And how do we look past our own good intentions to make sure we are actually doing good work? For this episode, we’re excited to welcome an expert in the field: Scott Todd.

 This episode of the Practicing the Art of Faithful Presence podcast features host David Wright, president of Indiana Wesleyan University, as its guest. Scott Todd, executive director of marketing communication at IWU, serves as the episode’s host, and helps listeners gain valuable insight into David’s life, mission, and purpose. In his role as president of IWU, David has the privilege of spending a lot of time with both people of faith and unbelievers. He has noticed that many unbelievers don’t even know any Christians in the public sphere, and this realization sparked Practicing the Art of Faithful Presence, which aims to help Christians share their stories about how their faith impacts their work in the world.David was born in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, where he lived with his family until he was 15. David’s parents moved to the Philippines as missionaries in 1951, and David spent his formative years watching his parents work at a Bible college campus on the island of Luzon. David had no personal knowledge of the United States until 1970, when he and his family moved to Marion, Indiana, and David enrolled at Marion High School. Following high school graduation, David attended IWU (then Marion College), where he met his now-wife Helen. The pair met attending church revivals together, and spent years abroad doing missionary work in Haiti and England post-graduation. David and Helen now have two daughters and four grandchildren. While a student at IWU, David never expected that he would eventually become the president of the institution. He planned to become a pilot, until he took the intro to Bible course at IWU with Dr. David Thompson. In that class, God began opening his heart to study the Bible, and David decided that he would like to teach Bible one day. After graduating with his Christian Ministries major and spending a few years abroad, David was recruited to run the masters program for ministers at IWU, which eventually became Wesley Seminary. Besides three years that David spent in California, he has been working for IWU since 1994. David’s dream job at IWU was the provost position, and once he had secured it, he thought he would retire in that position. However, when IWU’s president decided to retire and David was chosen as the replacement, David decided to do the job “with all of his heart.” The hardest part of the job, David says, is the weight of the responsibility of this wonderful place that serves 14,000 students and 2,500 employees. However, there are so many joys that come with the presidential position; David loves the students, the faculty, and the staff, and loves to see God working in their lives. It is one of his greatest joys to watch alumni go out into the world and see their lives be testimonies to the power of God. While the post-COVID world looks bleak for higher education, David is not pessimistic about the future. He states that IWU has responded to the challenge magnificently, and that challenges like these are when we do our best work. He highlights three challenges that will face IWU: 1) the changing sense of the value of a college education in the world, 2) the economic challenges in the US, and 3) the challenge of staying faithful to the mission of and God’s purpose for IWU. IWU’s goal is to provide students with a Christ-centered foundation on which to live their lives. David believes that to fully understand God’s world, you must experience the “tapestry of culture and people that God has created.” David is committed to the belief that you must be exposed to the people and the thinking of many different cultures; every belief isn’t right, but every belief is valuable. To end the episode, David shares a passage from the Bible that has been a “touchstone” for his life ever since God gave it to him: Isaiah 41:9-10, which says, “I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”Links:Learn about Indiana Wesleyan University and its president, Dr. David Wright.Connect with David on LinkedIn

They go over the advantages and the disadvantages and all weigh in on how much emphasis you should put into building one to make yourself look more professional. To sum it up—Websites do have some advantages, they give you the opportunity to post content about yourself, making you look more legitimate. You can also send leads to your website to see your inventory. But… there's always a but, there are professional investors that run their businesses without having a website. And rarely, does someone stumble across your site and buy land from you. So they are not a necessary component of your business success.They are however a lot of fun to build, for some people, but when you're first starting out, your focus should be on the things that WILL move the needle in your business...MailingMarketingList buildingWebsites should be worked on after everything else is done. “Do you really want to spend the money trying to crack Google and Facebook ads to send cold traffic to a website when you can, for free, use a trusted platform and build your buyers list that way, which costs nothing?” Finally, Scott Todd tries his best to bait Mark into sharing his thoughts on having both a buying and selling website.

