jill: That's very sweet. Well, now I feel like a little bit like a heel because mine's different. Mine is I call no one. Steve: Oh my God. Is this a spa day at that MZ diamond acquisitions? Jill: No because I have $500, it's just a spa day. That's it. I call no one, I turn off my phone, I leave it in the car and I'm gone for several hours. That's how I celebrate. Steve: Jill, I speak frankly, here. You should be doing that once a week anyway. Jill: I know. I should but spa's are kind of closed right now. Steve: Why don't you schedule that? Jill: Because the spa's are closed right now. That's, trust me, don't you, don't think I'm not, that's not on my list. Steve: Can't you have like a masseuse come to the house? Jill: I haven't really tried that hard but I could probably work on that. So, but thank you, that's not what this show's about. Thank you. Steve: Yes it is. This is about a hundred grand. It's totally about this. Jill: Okay, I guess so. Okay, yes because I just learned, I didn't know of any that would come to the house. And I just heard from somebody recently that they know someone. So that's in the works. But do you know what? I still don't want to do it in my own house. I have to go somewhere because I don't want to have to hide. And you know, I want to just, I'd like to go and be treated. Steve: You want to go somewhere and do that? Huh? What if I leave the house? And then- Jill: It's still not that great. I want to go be treated. Steve: This is interesting. Jill: You know what I want to do? Steve: You learn new stuff about your mate every day. Jill: I want to go to Terranea, or something equivalent, and just really have a nice, nice time. Thank you. Steve: 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. Jill: Okay. Mohad wrote, I've been practicing using Real Quest Pro to pull data in an area I'm looking to send my first mailer. Once I enter all the criteria and submit, it seems like a lot of the data I pull has some sort of housing on it. I'm entering in zero to 0% improvement and I'm still getting many buildings slash houses. I don't want to waste money on records with houses. I've gone through each land use to figure out which is pulling the records with the houses, but it looks like they are just blended in with several uses. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the houses, to be sure I'm doing something wrong? Steve:

What’s In This Episode: Brad: If you're sick and tired, and every time you think about your business it makes you go aah, that is a poor indicator of your business health. Brad: Welcome to Breaking Down Your Business, episode 357. Jill: No, no, no, no. No, no. No. Brad: You can find the show notes to this episode at breakingdownyourbusiness.com/357, beep, boop, bop, beep. Jill: What's happened to you? Don't make me shout it. Nobody's going to know who we are. Oh, gross. Brad: Jill. It's April. We're talking about numbers. So I thought that- Jill: So, that immediately means robot voice. Brad: Yes, exactly. Robot voice for the numbers. Jill: Of course. Totally makes sense.

Negotiation Starts with Common Ground (LA 1147) Transcript: Steven: Steve and Jill here. Jill: Hello. Steven: Welcome to the Land Academy show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill: I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven: Today Jill and I talk about negotiation, and how it starts with a common ground. Steven: I found myself last week talking to a vendor for a pretty expensive machine for offers to owners. We had, what I think, is a pretty diametrical disagreement. It doesn't matter. You always disagree with vendors and stuff. The whole goal for everybody is to try to get it back to center so they get what they want, we get what we want. Where does that start when everybody's going like this and arguing? Jill: I can't wait to hear the whole story. Steven: It starts with some type of common ground. I got the idea from a politician a lot of years ago who was talking about how to be ... Good politicians bring everybody together. They don't make people mad, or alienate people. They try to ... I read and I watched this thing about reaching a common ground first, and then moving forward from there. For instance, we all have kids, and all of us, we don't want them to die via nuclear Holocaust. Yeah, you hate me? Yeah. I'm not a real big fan of yours, but maybe we can make some legislation here where the kids don't die. Jill: That's great, babe. That was my first example too. Shoot! I was just going to toss that one out. Darn. Funny how we think alike. Steven: I honestly did. I was looking forward to ... I mean, I am looking forward to doing this show with Jill, because I hear her doing this all the time. I like to blindside Jill on this show. Jill: Yes, you do. Steven: I hear her say this stuff to these sellers. Every time I walk by her office, sellers or buyers, and she's saying this stuff. What she's doing is bringing them back to a center. "Hey, look. You want to sell it, I want to buy it." Jill: What's going to make you happy? Steven: Yeah. I guess really the thing is just kind of price, right? This is the kind of stuff she says. "If the only issue that you and I have is price, everything else we have, all this worked out, we can figure this out." that's the kind of stuff she says. How can you say no to that? Jill: Thanks. Steven: 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. Jill: Ivan asks, "Hi. Has anyone dealt with a rollback tax, and are these enforced? Are they addressed at closing, or will I get a large tax bill in the future?" Then it says, "If your land qualified for agriculture appraisal ,and you change its use to a non-agricultural use, you will owe a rollback tax for each of the previous five years once your land received a lower appraisal. The rollback tax is the difference between the taxes you paid on your land's agricultural value and the taxes you would pay if the land had been taxed on its higher market value, plus some percent interest is charged for each year from the date that taxes would have been due." So this was clearly- Steven: End quote. Jill: Right, end quote. The notice that he got. Then here he goes on to say- Steven: Here's the story to this question. Jill: Right. Where did this come from? Well, Ivan says, "I bought 50 acres that are ag exempt, but plan on selling smaller lots that are already plotted, some less than the required ag exemption size line limit, but now worried about this potential tax. Had a real estate agent bring this up, which has killed some of his deals in the past. I didn't believe it at first, but the above tax is directly from the county. Thanks, Ivan." Steven: So let me put this in layman's terms. He's saying rollback tax. I'm sure that's some legitimate term from somewhere. What it means is taxes in arrears. There's huge tax breaks for farms for agricultural property, because everybody benefits when people grow crops. We need to eat.

