Speaker A

Foreign.

Dustin Heiner

Welcome to the Master Passive Income show.

Dustin Heiner

My name is Dustin Heiner and I'm here to help you create financial freedom.

Dustin Heiner

Afford anything you want in life by investing in real estate so you never have to worry about money again.

Dustin Heiner

And in today's show, I'm bringing on a fantastic real estate land investing expert who shows us how we can invest in land, buy raw land, create passive income from it, and we talk about so much more about podcasting, about everything else in business so that you can learn how we do our business as well.

Dustin Heiner

All right, let's start the show.

Speaker A

Foreign.

Dustin Heiner

What's up?

Dustin Heiner

Super blessed as always to have you here with me on the show.

Dustin Heiner

Now, I absolutely love when I get to hang out with my friends now.

Dustin Heiner

You love hanging out with your friends too?

Dustin Heiner

Absolutely.

Dustin Heiner

If you get around people that you enjoy being around, it really like, lights you up as well as you, you know, just really hopefully get ideas, you get encouraged.

Dustin Heiner

Well, recently I had a fantastic opportunity to hang out with a lot of my good friends.

Dustin Heiner

So I went to PodFest.

Dustin Heiner

It's a podcasting conference.

Dustin Heiner

You guys know I love podcasting.

Dustin Heiner

It's one of my favorite things to do.

Dustin Heiner

Now we have the Master Passive Income podcast network where we have six shows now.

Dustin Heiner

And here's a great one.

Dustin Heiner

We are even going to be having Master Passive Income en Espanol.

Dustin Heiner

Like, we're gonna have a Spanish content.

Dustin Heiner

We're going to have a Spanish version of Master Passive Income.

Dustin Heiner

And I know what you might be thinking.

Dustin Heiner

You may be thinking this, like, just take Dustin's voice and throw it through AI and have it speak out some Spanish speaking episodes.

Dustin Heiner

No, that's not what we're going to do.

Dustin Heiner

We are going to actually have a student of Master Passive Income.

Dustin Heiner

He's from Columbia and he said, dustin, I really want to help people.

Dustin Heiner

I've done a podcast before and I really just want to help people just like you do.

Dustin Heiner

So we're going to have MPI Espanol, which is so fun.

Dustin Heiner

We have other shows coming.

Dustin Heiner

But here's another fun thing.

Dustin Heiner

In my time hanging out podfest, I reached out my good friend Seth Williams.

Dustin Heiner

Seth Williams has Ari Tipster, the terrific website and podcast about land investing.

Dustin Heiner

I'm encouraging him to make his site more about all types of real estate instead of just land, which it has all types of real estate.

Dustin Heiner

But I'm like, man, Seth, you can grow this to be really, really big where you're helping a lot more people to invest in all types of asset classes.

Dustin Heiner

And so we went to PodFest.

Dustin Heiner

He's a podcaster.

Dustin Heiner

He actually has two podcasts which we will talk about on the show.

Dustin Heiner

A children's podcast that my kids absolutely love, as well as a real estate investing podcast.

Dustin Heiner

But he and I and a number of all the other hosts at Master Passive Income, we just jumped on podcasts and started talking to each other about how we invest, about life and how we do business and all that sort of stuff.

Dustin Heiner

And I thought, you know what?

Dustin Heiner

This is some fantastic stuff because I'll be completely honest, I listen to podcasts, I listen to other podcasts.

Dustin Heiner

And that's a big reason why I like podcasts too, is because I consume podcasts.

Dustin Heiner

I love it when I hear the person that I'm listening to normally, you know, week in, week out, go back and listen the things that they coach or teach or interview, but then hearing some things that they're also doing that I would not normally know.

Dustin Heiner

And I was talking to Seth, I said, hey, Seth, let's just.

Dustin Heiner

Let's just have a conversation.

Dustin Heiner

Think of like a Joe Rogan conversation where they just talk about everything.

Dustin Heiner

I said, let's do that.

Dustin Heiner

And it was fantastic.

Dustin Heiner

We had a fantastic time.

Dustin Heiner

We almost forgot that we were recording.

Dustin Heiner

And so this is kind of like a high level, I guess, conversation that I have with my friends that are other podcasters that are real estate investors.

Dustin Heiner

I mean, I don't know if we said this on the episode, but both he and I, it's like so much easier just to invest in real estate.

Dustin Heiner

Like, rather than coaching people, putting on conferences now, having the monthly meetups at Rubecon, doing the social media, doing the podcasts, it is so easy to invest in real estate.