Just a year after starting their land investing journey, our guests have completed over 30 deals and have $2,500 a month in passive income coming in, working just 5-10 hours a week on the business... they were able to pay for Flight School with their first two deals.Land Geek students, Evan Bollier and Chloe Bawmann, join us on today's show to talk about what their journey has been like so far and what their future plans look like.In the summer of 2017, Evan had just finished his MBA and felt he needed a little more direction in his life. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go on to a PhD to start teaching full-time until he picked up the book, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.That book inspired him to take a deep dive into real estate and down the rabbit hole of podcasts where he came upon one featuring Mark… and it all made sense to him. Now, he just had to convince Chloe.So, Evan took Chloe on a cruise where he got down on one knee and proposed to her...will you be my business and lifetime passive income partner and make beautiful 300% to 1000% returns with me?Chloe said yes, and while a little skeptical at first, she attended the next Bootcamp with Evan in Orlando. It was there, sitting next to someone who was selling properties while Bootcamp was in session, that she knew that if anybody else could do it, so could they.Timeline of SuccessionBought the Toolkit in September 2018Went to Bootcamp in October 2018Signed up for Flight School in November 2018Bought their first property in December 2018Paid off Flight School during the last week after selling two propertiesListen in to find out the details behind:Their first dealTheir favorite dealWhat they would have done differentlyTheir favorite and least favorite parts of the businessTheir preference between cash and termsChloe also talks about how it was Mimi's podcast, The Little Tortoise With Big Grit, that had inspired her and moved her to tears. Her advice to those who are skeptical or don't know which course of action to choose...I would say not to overthink it. If you can only afford the Toolkit, then at least get the Toolkit. And if you can afford Flight School then you should definitely do Flight School. But, I mean stop complaining I guess, just do it and stop overthinking. Evan is the biggest over thinker I know and if he can do it and stop overthinking then I think anybody can do it.Failure is not an option—Evan & Chloe both have the mindset that the only way they are going to fail is only if they stop and they have no intentions of stopping. They have seen that this model really does work if you are committed to making it work.Their success is summed up to:They have a why—they're trying to solve a problemThey have direction—they know what they want and what they have to do to get thereMental fortitude—They know the only way to fail is if they stopPerseverance—The aptitude and commitment to keep going even through the roadblocksI felt like I was a little directionless, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Now I know exactly what I want to do and I couldn't be happier doing it. I love this Land Geek community and I love working with Chloe. And, oh yeah, we have fun. -EvanThey jumped in with both feet, took action, and continuously plowed through one roadblock at a time, clearing their path to passive income.And, even though both still work their full-time jobs, Evan & Chloe talk about how life has changed for them, giving them hope and a sense of direction. They can see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and know it's just a matter of time before they reach it.TIP OF THE WEEKMark: Learn more about Evan and Chloe at ParadiseParcels.com. Email them. Ask them about Flight School, ask them a question that I didn't get to on the podcast and have them give you the inside scoop of what we like to refer to as the DHR method of Scott Todd's Flight School program.Scott: I think everybody should read or listen to, Talking To Strangers: What We Should Know About The People We Don't Know by Malcolm Gladwell. We all think that our messages are being received or communicated properly. Or worse yet, we're able to understand people but that may not be the case. This book will help improve your communication.Evan: Get an old fashioned piece of paper and pen then write down your goals of the week. I've got a little notebook and Chloe and I spend 30 minutes each week every Sunday and we write down our goals for the week. On one side of the piece of paper we have our business goals and on the other side we have our life goals. It feels incredibly good to cross things off one thing at a time and it feels really satisfying to see just how one small thing can make a big difference. We've even taken it a step further and we do this quarterly as well. So on our fridge we have one month at a time.Chloe: I recommend reading the book, Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life - Before 8AM by Hal Elrod. That book totally changed my life. Evan has always been a morning person and I don't like to get up in the morning but we get up consistently now at 5:30 before we go to work and it gives us time to work out, talk to each other, figure stuff out and then go to work so that when we come home we can work on this business together and we move together instead of having other things that we need to focus on.Isn't it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?

Find out the technique she implemented in advance to get such a high percentage...a method Mike dubbed, The Nancy Drew technique and took notes for next years campaign.Sales were great for Tate, he may not have got 40% open rate, but he did sell all of the properties he had listed for just under 65,000 worth of enterprise! Not too bad for a day's work!“Don't be upset, don't be discouraged, you've got to consistently show up. If you ran a Black Friday or Cyber Monday campaign and you didn't have the results you wanted, learn from them. Look at what you could do differently, make changes. There is no secret formula or recipe to marketing, you've got to try everything multiple times and learn from it every single week.” -TateThe team also talks over:Standing out in a noisy Black Friday marketplace when everyone's email is inundated with dealsNurturing your listThen, Scott Todd shares his two-step process that will ensure your emails aren't getting sent straight to the spam folder. It was a process that left everyone with their mouths open and taking notes!“Do this two-part email process, you know it's going to be delivered and then you're going to really spike up your open rates and start approaching Mimi numbers.So if you're listening to this, please implement that even if you have a small list. It's just a good habit to get into and I think it makes it even more intentional with your list as well because at the end of the day that is your best asset. Spending that little extra time increasing your deliver-ability and increasing your open rates can make a huge difference to the bottom line.” -MarkYou're not going to want to miss this very informative episode that will not only help your future Black Friday campaigns but all of your email campaigns and buyer's list management throughout the year!Also, find out why it was discussed that the title of this episode should be called, HATE.TIP OF THE WEEKMimi: For tax purposes, check out these rules behind a Roth Conversion.