What’s In This Episode: Business owners wear too many hats. Systems turn the insanity into sanity. They help you (theoretically) to make sure everything gets done on time. "From a business owner's standpoint, what is your job?" - Brad As a business owner, what is it that you do? Business owners have to: sell. No one is going to sell as effectively as the business owner does. recruit and train. You need to be responsible for who's in the business. own the brand. What does the brand mean and is it consistent? do strategy. Where is the business going? Anything that you don't do should be the responsibility of someone else. That's where systems come in. "You don't own it because it's the scariest role to take on." - Jill What are you handing off in your business for someone else to do so that you have room to breathe? And are the materials your team needs easily accessible to them? Brad recommends getting a pack of notecards with one task that's written on each that needs to get done in order for your business to succeed. With your team or by yourself, arrange those cards by skill or tool. Each of the piles you end up with is a job.While you may need to do these tasks yourself, eventually you might be able to outsource to a VA (learn how to hire a VA here).

What’s In This Episode: Are salespeople the best or the worst? "If you really want to grow your business, don't keep it a secret." - Brad Catherine VonVanno of 20Four7VA calls in to discuss leads. So far, she's had warm leads but she wants to start reaching out to people who might not know of her VA service and go the direct marketing route. Does she try to handle internally, or go with a marketing agency to help?