Dustin Heiner

If I just went back to invest in real estate, my goodness, I would be so much further than I am now because a lot of my time now goes to real estate.

Dustin Heiner

Sorry.

Dustin Heiner

From real estate into the podcast, which, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it as a negative.

Dustin Heiner

I'm saying it as I love podcasting.

Dustin Heiner

That's why it's so much easier doing something else.

Dustin Heiner

I love podcasting, I love coaching, and I love helping people.

Dustin Heiner

And obviously my conference, the Real Estate Wealth Business Conference, no sales pitch, literally just here to help you connect with other people and be a better investor.

Dustin Heiner

Because of my mission to help 1 million people to invest in real estate.

Dustin Heiner

And hopefully you are one of those people.

Dustin Heiner

In fact, I.

Dustin Heiner

Well, let me think about it.

Dustin Heiner

Yeah.

Dustin Heiner

So a lot of my students even, like Juan, who's doing the master passive income in espanol, he literally binged listened to every single one of my episodes of Master Passive income.

Dustin Heiner

We have 30.

Dustin Heiner

This is, I think, the 367th podcast episode.

Dustin Heiner

So he's binged that as well as Roger.

Dustin Heiner

Roger Wesley is going to be taking over the successfully unemployed show for me underneath the Master Passive Income podcast network.

Dustin Heiner

And in it is so amazing that Roger as well went through every single episode and listened from beginning all the way to end.

Dustin Heiner

Because in the end, what I want is to coach people, to help people to invest in real estate, because this is what life's about.

Dustin Heiner

Now, you hopefully you've heard, if you've heard me, if this is your first episode, then I want you to hear this.

Dustin Heiner

But if you've heard me in the past, you know, I've said this, that there's so many good things about real estate investing.

Dustin Heiner

I said this even at rubcon.

Dustin Heiner

But when you think about real estate investing, we think about real estate investing being a property.

Dustin Heiner

We buy a property, we make cash flow, which is absolutely true.

Dustin Heiner

But what you need to realize is that real estate is not about properties, business is not about a product, and life is not just about experiences.

Dustin Heiner

What it is about, though, real estate is about people.

Dustin Heiner

Hear that again.

Dustin Heiner

Real estate is about people, business is about people, and life is about people.

Dustin Heiner

It's all about your relationships with the people around you, people that you can work with, the people that you can help and change their lives for the better.

Dustin Heiner

Be completely honest and say, when I quit my job, I mean, I had plenty of money coming in, I had plenty of properties, and I was just playing golf, going to the gym and having a good time.

Dustin Heiner

And I just started feeling like I was not being productive.

Dustin Heiner

I was making plenty of money because I did all my work.

Dustin Heiner

Remember, we're a master of passive income.

Dustin Heiner

When we buy one property, we master passive income because that property is doing all the work for us.

Dustin Heiner

And that's why I have Master Passive Income.

Dustin Heiner

I want to show you how to master it by buying one property.

Dustin Heiner

And then you build a business.

Dustin Heiner

You just keep buying more properties and put it into your business as inventory.

Dustin Heiner

And so as I am going through with Master Passive Income with a real estate wealth builders conference, I kid you not, it is a ton of work.

Dustin Heiner

And I bet you assume it's a lot of work, put on a conference, but it's also a big risk with the hotels.

Dustin Heiner

But in the end, my goodness, if I don't take a risk, if you don't take a risk, life doesn't change if you do not buy that first property.

Dustin Heiner

Let me Take that back.

Dustin Heiner

Let me take one step big, big back.

Dustin Heiner

If you don't even make the decision that man, life can get better.

Dustin Heiner

If I do something differently, possibly be by investing in real estate, buying a property that makes me passive income or buying land that I can flip to sell for more or have that be a note where somebody else is paying me over time.

Dustin Heiner

If I don't take that, maybe get another job, you know, a risk.

Dustin Heiner

I get another job.

Dustin Heiner

A risk of going to your boss and asking for a raise.

Dustin Heiner

If you don't put yourself out in a.

Dustin Heiner

It's, you can call it a risk.

Dustin Heiner

I mean, I've been calling that, but it's not necessarily a risk.

Dustin Heiner

You're taking a chance or you're putting your effort forward.

Dustin Heiner

That's a better way to say it.

Dustin Heiner

You are saying I'm going to take advantage of what's in front of me, not just waiting for things to come.

Dustin Heiner

Because if you wait for things to come, you know it.

Dustin Heiner

But I'm going to say it anyways.

Dustin Heiner

They never will.