This is nacho typical Round Table episode—First, some serious gratitude, then some serious fun! Having the time and money to live their best lives, Mark asks the guys to dig deep to get to a more personal and intimate level to find out what they are most grateful for, that this business provides them.Joining Mark are: Mike ZainoScott BossmanTate LitchfieldScott ToddHere is a little sneak peek into their answers... Mike—To me it's time freedom. Everybody knows I still work the fire department, I'm blessed with a great schedule there, but as far as every other day of the week it's just basically do whatever I want, whenever I want. And not just the time freedom, but to be free of debt. I don't have that immense pressure of debt on me anymore. I don't feel the burden and that weight. Debt can be crushing and if anybody out there is suffering from any type of debt you know what I'm talking about, it affects you at all levels of your life. Scott Bossman—I'm just not rushed anymore. Like when you're working 8:00-5:00 and you've got to get kids to school in the morning and you've got to get them home in the afternoon and you've got to have dinner ready. It has improved my family relationships. This summer was my first summer home not working a job in 24 years and I was able to go golfing on a Monday with my son and go fishing on a Thursday with my other son and to be able to do these things with my boys that I was never able to do before.Tate—The money that this business creates, I'm grateful for that. But after all is said and done, it's allowed me to really spend time on things that I want to and that includes my health. I'm able to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle which is important because your health is wealth. I'm also really grateful for the time with my young family. It allows me to be a present dad. I don't miss the milestones. I get to go to dance practices and these kinds of activities that my daughter finds interesting and I love it. I love being the only dad who goes to scissors classes.Scott Todd—I'm thankful that this is a business that has allowed myself and others to enjoy the life that they want on their own timeframe, being able to do what you want, that's the coolest thing to me about this business. It allows you to give back to the community, to give back to mankind. It's not ‘all about me',  it's about living and being a better person because you have the time freedom to do it. And you have the economic freedom to help other people. When you can do that, man, life all of a sudden gets a lot more better. What is Mark grateful for? “I'm so grateful for so many things and everything you guys were talking about I'm super, super grateful for. When I was younger, I was Tate and then as I was going through my career I felt like what Scott felt like, being able to get out of my job in 18 months. Then to be able to spend time with my loved ones like, you know, just that morning routine like what Zaino was saying and Bossman being able to have those special moments throughout the week with my family. I've experienced all of those things. So today, I think what I'm most grateful for is The Land Geek community and being able to live vicariously through other people's success. On Facebook yesterday with the Dude Buddy and the Zen Master, out of nowhere Nick Ringling is like, 'Yeah, you know, I'm 8 months out of Flight School"...I think he made $187,000. And Paul Brewers like, "Yeah, I paid for Flight School tuition in my first deal." Josh Deel same thing. I mean this is out of the blue. Like we're not asking them to go on and do this. And I think through me hearing these stories of success... like a Tyler and Jen Kelly, I feel like now I can really die in peace, at least professionally, that I've made enough of an impact to do that. I think having that ability to make an impact in other people's lives I'm most grateful for.”Mark also shares a story about a recent heartwarming rescue mission that Scott Todd was on. Then the guys get on topic of Thanksgiving and their family traditions which, for obvious reasons, leads to the topic of food…. Cheesecake Factory may or may not have been mentioned. Ok, it was.  Then, have you ever been in a nacho emergency but didn't know where to go? Scott Todd has you covered in this week's Tip of the Week! #PleaseBringBackErikPetersonAndMimiSchmidtThe Land Geek Team is super grateful for all of our listeners, without you there wouldn't be a podcast!  We hope you all had a warm fulfilling Thanksgiving.TIP OF THE WEEKScott Todd: Check out the DataBaseOfNachos.com to find nachos near you!Isn't it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?

Tamar Mar, founder of The Marota Group—a company that focuses on the acquisition of underperforming multifamily and commercial properties, joins us today to give tips and advice on breaking into the competitive niche of multifamily syndication.  But first, a little more about Tamar... She has been investing in real estate since she was 19, purchasing her first townhouse when she was a sophomore in college. She has also owned rental properties for more than 15 years. She is an entrepreneur, investor and proponent of intentional lifestyle design. Tamar often says that she is the CEO of her dreams and consistently focuses on ways to maximize business opportunities and generates enough passive income to be financially free and curate the lifestyle she and her family desires. Listen in as Tamar tells us why she chose this niche above all in real estate. Then, Scott Todd, who has made his interest in multifamily known, picks her brain to pull out as much information as he can on finding deals and breaking into this competitive niche. It comes down to:  Confidence Communication Relationship building Tamar also talks about team building and her advice on taking advice—never take it from one person and completely trust it, even a leader in the space. Validate it through many sources. “If everybody is helping each other, there's no room for others to fail.” Tamar is not the type of person to sit back and let life happen to her. She is all about taking action, and action backed with tenacity, confidence, and expertise is proving that she is in this business for one reason... to own it!