Act 1 BETHENNY VS JILL IS IN THE PAPER Bethenny sits down with her assistant and reads that there’s an item about her and Jill being frenemies. The article references the Saks dinner that Bethenny wasn’t at.  The way fashion and the ‘press’ as they say played into early rhony seasons is unmatched by any other city. It’s so fascinating that these women were regularly appearing in the papers and we never found it weird. That’s something that’s specific to RHONY that I love.  It’s interesting that this article is about Bethenny pulling away from the rest of the cast, and here we are, with Bethenny having pulled away from the rest of the cast. It’s also interesting that we happen to be recapping season 3 which is Bethenny’s last season, and we only recently found out that this past season was also Bethenny’s last.  Bethenny thinks that Jill is responsible for this because the article favors her so much.  Bethenny is pissed because Perez Hilton reached out to her. He told Bethenny that she should hear what Jill has said about her. This probably happened at the party last episode. I love how all this connects. If you remember Perez Hilton made an appearance on the hills this year.  KELLY FLIRTS WITH A JOURNALIST Kelly immediately starts flirting with the Playboy journalist. It’s really uncomfortable. She’s all smiley but she has a GIANT smile so it’s actually terrifying.  Kelly asks him if he’s seen the shoot. She’s BEGGING for compliments. “Did you see the shoot? What did I look like, I can’t remember!” He asks if she’s reading any books and says he’s reading a new swedish novel called the girl with a dragon tattoo. Kelly’s response: I don’t have any tattoos. Ok that’s not what he asked. In interview Kelly says she needs to brush up on all of her ‘foreign’ literature. Kelly is OrRANGE. Like charred to a crisp.  They go outside and he asks her out and it’s SO uncomfortable. He said should we do this again? Less interview and more conversation? And she immediately is like WHAT?! Super anxious and wanting him to ask her out. He gets her number and they both go in the wrong direction and she goes, “I’m all nervous.” Honestly if this were anyone else I would think it was cute but Kelly is such a phony. It’s just all cringe.  LUANN AND VICTORIA TALK ABOUT LUANN DATING Luann watches Victoria sketch and suggests that she get her a ‘stage’ which is an internship. It’s hard to google if this true because you just get the word stage. I believe that Luann was using the right word. I just don’t know if it was necessary for this situation. Can you imagine the Luann of today using words like stage?! Victoria asks Luann if she’s dating. Luann says no one serious, but she’s ready to start dating seriously. Again, let it breathe Luann! She’s so eager to get back out there and settle down again. Marriage is Luann’s achilles heel.  ACT TWO ALLY ZARIN DOES A PHOTOSHOOT We’re coming off of last episode where Jill, her mom and he sister had a photo shoot for Jill’s book. I don’t know that I’m ready for Jill in another photoshoot situation. Kelly shows up.  Jill keeps telling Ally to shake it. Kelly comes up with what she thinks is a genius theory. By Jill being so over the top, Ally relaxed, so she look beautiful. I don’t think that’s true. If Jill was yelling at me off camera I would probably tense up even more.  Kelly tells Jill about the journalist who asks her out. Jill needs all the details. I have to say, when Jill dips into ‘dating advice mode’ I happen to love it. It’s so old fashioned but comforting. Even though Jill is a monster who blocked me on twitter.  Jill encourages Kelly to go out there and date. Kelly then asks in a very sort of sad and telling moment: Am I ever going to meet a nice guy? Ever? I do feel bad for Kelly because her singleness is the result of her having zero self awareness. I think men see her as beautiful and a prize, but there is nothing there to hold on to long term. Her grip on reality is a bit sketchy and nothing she says really makes sense.  ALEX HAS A MEETING FOR BROOKLYN FASHION WEEKEND THERE’S Alex! Where has she been this entire time?! I really do miss her when she’s not around.  Kelly Ramona and Bethenny help come and select dresses. Alex didn’t invite Jill but she does acknolwedge that we ‘had closure at sax’ Alex’s friend who is a designer is there too. Ramona laughs, “He’s wearing bracelets like a woman!!” Ramona is such a moron.  Bethenny asks how the Saks event was. Kelly hints that Ramona was mean to her.  Bethenny probes more. Ramona insists there was nothing mean about what she said, and that it was factual.  Bethenny in bite says Ramona has to take more accountability for her actions, and that diarrhea of the mouth is not a real ailment. This is hilarious because this is forever Ramona’s problem and will continue to be until present day.  Bethenny apologizes to everyone that they ended up in the news article from the beginning. Alex very earnestly asks, Did you plant it? Bethenny is shocked and says no, it has Jill written all over it. Ramona: Let’s not atack someone when they’re not here.  Ramona is tired of being caught in the middle. She doesn’t think that Jill would stop that low as to plant an article. OMG Ramona OF COURSE SHE WOULD!! Planting articles is the ESSENCE of Jill!  Ramona tries to move on from the subject, and Bethenny wants Ramona to listen to other people’s problems. Ramona accuses Bethenny of being a press monger, so who cares if she is written about?  Kelly doesn’t buy Bethenny’s innocent act and is going to speak up.  