Dustin Heiner

Opportunities only come to people who are hustling the people who are working for what they want.

Dustin Heiner

If you're sitting still, your opportunity will never come.

Dustin Heiner

And so if you've been listening to the show, let's say you started binging the show and you're already back to 367.

Dustin Heiner

You start at the beginning and you listen to all of them and you still haven't built a business, you still haven't found a property manager, you still haven't started finding mortgage brokers, haven't even put an offers on properties and you haven't bought a property.

Dustin Heiner

What's going on?

Dustin Heiner

Like this is your wake up call.

Dustin Heiner

I mean this is.

Dustin Heiner

Well, I rarely ever talk about the, you know, time of year, but if you're listening to this right now as I'm releasing it, this is January 2025.

Dustin Heiner

You need to change your life because right now realize, and I just got this question today.

Dustin Heiner

I was helping out at a, at a mastermind, you know, helping people, coaching them as well.

Dustin Heiner

And somebody was asking me, well, is now a good time to invest in real estate?

Dustin Heiner

I said, no, it's not.

Dustin Heiner

When is the best time or the, a good time or the best time to invest in real estate?

Dustin Heiner

It was 20 years ago.

Dustin Heiner

The next best time is literally today.

Dustin Heiner

So you need to change your life, take that risk, start investing.

Dustin Heiner

Don't just keep listening.

Dustin Heiner

Obviously I love it that you listen to the show, but take action.

Dustin Heiner

Take action also.

Dustin Heiner

You will even be more of an action.

Dustin Heiner

Taker if you come to the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference, come and join me and 40 plus of my expert investing friends and hundreds of real estate investors at a no sales pitch conference.

Dustin Heiner

Literally, it's all about you.

Dustin Heiner

Go to rubecon.com the link will be in description Rubecon R E W B C O N.com use a promo code MPIPODCAST and I will literally give you 20% off your pass.

Dustin Heiner

And I'm not really making any money on this because hotels are really expensive.

Dustin Heiner

I'll tell you this.

Dustin Heiner

One gallon of gasoline, $2.50 in Tennessee, where I'm at California, maybe $5 a gallon in a hotel.

Dustin Heiner

Coffee per gallon is $125 a gallon and you have 25% tax or it's not tax, sorry, it's a gratuity that is automatically put on with tax.

Dustin Heiner

You're up to $150 a gallon.

Dustin Heiner

So anyways, all that to say you, you need to take a chance.

Dustin Heiner

You need to bet on yourself.

Dustin Heiner

Life's only going to get better when you change what you are currently doing for the better.

Dustin Heiner

I kid you not.

Dustin Heiner

And if you don't do that, if you don't make that change, life will never change for the better.

Dustin Heiner

Now, I could keep going on and on, but I have a really good long episode and I'm going to tell you straightforward.

Dustin Heiner

This episode is long.

Dustin Heiner

We recorded for a long time because we kind of forgot because we were just brainstorming and masterminding together.

Dustin Heiner

I really want you to listen to this because this is literally how I think.

Dustin Heiner

How we think.

Dustin Heiner

We're both Christ followers as well.

Dustin Heiner

So you might hear some of that in there as well.

Dustin Heiner

But also one other quick thing.

Dustin Heiner

The recording, my goodness, it was echoey, huge echo in the booth that we were recording.

Dustin Heiner

So I used AI to try to remove the echo.

Dustin Heiner

And so sometimes it's going to sound a little off.

Dustin Heiner

I apologize.

Dustin Heiner

Hugely apologize.

Dustin Heiner

I hate, hate that the audio is a little off.

Dustin Heiner

Or you might like kind of cut out stuff you'll notice at some point, like, oh, there's AI again.

Dustin Heiner

But this is a fantastic episode.

Dustin Heiner

I loved this conversation.

Dustin Heiner

Seth's a great guy.

Dustin Heiner

Like, he's a good friend of mine.

Dustin Heiner

We help each other out a ton.

Dustin Heiner

And so I want you to see what it's like to have good friends that are in the business with you.

Dustin Heiner

Even though we don't necessarily invest together, but we brainstorm together, we help each other out.

Dustin Heiner

We're just, you know, encouraging each other.

Dustin Heiner

And that's what I want for you.

Dustin Heiner

And I got this by going to I met Seth at a conference.

Dustin Heiner

That's why you come to Rubecon.

Dustin Heiner

Rubecon is literally your place to meet people that can and will encourage you.

Dustin Heiner

And plus, you'll hang out with me.

Dustin Heiner

And I just.