It will dim when you're about to fall sleep and brighten when you wake up. Tamar: You need to elevate your goals and your daily tasks to reach your future self.

With Mark away this week, Scott Todd takes the reins and leads the team into a discussion about their most recent deals. in this week's Round Table.Joining Scott are:Mike ZainoErik PetersonTate LitchfieldWith an equal number of Mac vs. Surface users on the call, listen in as team MacSurf shares all the details surrounding their most recent deals including the returns and terms. In short:Erik had a 2-for-2 DOTWMike sold one on terms that wasn't too shabby and one acquisition that leaves Scott & Tate in a bidding warTate went against all rules & guidelines and agreed to collect the doc fee over timeScott shares a case of John Doe and a land swapThis leads into a discussion on the shame of cash deals and breaking the rules… and by discussion we mean more along the lines of a razzing. But, in all seriousness, the points made shows how much flexibility we have in this business.Flexibility on how you want to run your business. Flexibility to meet your customers needs. As Scott points out, it's not like houses, you can't swap out a house if your buyer decides he no longer wants that one.Also, this week, we're going to change up the tip of the week, mostly since there was no tip of the week! So, here are the Rules & Guidelines of Land Investing in the words of #TeamLandGeek.Scott—With all of these kinds of rules or guidelines, that's just all that they are. They are rules, they are guidelines, they're not laws. And what's cool is that we all have the flexibility to be ourselves, to be human.Tate—At first you want to keep it as safe as possible. You don't want to waste your time, you don't want to waste your resources, so stick to the proven path. But ultimately, you've got to be flexible, we're not banks, we're not big corporations. We're mom-and-pop land investors we're working with people who want to work with mom-and-pop organizations. So be that land seller.Mike—When someone is new to the business we don't want them to get tripped up. If you've been doing the business long enough, you get a sense for who you're dealing with, you get a sense for what's going on. But the general rule that we create is to keep people safe from getting all the docs done and then the buyer doesn't pay a dime. So, yes, as you become seasoned in this business you begin to recognize the ways that you can do deals that work. But in the beginning it is a safe rule to have as a guideline to keep you protected from putting yourself into a bad spot.Erik: I am yet to break the rule over not accepting electronic payment for terms. In other words, the only way I do a deal is if I have ACH or credit card payment for the terms deal.And, back to the razzing, the guys point out how strange it is that Mark & Scott Bossman are both away on a “trip” this week.

When it comes to leads, how do you follow up without coming across as too pushy? We received a question from one of the Land Geek community members, Jason, who is receiving negative feedback in response to his lead follow up emails. Jason wrote: In fight School Scott talks a lot about sales—being persistent, following up with people, using the Fibonacci sequence, etc. I've employed that and have tried to be persistent in my sales calls, texts, emails, etc.  I never want to bother or pester people. I never want to be that “annoying salesman”.  So, if someone responds to an ad, I will follow up with them. Usually if they don't respond back, I will wait a few days, then a week, then two, etc. I'm not hounding them, but just checking in.  My thought is, you responded to my ad and asked about the property so why would you get mad about me following up? Especially if it's not every day. I try to give them space.  BUT, lately I've had a few people block my number. One guy said I was “too pushy”. Another guy cussed me out. I don't know if this is just part of the job, normal, everybody experiences it? Do I just need to grow some thick skin?  I know I'm not pushy and honestly I believe that I am just being consistent and nowadays people just think that ghosting and ignoring should communicate the message. I told one guy that if he had let me know he wasn't interested, he'd never hear from me again.  But how am I supposed to know that? Listen in as Mark and team Geek analyze this situation from all angles to come up with sage advice for Jason. Joining Mark are: Mike Zaino  Erik Peterson Mimi Schmidt Aaron Williams  Tate Litchfield  Scott Todd  Mark sums it up in dos and don'ts: We don't want to be annoying We don't want to be in the convincing business We don't want to focus too much on the land We don't want to keep chasing somebody who doesn't even open our emails But we also don't want to be timid! We do want to collect those “no's” We do want to show up We do want to solve a problem We do want to be persistent  And finally, We don't want to presume they don't want the property, we want to assume they do want the property. Afterwards, Scott lets his Surface anger fly as the bonus material...NOT Fluff, shenanigans continue. And, what's the story behind this hakkasani nay nay!? Listen in now... TIP OF THE WEEK Mimi: Check out the article, How To Bring The Magic Of Automation To Your Trello Boards. They have a card creation tool you can set up to automatically create your cards on Trello.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Scott Todd. Scott owns a land investing business where he buys and sells raw land in the South West. Scott turned to land investing after finding out that he was going to lose his job. He found out about it from Mark Podolsky the Land Geek, you can find out more about Mark at Land Geek. By following Mark Podolsky’s course on land investing Scott was able to replace his corporate job and live on the profits from his land business. The highlights of how Scott did this are below. Scott focuses on buying land at extremely low prices, 25% of market price. He is able to do this by sending offers to purchase to vacant land owners. Scott finds the owners of these properties at a county office.  This type of real estate investing model is based upon a numbers game, where you send many offers to vacant land owners. Scott said that he has been able to average 1.5 deals for every 100 mailer that he has sent out. This method of investing has the ability to be scaled by increasing the quantity of offers to vacant land owners. If  you want to find out more about land investing and about Scott Todd then go to Scott Todd.