ACT THREE Kelly says that Bethenny did the same thing to her, and that Bethenny called her Madonna. That’s not even that mean!! Bethenny says Kelly has said mean things to her as well.  Bethenny is confused that Kelly called a truce and she’s starting in on her again. Alex is trying to mediate but its so sad to watch. Kelly thinks Bethenny is doing the same thing that Jill is doing, so Bethenny is a hypocrite. Ramona: I CAME FROM MY OFFICE IN THE MIDDLE FO TEH DAY TO DO THIS!! Ramona is more annoyed that she’s discussing brooklyn fashion week.  Alex: Today I brought you here to discuss fashion. If you want to help me sit here and pick fashion for the show then lets do that. Are you in or are you out?! CRINNNNNGE. She goes around and asks everyone if they’re in. Kelly and Bethenny said they’re in. Alex: Thank you. Let’s go. Alex thinks she’s such a bad ass and has this so under control. She literally glances up at the camera guy waiting for some sort of applause.  Simon arrives. Ramona shoots up and hugs him; she’s so relieved.  Bethenny wonders what she’s doing here; if she was ever going to pick fashions she didn’t think it would be at brooklyn fashion week. This anti brooklyn thing is such a staple of these early seasons.  The designers show their looks.  Ramona: “Just so you know, you want to do 100% silk for a dress, not poly satin for evening wear.” Interview: Ramona: And that’s the difference between Brooklyn Fashion week and new york fashion week. BURNNN Ramona goes to try on the yellow dress. Kelly moves over to Bethenny. Kelly: “I want to make it clear… I don’t care.” They re-apologize. Ramona and Alex come and interrupt in dresses. They continue their patch up. They hug it out. Kelly: I called a truce. I said the conversation is over. ...you started the fight! You didn’t call a truce!  So for those keeping track, this is their SECOND makeup… and scary island is still around the corner.  RAMONA AND JONI AT FIG AND OLIVE Joni Joni Joni… shit talker of Ramona! She’s so up her ass at the same time.  Ramona talks again about renewing herself. Ramona very awkwardly pivots into wanting to renew her vows. This to me is probably when Mario’s eye started to wander.  Ramona interview: Joanie is a really good friend. Wait til you see episode onnnnne.  Ramona talks about how her father passing away is the reason she wants to renew everything. This again is when Ramona is the most authentic. Ramona says her grandmother used to live in brooklyn and maybe that’s why she doesn’t like going there.  What’s crazy is Ramona says that she saw him over christmas and they finally connected, but then he died two weeks later. And as we know after this season, she wasn’t in the will. That has to be hard!  AT KELLY’S APARTMENT Kelly over her computer pretending she’s so busy.  Kelly talks about the guy she’s going out with. Kelly reflected back on it and realized she doesn’t want to mix business with pleasure. WHATEVERRRRR he probably stood her up. Kelly says Gilles Bensimon was her Mr. Big.  Kelly gets an emil from Jill. “Hey a little birdie told me you were all good with Bethenny. I sadly am not. I thought you really cared. Good luck, you’ll need it with B. -Jill.”  Kelly weirdly has great perspective on this and realizes that Jill is putting her in a bad position.  ACT FOUR PODBUSTER: Mario and Ramona are presenting Tru Faith jewelry to a group of women that are going to represent their line. Ramona is so anxious and talks so quickly. It’s stressful.  LUANN COMES OVER TO JILL’S Luann is staying in Jill’s since she doesn’t have a place in nyc yet.  Jill tells Luann she has to change outfits. She’s so anxious… Luann got Jill a gift. It’s massive chalice that says GO BIG OR GO HOME. It’s hideous. I wonder if Jill gets the memo that everyone thinks she’s over the top and tacky AF.  Bethenny calls Jill. Jill puts her on speaker so Luann can hear. Bethenny asks Jill why she’s on speaker, Jill says she’s doing a hundred things so she needs her hands. IT’s soooo awkward because Bethenny is like who is there? Is it intentional that people are around hearing? Jill is sooo sneaky and shady. I mean she looks so bad.  Bethenny: In light of the disproportionate nature of this argument I think we should sit down and talk about it. Jill: What does disproportionate mean? Bethenny doesn’t understand why Luann has heard about this message. Jill is super cold and doesn’t think it’s important for them to discuss why this argument is so big. Luann is sitting there listening making faces.  Jill wishes Bethenny the best. She brings up Bobby again and how Bethenny never asked about Bobby despite sending flowers. Jill says I will never forget what you said, I could quote it like it was yesterday. Umm you saved the message!!   Bethenny: I reached out to you about Bobby and you ignored me. Jill: You think that might ahve been a sign?! Jill is making NO Sense at this point.  Bethenny brings up again that Jill was running around all summer so she can’t believe Bobby was that sick. That of course is the last straw for Jill because it’s true, so she hangs up, leaving a crying Bethenny on the street.  ACT 5 Post call… Jill is sweating because Bethenny gives her anxiety. Luann is such an obnoxious cheerleader and just wants Jill to stay by her side.  Jill: Where was she just now to say, aside from everything Jill, how is Bobby? It’s soooo fake that Jill is using bobby. Jill truly doesn’t care.  NEXT EPISODE… Brooklyn bridge scene!!! Alex going to Jill and cryptically saying Bethenny’s father is dying and she should check in. Ramona orhcestrates Bethenny and Jill’s conversation. 