Seth Williams

It.

Dustin Heiner

Well, here's the thing.

Dustin Heiner

If you're an introvert and you're stuck on the wall and you're like, man, I don't know if I want to go.

Dustin Heiner

I'm not going to know anybody.

Dustin Heiner

You'll see me, you know, I'm an extrovert.

Dustin Heiner

Grab me and say, hey, Dustin, I need to meet some people.

Seth Williams

I said, yes, let's go.

Seth Williams

Go.

Dustin Heiner

I'm going to help you.

Dustin Heiner

I love doing it.

Dustin Heiner

One of my favorite things.

Dustin Heiner

So I'm super pumped to bring on my friend Seth Williams from Ari Tips for Podcast, where we talk about everything under the sun of what we do in our businesses.

Dustin Heiner

And I want you to experience what it's like when you meet another real estate investor at an event and you become friends and you start encouraging each other, and then you create long friendships from that.

Dustin Heiner

All right, now here's the episode with my friend Seth Williams.

Speaker A

So Dustin and I are hanging out at the Podfest conference in Orlando, 2025.

Speaker A

It's a podcast, a conference for podcasters.

Speaker A

I've never been here.

Seth Williams

You have two podcasts?

Speaker A

Yeah, I got.

Speaker A

I got two totally unrelated podcasts.

Seth Williams

So you're a podcaster.

Seth Williams

Would you consider yourself a YouTuber or a podcaster?

Seth Williams

Or both, maybe?

Speaker A

Yeah, I mean, both.

Speaker A

But I think YouTube things, what I've tried harder and spent more time on, so I don't know.

Seth Williams

I mean, I.

Seth Williams

But I remember it was like.

Seth Williams

It was like two years ago, maybe even maybe three years ago.

Seth Williams

I sent you a quick message.

Seth Williams

I'm like, dude, your YouTube is awesome.

Seth Williams

Like.

Seth Williams

Like, your videos are really good.

Seth Williams

But then it's like you have two podcasts.

Seth Williams

Now you have one YouTube, two podcasts.

Speaker A

Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker A

Like, once you develop the skill set and just the knowledge base of how to do it, like, it becomes exponentially easier to do it again, even if it's totally unrelated.

Speaker A

It's just like, hey, like, I can do that.

Speaker A

The average person can't or won't do it.

Seth Williams

Just like buying your first house, buy your first piece of land.

Seth Williams

Once you do it, like, you've proven to yourself that it's possible and you're not scared.

Seth Williams

Maybe.

Seth Williams

Yeah, you're gonna be scared, but you're not gonna be as scared.

Seth Williams

First time, like, hitting record for the first Time on the podcast or, you know, setting the first up or sending your first direction.

Seth Williams

It's scary, this place.

Seth Williams

Just like riding a bike.

Seth Williams

You get used to it.

Speaker A

I know.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

It's like, it would almost be a shame if you didn't do it again because, like, it took you so much work to get free space.

Speaker A

Like, why not keep going to the next one?

Seth Williams

Well, and so, like, I think and we were literally just talking about this because we were like, how should we take this conversation?

Seth Williams

Well, I know that my listeners for my podcast, the master passive income podcast, yours is re tips.

Seth Williams

Your podcast, you have storyline podcasts.

Seth Williams

You coach people how to invest in land.

Seth Williams

I coach people out of single family homes.

Seth Williams

Start thinking, how are we going to take this conversation?

Seth Williams

Because we think of our audience.

Seth Williams

Where are they going on?

Seth Williams

Want to hear?

Seth Williams

Well, most people, I won't say most people.

Seth Williams

Literally, this is what we've learned at PodFest, or I've learned many, multiple times.

Seth Williams

People come for the content.

Seth Williams

Like, they find the content, but they also stay for the host.

Seth Williams

They stay.

Seth Williams

They want to keep listening to the host.

Seth Williams

And this is amazing.

Seth Williams

So I put on an event for my, like, community, and I bring my friends, like you and other investors who come speak.

Seth Williams

I.

Seth Williams

We have more people coming to see you at events and you and I have even a bit at conferences that other land investors.

Seth Williams

You're like, hey, I'm here and I'll be here for like an hour at this one, I don't know, restaurant or something.

Seth Williams

You want to come hang out?

Seth Williams

People fly.

Seth Williams

Just hang out with you for like 30 minutes.

Speaker A

Crazy, man.

Speaker A

It's amazing.

Speaker A

But, yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker A

It's.

Speaker A

Yeah, it's awesome.