With all the systems in place for your land business, is it possible to step away 100% and fully enjoy a vacation without worry? The hardest part sometimes, is doing nothing. - Mike As we enter into the first days of summer, #TeamGeek is busy making vacation plans with their families. We just said aloha to Scott Todd who is currently sitting on the beaches of Hawaii. But, is he fully enjoying his time there, or, does his business still require him to check in? Listen in as Mark and the team... Tate Litchfield Mike Zaino Mimi Schmidt Erik Peterson Scott Bossman ...talk about how they enjoy time with their families while keeping the deals flowing. Can they put it all to the side and trust in their systems, or, does it become a mental struggle for them? Mimi admits that she never left home without her printer and lenovo stick when going on vacation with her family. Just because I can work on the beach, doesn't mean I'm going to. -Tate This subject brings some regret to the surface for Mark. Before he created the systems that make it possible to keep the business running while enjoying time away, he admits it was a constant struggle and he was only half present during family outings. There's never been a better time to run a land business -Tate Those systems that Mark built for his own peace of mind have allowed us all to be able to take a step back and enjoy life outside of the land business. And Mimi, well, she can finally stop lugging her printer along with her and start embracing the relaxation. TIP OF THE WEEK Mimi: Check out the article, 9 Reasons Why Facebook Rejects Your Ads (And How To Prevent It).  Also mentioned, Mike is reading, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief.

With this business being 90% automated, we have a lot of free time on our hands… should we feel guilty about it? Scott Todd takes the helm as team geek talks about SURVIVOR'S GUILT in this week's Round Table discussion! Join Scott and this week's cast of geeks: Mimi Schmidt Aaron Williams Erik Peterson Scott Bossman Tate Litchfield ...as they answer these questions: What did your Monday look like? Have you ever had survivors guilt and if so, how do you get over it? Should we be working harder? Do you feel weird when people ask what you do? Mimi—when she was working her 9-5 she wouldn't get a break at all because someone was always needing something from her but now she takes time to stop and smell the roses… and pull a few weeds. And still now, even on a leisurely day, Mimi still works on the business from her laptop… but with her feet kicked up. Erik—Survivor's guilt for Erik is when he sees his peers working their 9-5's and are unable to attend their kids functions Aaron—Went for a motorcycle ride to look for a cheesecake factory… NO guilt there!  Scott B—A busy day for him consists of working 2-3 hours at Panera Bread. And a leisure day is spent on the deck with his feet kicked up and an iced coffee in hand, waiting for that wire on a cash sale to come through, with his dog by his side. Tate—Someone hold his beer while he reels one in! He feels the guilt when he rides his bike over the freeway every morning and sees the bumper to bumper traffic, but he offsets that guilt by feeding the homeless. And, Tate admits that he is now broken and unemployable, thanks to land. This topic all came about because Scott Todd spent all day Monday by the pool relaxing and reading a book! He completely shut the world out and lived in his own cocoon… and he was ok with that until about 3:30 when the guilt sat in. So the question is, should we feel that survivor's guilt? It's the lifestyle we built, so how do we overcome the guilt associated with kicking back and enjoying life? “When you have that passive income that we create, You can create the lifestyle you want.” And, did Aaron ever find the Cheesecake Factory? Listen in for all the answers... TIP OF THE WEEK Mimi: Check out the website TopoView for maps dated back to the 1800's up to the present.

What are some of the biggest beginning challenges in land investing? After attending a recent entrepreneurial seminar, Scott Todd witnessed the struggles of bootstrappers who are spending a substantial amount of time and money on their business only to get knocked down time and time again. He wanted to take them all by the hand and say “follow me to land….” In this week's Round Table discussion, Mark and the team talk about their biggest struggles in the beginning stages of their journey to passive income. This week's cast of geeks include: Scott Bossman Aaron Williams Erik Peterson Mimi Schmidt Tate Litchfield Scott Todd Scott Bossman talks about how he came into this business with absolutely no experience in business, sales, and without any computer skills making those logistics his biggest challenges. Aaron, who was one of those entrepreneurs who were getting kicked in the teeth everyday, found his biggest challenge was to let go. Something he still struggles with, but is getting better because he sees the freedom it provides. This business is amazing because of the way it can free you up to live life and having that passive income allows you to do that. Mimi's biggest challenge was herself and fear Erik's, sales & accounting Tate's, organization Scott Todd's challenge, TIME. He was racing against, not one, but TWO clocks! And, Mark's challenge was his ego-driven self that got in the way of having the freedom possible within this business. Find out what made him open eyes and start letting go to free up his time so he could work on the parts of the business that he enjoyed and that moved the needle. The Bottom Line— The barrier of entry to this business is so low and Team Geek shows us that you can move the needle with very little time or money invested, you just have to want it bad enough, start taking action, and then get out of your own way!