Jillian Jones is a recording singer and songwriter. She's been singing since she was 4, played piano and went to school for a music degree. After getting married she put music on the back burner. She spent 5-6 years away from music completely. During her second pregnancy she had a rough pregnancy with months on bedrest, two days her son was delevered healthy, she was diagnosed with a health scare and that was the catalyst for postpartum anxiety. It was during that time that Jill spent a lot of time in prayer, having to give up control and having to relearn who I was. He made it clear that aside from being a wife and a mom, that I was a musician. She hadn't been a song writer before, but she started there and two albums later, here she is. More from my conversation with Jill: What it's been to be a musician and step into that calling. Getting through postpartum anxiety. Slowly reintegrating music into her life. Obedience in the journey into becoming a recording artist. Life as a recording artist. The life cycle of recording. How Jill stays fresh in her relationship with God as a Christian artist. What her previous album was about. Struggling with faith and doubt and being okay with that. What her next album is about. *This is an affiliate link.

Produced by Aaron Ankrum (Aerial View Studios, Minneapolis, MN), the 10-song record features an eclectic blend of piano-driven pop and acoustic singer-songwriter styles reminiscent of Nichole Nordeman, Christy Nockels and Sara Groves with writing that’s honest and accessible for her listeners. Jillian’s love of music began at a young age while singing and playing piano for area churches, events and festivals. Years later, following the birth of her second child, an experience with postpartum anxiety served as a catalyst for the next season in her life. It was then that music became her healing outlet. Shortly after, she began writing music with the intent to record and share her story through song. “I believe that music connects us to each other. Through it, we discover shared joys and struggles, and those common threads remind us that we are not alone.” Jillian lives in Minnesota with her husband, Blake and their two children. In addition to music, she enjoys photography, woodworking, and spending time with her family on the shores of Lake Superior.

What’s In This Episode: As Jill and Brad close in on nearly 5 years of podcasting and almost 300 episodes, they reflect on how to increase your creative output. "Here's a growth secret: Don't keep your business a secret." - Brad If you've got a business, you've got to be creating things to put out into the world, Brad says. Jill hates the question, "How do you do it?" because she wants to ask the same question back. At The Founding Moms, Jill writes a daily email, she hosts this podcast, she has a monthly video course, a monthly webinar, a weekly Facebook live... she creates a lot. How? She does it with the help of her team, scheduling, and implementing systems. Brad recently upped his monthly email to 3x/week and finds it easier. Writing once a month was stressful but writing every week has just become something he does. And it doesn't mean that he's always inspired to write, but with practice, everything becomes easier. They liken it to going to the gym: if you do it consistently, you just get used to it. In fact, Brad doesn't really believe in inspiration. Jill does... and thinks that you can even find inspiration in your competition. "You can't run a business without creating." - Jill What drives someone to create? This leads to a discussion around content, a word that Brad hates. People don't consume content. People don't create content. What they do is inspire, teach, and entertain. How does someone do all the things they have to do? Where do they get the energy? Jill says that as long as she's communicating, she's fine with it. She was nervous about things when they first got started, but over time it's gotten easier. And the more you create, perhaps the more efficient you get. How do you increase your creative output?

What’s In This Episode: Happy 2019! Jill’s got a brand new book called The Best Business Book in the World (*according to my mom)! For anecdotes, biz tricks, tech tips, and tools, you can get her book on Amazon. Do you ever think to yourself, "I really wish I could talk to Jill or Brad for an hour about MY business?" Now you can! Sometimes you just need a little help, or you have a question to ask that’s been bugging you. You suspect that it’s not really a whole consulting engagement — you just need an hour to talk something overwith someone who understands and can provide perspective. Book an hour with Brad here.  "When you're starting a business, it's important to have a lot of ideas because you don't know what's going to work." - Brad Blogger, podcaster, and entrepreneur Gresham W. Harkless Jr. calls in to talk about his focus problem. He has a lot of ideas but how can he laser focus? Jill suggests he use a whiteboard and write it out and test it out on his podcast or social media. Brad suggests Gresham pick one thing and do it over and over and get known for it. And use his creativity to sell exclusively to one client. "As you're honing your entrepreneurial instinct, you need a lot of feedback." - Jill What are your 2019 resolutions? Our producer, Saul, wants to react to situations in a more controlled and measured way. And say "no" more. And finish his album. Jill's business resolution is to have more interest in accounting. And maybe figure out what's happening with analytics (even though she won't say the word). She's also going to raise her prices. Brad doesn't make resolutions, but he is interested in changing his habits. So he's going to try to cut out sugar 5 out of 7 days a week. On the business front, he's upping his email game.