Seth Williams

Well, this thing has like, those people that do that.

Seth Williams

Are they obviously the land investors or.

Seth Williams

They're investors.

Seth Williams

I want to connect with you.

Seth Williams

Do they.

Seth Williams

Have you noticed?

Seth Williams

Do some of them or most of it come from the podcast.

Seth Williams

Most comes to YouTube.

Seth Williams

They found you on YouTube.

Seth Williams

They found you on podcast or maybe combination.

Seth Williams

You should.

Speaker A

Yeah, I think it's a smattering.

Speaker A

So a little bit of everything.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

I almost wonder because a lot of times when these things happen, we come together.

Speaker A

I only spend a few minutes talking to each person, but I see them all talking to each other.

Speaker A

I almost feel like that's where the real value is.

Speaker A

Me, it's like, look, there's this community of other people doing the same thing.

Speaker A

So, yeah, really cool.

Speaker A

They probably find me from all kinds of different places.

Seth Williams

The Storyland podcast, my kids, you really, really love it.

Seth Williams

They keep waiting Even my kid.

Seth Williams

Well, we're homeschooled.

Seth Williams

And also, I don't that my kids consume lots and lots of media.

Seth Williams

And so when they listen to the podcast, they're still kind of young at heart too, because we don't let them just watch and consume anything.

Seth Williams

And so when the new storylight episode comes out, they're all excited.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Thank you for being.

Speaker A

You're like, one of the early adopters.

Speaker A

When I first started talking about it, you were.

Speaker A

You just totally dove in.

Speaker A

It was awesome to hear that your kids were liking it.

Speaker A

And yeah, it's a ton of fun.

Speaker A

It's kind of weird because I, like, I can just make this stuff up.

Speaker A

Like, there's kind of an endless supply if I have time to just make up stories.

Speaker A

And it's cool to see that people like it.

Seth Williams

I can't do that.

Seth Williams

I literally do not have the creativity to create something.

Seth Williams

Now, if I forced myself to sit down and do it, I probably could, but, man, it does not come easy.

Speaker A

On that note, of all these different things that we do, you know, I've got multiple different endeavors.

Speaker A

You got the same thing.

Speaker A

When I think of you, I think of Master Passive Income, successfully unemployed.

Speaker A

And each of those things have their own, like, YouTube and podcast and stuff.

Speaker A

You've got Rubecon, which is really turned into a big thing.

Speaker A

You've got your rental properties, which is where it all started.

Speaker A

What do you think?

Speaker A

Which of those things is, like, the most impactful?

Speaker A

Like, if you were forced to only do one of them, like, what would be the one that you'd say, this is the most worthwhile of everything.

Seth Williams

So the Real Estate Web Brothers Conference is terrific.

Seth Williams

We connect so many people.

Seth Williams

I've seen so many lives change from it, but it would not be here if it wasn't for this one other thing.

Seth Williams

Master Passive Income, all the coaching.

Seth Williams

We got a thousand students now becoming successful investors, buying real estate, graduating like Plan M, playing Monopoly.

Seth Williams

Um, that's great.

Seth Williams

But it would not be here if it wasn't for this one thing.

Seth Williams

Um, And I know YouTube is not doing much for.

Seth Williams

Yeah, do get people coming and watching YouTube, but if it were one thing, it would have to be the podcast.

Seth Williams

And this is.

Seth Williams

It's the Master Passive.

Seth Williams

Sorry, yes.

Seth Williams

Specifically, Right.

Seth Williams

Master Passive Income Podcast number one.

Seth Williams

I put the most.

Seth Williams

I would say passion into it, but it's like, it's what I really enjoy doing, but also put passion into it.

Seth Williams

And I.

Seth Williams

I really try to help and educate people.

Seth Williams

And with the Master Best of Income podcast, it's literally 90 of solo shows.

Seth Williams

You've been on 4 a lot because they're friends, they're.

Seth Williams

I was like, hey, let's.

Seth Williams

I want to bring you on, see how you're doing.

Seth Williams

And so the podcast, because as I wrote a blog article, I would see the analytics a minute, maybe a minute and a half.

Seth Williams

They get just stay looking at stuff and then they're gone.

Seth Williams

I do get some people that want to connect after that, but YouTube, let's say I make a 12 minute video.

Seth Williams

Literally.

Seth Williams

Tch.

Seth Williams

If you.

Seth Williams

They might stay five minutes, four and a half, five, maybe six minutes.

Seth Williams

I know you're probably better at it.

Seth Williams

You're really good at it, at it.