Aaron Williams Mimi Schmidt Mike Zaino Erik Peterson Tate Litchfield ...as they share their pro-tips for pricing in this week's Round Table discussion. Aaron and Erik share details on: Stage mailings Tier pricing The offers are super important but at the same time you don't want to put too much importance on them that they stop you from moving.

Also, find out why Mark says, don't be a Glass Joe! A lot of people out there know how incredible real estate is, but they don't understand how incredible our niche is with the fact that you don't have to leverage other people's money. The fact is our deals are micro in the sense of what people typically spend for real estate but macro in the sense of results and the passive income. -Mike Tate, whose tip is to not overthink it, shares a recent discovery that he and Scott Todd are working the same area, with about an $800 difference is asking price...they are both buying and both selling with good returns! Stop aiming for a homerun and  just send them out.

When it comes to hiring VAs, should you rent or buy? Do you pay a premium and rent VAs that have already been trained in the business saving you considerable time and headache. Or do you prefer to buy your own and train them on YOUR business based on your own preferences? In this week's Round Table discussion, Mark and Team Geek... Scott Bossman Erik Peterson Aaron Williams Mike Zaino Tate Litchfield Scott Todd ...discuss the differences of both options and the best way to build a team. There are many advantages to each, the most significant being: Building a team—they are there for you on your schedule using your processes Using a service—saves you time, especially crucial in the beginning when setting up your systems Ultimately, it all comes down to YOU and your preferences. Find out what the team has to say and how this subject oddly leads to a heated discussion of plumbing! I'm a person who likes to control my processes. I need someone to fit my systems, not me fit theirs. On the other hand, there's the convenience aspect especially when you're first getting started, when you need to put in a lot of work without actually putting in a lot of work. The services come in handy because they are trained and ready to go. -Aaron Plus, Scott Todd gives us a Flight School LIVE rundown!

Do your land ads keep getting flagged on Craigslist? It's all about location! Join Mark and Team Geek: Erik Peterson Aaron Williams Mimi Schmidt Scott Todd ...as they dive deep into the struggle of getting your ads to stick on this week's Round Table. Erik shares how he often sees people throw the towel in too soon when it comes to CL because of flagged posts. Since Craigslist is big on getting rid of scammers and spammers, they only want local people selling local goods, making it hard to market our property. Listen in as the team shares what works for them and offers sage advice for setting up a good algorithm to produce high stick rates. But, what happens when you make it through the filters and you aren't getting the leads? Scott Todd has the answer for you! You don't need hundreds of ads a day, you just need to find your voice so people will connect with you. Have you given Craigslist a fair chance and still don't feel the love? Do whatever is working for you, just don't write CL off too soon because of the struggles in the beginning. Erik says that the majority of his leads come from there... and a lead is as good as a sale. The team goes on to compare CL to Facebook. TIP OF THE WEEK Scott: Change your passwords! If you're using the same username and password for everything, you better stop it. Make sure you use super strong passwords and figure out some system to manage that because the threat is real. Protect yourself.  Isn't it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?

We all make mistakes in the land investing business, the good news is they are fixable but they all come with valuable lessons! Today, Team Geek shares their biggest mistakes and the lessons that were learned. Scott Todd takes the controls for this week's Round Table as Mark is away visiting… this is where it becomes a little unclear because there seems to be some discrepancy between stories. If you ask Tate, Mark is off visiting Tate's favorite factory where they make cheese. If you ask Scott T., Mark's at the Cheesecake Factory. Either way he can't go wrong and we hope he's enjoying good quality time with his family! With Scott Todd in the pilot's seat, this week's crew includes: Scott Bossman Tate Litchfield Aaron Williams Mimi Schmidt Erik Peterson Listen in now as the team shares some of their biggest mistakes and the lessons that were learned. In short: Scott Bossman went into joint ownership with the deceased. Aaron sold a property that wasn't his to sell. Erik bought 12 properties in bulk, 2 of which had been previously sold to someone else and one of those two Erik had pre-sold. He also shares a business strategy mistake he made in the beginning that kept him from scaling quicker. Tate double sold due to a data entry error on the APN. He also shares a big regret that moved Scott Todd to bring out the soapbox. Also, Mimi received an accepted offer for 1,175. The seller is a trucker who is never in town so he used a middleman to get everything done. Mimi paid the accepted offer of 1,175 and the middleman deeded the property over to her… deal done... wrong! She started getting harassing phone calls from the owner because he thought the offer was for 11,750, not 1,175! Ultimately, she ended up deeding the property back... but BEFORE she got her money back… this can't end well. Find out how Mimi's story ends and the details of all the deals gone wrong. Plus, Scott Todd shares a mistake that he is currently going through. It's a case of joint tenancy with rights of survivorship—the husband is deceased, surviving wife sells Scott the property but failed to disclose the prefix “EX” in front of her title of wife. Should that make a difference? It does, says the county. Find out the details now... TIP OF THE WEEK Mimi: Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice by Peter Drucker. So keep practicing!  Isn't it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?