Seth Williams

But, but the podcast, let's say 100 of the people start, start 30 minutes later or whenever the podcast episode's done.

Seth Williams

I absolutely have 80% of the people still listening to the episodes.

Seth Williams

I'm like, man, it's 30 plus minutes or longer that I'm helping somebody that they're staying.

Seth Williams

So everything came like, well, let me, let me back it up.

Seth Williams

Walls of all steps.

Seth Williams

So Roopcon definitely came for the podcast, the conference, the clubs that we have, the coaching that we have.

Seth Williams

But that all started with my real estate investing.

Seth Williams

Like you, even the podcast, like, everything centers around my real estate investing and how I invest in real estate and it kind of grows and adapts.

Seth Williams

Like I started with single family homes, bought enough properties where I didn't have to work anymore, started successfully unemployed or sorry, was a successful employee, started a master passive income podcast, successful, employed podcast.

Seth Williams

But I realized that if I keep all of my work time effort focused around my investing, like as I grow, let's say I grow into what I have grown into, a multifamily like commercial or real estate, then that the content starts coming out.

Seth Williams

Then we start helping people in that regard.

Seth Williams

And so everything centers around my real estate investment because that's where I make money.

Seth Williams

Now I do make money through, you know, coaching and stuff like that and somebody or no.

Seth Williams

I asked my wife say, hey honey, we got plenty of money coming in and you know, should I coach people for free?

Seth Williams

And she said, no, you better not.

Seth Williams

If you're going to do, don't do it.

Seth Williams

Just stay home and homeschool the kids.

Seth Williams

That's valid.

Speaker A

Yeah, well, it's, that's the thing about coaching is I think a lot of people don't understand it's actually kind of a costly thing for the coach when you consider the time they put into it, what their time is worth.

Speaker A

And also like how Many years.

Speaker A

And, uh, was what they had to go through to have the knowledge that they can then deliver through coaching.

Speaker A

Like, it's.

Speaker A

There's a lot that goes into it.

Speaker A

I think a lot of people don't necessarily see that.

Speaker A

They just see a big expensive price tag.

Speaker A

And you know, well, just like you.

Seth Williams

Go to obviously say you bring in somebody who does H Vac, you know, heaters or ever edition stuff, you get somebody that does H vac, come into your house to fix your H Vac.

Seth Williams

Well, you can't fix it because you don't have all the years doing it, the education, the experience and history doing it.

Seth Williams

So you're not just paying for that hour coming in.

Seth Williams

You're paying for all the past history.

Seth Williams

Just like a doctor, hey, doctor, you know, sews you up by the.

Seth Williams

You cut yourself and you get stitches and stuff.

Seth Williams

You're not paying for that.

Seth Williams

You know, those ditches specifically as well as the hour or 30 minutes.

Seth Williams

You're paying for all of his extensive history and experience to get to that point to be able to take care of anything you need.

Seth Williams

And so that's what's interesting about coaching.

Seth Williams

I've literally spent my life doing this and I've lost so much money doing it the wrong way.

Seth Williams

So it took me about nine years eventually because financially independent and I probably lost 50, 60, 70, just thousands of dollars doing it the wrong way.

Seth Williams

I would gladly have given up that 50, $60,000 paid somebody that would help me, that would make my nine years turn into three or four or five, like short time.

Seth Williams

It's fast tracking and I want to.

Dustin Heiner

Pause for a quick second and share that honestly, I really want you to invest in real estate.

Dustin Heiner

Now.

Dustin Heiner

My new goal is to help 1 million people invest in real estate.

Dustin Heiner

So two things I would ask from you.

Dustin Heiner

Number one, if you get anything out of this episode, please share it with somebody else.

Seth Williams

Because the more that actual normal, everyday people own real estate that are good.

Dustin Heiner

Landlords, the better everybody's life gets.

Seth Williams

And so that's something that's interesting for me is my students, like, it took me nine years, cost me a lot of money.

Seth Williams

The school of hard knocks is cost a lot of money.

Seth Williams

But my students are doing it like three and four and five years because they fast tracked it.

Seth Williams

Just like your students know some of your students.

Seth Williams

I'm like, wow, that person is doing really, really good because they had somebody help them to get that leg.

Speaker A

I got.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah, totally, man.

Speaker A

So you got not just the mass Passive income podcast, but like a whole network of podcasts, which has been kind of a big, kind of an aha moment for me.

Speaker A

I just never thought about that, about having several related podcasts all under one roof.

Speaker A

What are all the podcasts now?

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

So honestly, it was out of necessity.

Seth Williams

So I'll answer a question, but I'll get to reason why it's out of necessity.

Seth Williams

So there's breakthrough investors, Charles and William, my students who are coaches.

Seth Williams

I was like, you need a podcast because people need to learn from you too.

Seth Williams

We have the Passive income life with Zach Zimmer.

Seth Williams

He is just like me in investor status size, meaning we, we just make our money through real estate.

Seth Williams

And he's teaching advanced investing, like node investing.

Seth Williams

Right.

Seth Williams

All that sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

We have Real Escape kind of playing words.

Seth Williams

Real Escape Podcast.

Seth Williams

Real Escape Investing podcast.

Seth Williams

That's Terry Shower.

Seth Williams

She's up in Canada.

Seth Williams

So if I have any Canadian students, I send her up there or send them up to her and vice versa.

Seth Williams

She sends people down here.

Seth Williams

We also have YouTube passive income because it's like, I have a good friend that teaches passive income on YouTube and he's great and he wants to be a part of it.

Seth Williams

Let's do it then.

Seth Williams

We're also creating the master pass of Income Espanol because there's a lot of Spanish speaking people and I have a student who's doing so well and wants to be a part of it.

Seth Williams

But it came out of necessity and what it really was.

Seth Williams

I knew that people wanted to learn other things other than single family homes.

Seth Williams

Maybe they want to learn Airbnb, maybe they wanted to learn, you know, apartment complexes, whatever it might be.

Seth Williams

And I personally did not want to coach those things.

Seth Williams

You want to talk about those?

Seth Williams

I don't want to talk about multifamily because I'M not.

Seth Williams

I don't feel like I'm an expert.

Seth Williams

I have a couple of them, but at the same time, they're better people that we have.

Seth Williams

Oh, we also have one more.

Seth Williams

More the MPI Multifamily podcast, where it's all about commercial real estate investing.

Seth Williams

And it was out of necessity because I had so many people wanting to learn more, but I'm limited and I don't want to teach that stuff.

Seth Williams

So I just grabbed people that said, hey, I want to be doing what you're doing.

Seth Williams

I want to help people.

Seth Williams

And they.

Seth Williams

I said, hey, here's what we could do.

Seth Williams

And that's how it started out of necessities.

Seth Williams

Because people wanted it, I wasn't going to do it.

Seth Williams

Let's bring other people in because now they're the experts too.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

That's awesome.

Seth Williams

I think Ari Tipster is easily voice to do this.

Seth Williams

In fact, well, we were chatting about it that Ari Tipster is a lot about land.

Seth Williams

But I mean, I think people, obviously, they go there for land.

Seth Williams

There's so much more in there that's not just land.

Seth Williams

And I think the only thing that's needed from for you is to have some other people around you.

Seth Williams

It's kind of like with me, like you met, you stayed there being a B7 of us.

Seth Williams

So staying there, you see how it is and you get the right people that's just you guys want to hang out with.

Seth Williams

These are good people.

Seth Williams

And then more than likely.

Seth Williams

Well, let me ask you, do you think that there's somebody, one person inside of your audience now that you either students or audience that may have something to offer that?

Speaker A

Absolutely, yeah.

Speaker A

Actually, I've already like plotted out like four different podcasts we could create.

Speaker A

They just kind of go down different.

Speaker A

Different angles that have to do.

Speaker A

I mean, maybe they have to do with land investing, maybe not.

Speaker A

But I know there's definitely interest in our audience about these things.

Speaker A

So it's like one of the first things on my list when I get back is to start exploring that, talking to those people and say, hey, do you think you'd like to do this about this topic?

Speaker A

And some of them might.

Speaker A

Some of these people I have in mind, I'm almost positive they would say yes.

Speaker A

Others, I'm not totally sure.

Speaker A

But it's just a great idea, though, to leverage the existing audience and a lot of the expertise that I don't necessarily have.

Speaker A

I have some, but like, they're way smarter than I am, so why not let them.

Seth Williams

Yeah, bigger voice and somebody listening to this might be thinking, well what would they have to gain?

Seth Williams

Are they going to get paid?

Seth Williams

What do they have to gamble?

Seth Williams

I kid you not, just by being around you, they're gonna have so much to gain because hey William, this is where I'm going.

Seth Williams

You might help me out real quick.

Seth Williams

Oh yeah, we're friends, work for us.

Seth Williams

I'm gonna help you out.

Seth Williams

Yeah, that's what I do with all my people.