In today's episode of The Art of Passive Income—Round Table edition, Mark is joined by: Mimi Schmidt Erik Peterson Mike Zaino Aaron Williams Tate Litchfield Scott Todd As we come to the end of 2018 it's time to start thinking about your goals for 2019. Are you one who likes to set high goals that aren't attainable but hey, at least you tried and even falling short brings good results? Or, do you set low goals because you want to avoid the overwhelm or maybe you just have limited time and 10x-ing is not an option? Maybe you're not a goal setter at all? Goals come in many sizes, they are not one size fits all and the key to setting them is to aim for something that is realistic FOR YOU—making them high enough to keep you motivated and continuously moving forward.

In today's episode of The Art of Passive Income—Round Table edition, Mark is joined by: Mimi Schmidt Tate Litchfield Scott Bossman Erik Peterson Aaron Williams Scott Todd Scott Bossman brings up an interesting and challenging situation that he faced last week. One that raises Mark's blood pressure and leaves him feeling anx-gry and the whole gang riled up! He had an intake deal in progress with a gentleman that he connected with on a personal level. The seller told Scott that he had owned this property for over 30 years and Scott's offer was the first one he had ever received. They agreed on a price and everything was good to go until another investor sent an offer right before the deal was done and the amount was double Scott's offer. Should Scott hold the seller to the original agreement since he had already put in all of the work, or just offer more money since he already had a buyer in place? And, what about the other investor who is also a community member, should Scott reach out to them to let them know that their offer is too high for the area? Everybody weighs in on how they would proceed. Then, Scott Todd tells us about a little scarcity experiment he performed in an area rich with land investors. He ran the analytics on APN numbers and the number of times they were mailed to and the results may shock you!

Uh-oh, this isn't Mark…today we're mixing things up a bit. Every task I've helped Mark with he's always told me to make it my own—he has always given me creative room to breathe. So while Mark was busy with other things this week, I thought I'd sneak on here and share with you some of my favorite highlights from Land Geek students. Why should you care about my favorite student stories? If you haven't guessed yet, it's me, Danielle Dyball…if you don't know who I am well I'm always working hard behind the scenes here on the Land Geek team. My official title is Chief Geek Administrator, and while I help with everything from support to planning Bootcamps, one of my favorite things about working with Mark is the community. Getting to know the students is always encouraging…whether it's helping you troubleshoot technical issues or listening as you share your story with us, I absolutely love the Land Geek Community. And we know how much you all love hearing from The Land Geek students too, so I've handpicked some of my favorite stories from star pupils. Chris Clark kicks off this episode. Chris is now a Land Geek coach—hear how he got started with land investing using Mark's system and why he prefers land over house flips any day. Next is John & Becky Burnett, our first couple team. While John always sees the big picture, Becky has the ability to narrow down that vision to accomplish all those little tasks required to reach the ultimate goal. Becky is John's perfect partner in marriage, married for 32 years, and in business—and while they may not remember how they found Mark they do know his methods are solid as they've created a successful business together.   Sometimes it gets a bit confusing when we're on-boarding new coaching students because not only do we have Chris Clark as a coach, but Chris Pritchard has also recently joined the coaching team. Chris Pritchard found The Land Geek while looking for his next side hustle…listen in as Chris shares with us how land investing has been his greatest side hustle.

Let's put the moose on the table: You have questions, and Grant and Martha have answers. For example, why would someone have an albatross around his neck? And what's so cool about bees' knees, anyway? Plus, jockey boxes, bailiwicks, and cute names for loved ones, from snookums to bubula. If a bartender ever serves you a mat shot, don't try to beast it. You'll regret it in the morning. FULL DETAILS    What pet names do you have for your loved ones? In The Joys of Yiddish, Leo Rosten shares the name his Mother used to call him--Bubala, a term of endearment grandmothers might use in addressing children. We have all kinds of substitutes for the names of those we care about: sweetie, honey buns, snookums, etc. Martha opts for the Portuguese fofinha, meaning "fat, cuddly baby." http://wywd.us/yiddishjoyWhat's so cool about bees' knees, anyway? The bee's knees, a phrase meaning "cool" or "great," dates back to the flapper era of the 1920s. It relates to an old definition of the word "cute," referring to something "small and nicely formed." The knees of a bee are just that, after all. http://wywd.us/bees-kneesA bartender wonders about the origin of the term jockey box. In his world, a jockey box is a "metal container for ice." However, in some parts of the western U.S., jockey box means "the glove compartment of a car," and much earlier, the term referred to boxes attached to the side of chuck wagon for holding feed or water. The caller also shares another bit of bartending slang, the so-called mat shot or Matt Dillon. It's a glass of whatever liquor collects on the rubber mat behind the bar, which some enterprising patrons order as a prank or a test of a strong stomach.The hosts discuss an email from a listener in Romania. His problem is that he learned English in the Southern U.S., but after going back home to where a British English is taught, people are having a hard time understanding his accent. Where we learn a language plays a big role in how we speak it.Quiz Guy Greg Pliska has a game called Centricity, emphasis on the "city." For example, "Mickey ate all the fruit, leaving Minneapolis." And as George H.W. Bush said to George W. Bush, "You can be president Tucson." Has your boss ever used the expression Let's put the moose on the table? This management buzzphrase, meaning "let's address the problem everyone's been avoiding," is relatively new, showing up in print around the early 1990s. The phrase pops up in books by former Eli Lilly CEO Randall Tobias and management guru Jim Clemmer. In Clemmer's book Moose on the Table, he tells a possible origin tale about a baby moose that crawled under a buffet table, only to be avoided by the patrons as it stank up the banquet hall. http://wywd.us/moosetableWhat does it mean to have an albatross around your neck? A political pundit, referring to a current candidate, mentioned "an alcatraz around his neck." The proper version, with an albatross, originates from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, wherein a sailor shoots an albatross, bringing down a curse on the boat, and his shipmates force him to wear an albatross around his neck as a symbol of shame. Grant notes that the name albatross likely derives from the Portuguese or Spanish alcatraz, meaning "pelican" or "sea bird." So perhaps an alcatraz around the neck isn't so far off after all.http://wywd.us/albatrossneckhttp://wywd.us/ancientrimeIf something's "the bee's knees," you can bet that it's also beast. A sixth grade teacher wonders about the term beast being thrown around by her students. This synonym for "cool" or "good" is also used as a verb, as in I beasted that exam, or "I did extremely well." The slang term "beast" is common slang in sports, as in, "That player is a beast on the field." Former Cal running back Marshawn Lynch is notably famous for his signature playing style, beast mode.http://wywd.us/beastedA few weeks ago, a listener was looking for a term to describe the copy of The Emperor's New Clothes that he'd read many times as a child. In this picture book, the naughty bits were always cleverly covered up. Thinking he wanted a synonym for "fig leaf," Martha had offered the word antipudic, from the Latin pudor meaning "shame." Many listeners responded, suggesting that the word he really wanted was bowdlerize, meaning "to remove improper or offensive material." This eponym comes from Thomas Bowdler, whose sister ghost-edited The Family Shakespeare in 1818 containing censored versions of Shakespeare's plays.http://wywd.us/antipudichttp://wywd.us/bowdlerandsisIf you go to a department store, you'll see the Men's department, the Women's department, and the Children's department. So why do so many stores have a department that's called simply Baby? Grant attributes the non-possessive nomenclature of stores like Baby Gap to tradition in the retail industry.A listener from San Diego, California, named Lois has been called Louise, Lori, Lauren, Louisa, and Rosa, to name a few. And of course, the Scott/Todd mix-up phenomenon continues. Do people ever mess up your name?http://wywd.us/scotttodd What does it mean to vet a political candidate? The word vet comes from veterinarian, specifically the ones who would examine a horse before a race to make sure it was healthy and eligible. Similarly, one might vet a candidate to make sure they're up to snuff. The novelist John le Carre popularized the term in his political stories.http://wywd.us/lecarreA listener from Wisconsin adds to the discussion on wind pudding and air sauce, explaining that where he's from, wind pudding is old loggerspeak for baked beans. http://wywd.us/windpuddingHow do you pronounce biopic? The proper way to mention the genre of biographical motion picture has always been "BUY-oh-pick," as opposed to the mirror of myopic. It's not unusual to mispronounce a word if the spelling does not clearly indicate how to say it. For example, Grant notes a common error people make in pronouncing misled to rhyme with "chiseled." If something's not in your bailiwick, it's not in your jurisdiction or area of control. But what exactly is a "bailiwick"? Martha explains that the two words which make up the term--bailiff and wick-- have specific meanings in Middle English. A bailiff, in the time of kings, was "a public minister of a district," and a wick was simply a "town" or "village." For example, Gatwick literally referred to a "goat village." And Greenwich literally meant "green village" or "village on the green." Is that funny hehe, or funny haha? The way we laugh indicates whether we're laughing at someone or if we're simply enjoying the humor they've brought.--A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donateGet your language question answered on the air!