Seth Williams

But at the same time, having a an awesome radical podcast elevates the next fast.

Seth Williams

Like my podcast master Passive Income.

Seth Williams

I have an audio scan and my audience is given basically to all the other podcasts.

Seth Williams

It's like we with everybody else and that elevates that up tremendously because they now have their own audience.

Seth Williams

But it became for me they didn't have to build it up or ground up and now they look at as a better investor.

Seth Williams

Now the network grows.

Seth Williams

And so honestly, if you were asking me, hey Dustin, would you want to do.

Seth Williams

That's me.

Seth Williams

Maybe I'm be a beer.

Seth Williams

That would elevate me even more.

Seth Williams

And so anybody like let's say somebody's listening to us and they think, you know what, I might have something to offer, man, you get so much in return by being around people that are doing.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah, for sure, man.

Speaker A

So I am curious with the rental property investing stuff.

Speaker A

I know you started this many years ago now.

Speaker A

The market was different, the world was different.

Speaker A

Like me, you've been just been doing this for a decade plus.

Speaker A

How has that changed?

Speaker A

Like when you think about people getting into it right now versus the way it was when you started, like is it harder?

Seth Williams

Is it easier?

Speaker A

Is it just different?

Seth Williams

How is it?

Seth Williams

It's just the numbers are different.

Seth Williams

It's the same, I guess would you say level of ease or hardness?

Seth Williams

It's the same.

Seth Williams

It's really a simple process.

Seth Williams

It's a simple like it's easy but it's simple.

Seth Williams

It's not complex.

Seth Williams

And the numbers are just different.

Seth Williams

Prices are higher, interest rates are different or higher.

Seth Williams

You need to work a little harder to find a good area that has good price to rent ratio.

Seth Williams

You know, you hopefully buy the house for a little lower, rent it for more.

Seth Williams

You beg passive income make cash flow every single month.

Seth Williams

And so what I've seen in the changing is people that want to be an investor, they feel like they're out of the market because prices are too high, interest rates are too high and all that sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

Well, it was very easy back in 2012, 2010, 2012, like when it was really just stumble on a house and make money.

Seth Williams

But when you're at I think it seems like the top of the market, it's much harder.

Seth Williams

So you have to do investor type stuff.

Seth Williams

Got to get on wholesalers phone lists, they're going to call you, hey, I have a property, you want to buy it?

Seth Williams

You have to do direct mail.

Seth Williams

I know you land, you guys do lots of direct mail.

Seth Williams

Which my people can learn from that.

Seth Williams

We don't do direct mail because, well, I'm gonna say that very rarely do we direct mail because we have wholesales.

Seth Williams

They are the ones that do all the work we like I most people even I did, I had a job.

Seth Williams

I didn't have the ability to just constantly be talking to sellers and sellers.

Seth Williams

If a wholesaler and if you don't know what a wholesaler is, somebody who finds a seller and then they find a buyer and they put them together and they make money kind of like a realtor but without a license.

Seth Williams

Well, if a wholesaler came to me and said, hey Dustin, I have this project equity, would you want to buy it?

Seth Williams

I'll look at it.

Seth Williams

I don't care if they make 5, 10, 15, $20,000.

Seth Williams

I don't care if the property I buy makes me money in cash flow and I'm not overpying.

Seth Williams

Let's say this, you know, give you example.

Seth Williams

Let's say a going grade for a certain property is $150,000.

Seth Williams

Well if they get it for $60,000 and they mark it up 20,000 and I'm paying 80 and I fix it up for another 20, I'm in $100,000 but it's worth 150.

Seth Williams

Like I don't care.

Seth Williams

You did a great job.

Seth Williams

You got the price low.

Seth Williams

You're getting paid for what you're watching.

Seth Williams

So the only thing that's changed is the numbers.

Seth Williams

But the ease of doing it, sorry.

Seth Williams

The simplicity has not changed.

Seth Williams

It's harder to find because there are more people that are investing and people that don't know how to invest aren't investing.

Seth Williams

Sadly enough we listen to this tick Tock and Instagram gurus.

Seth Williams

I could buy an Airbnb for $800,000, you know, a full time salary by renting an app like sadly you're gonna get cricket trick.

Seth Williams

One quick last thing I'll say is if somebody's going to the Airbnb route, it's totally great.

Seth Williams

But just realize is how saturated everything is.

Seth Williams

Phoenix has literally, I want to say it was like 80,000 in.

Seth Williams

Oh, sorry.

Seth Williams

All of Arizona.

Seth Williams

80,000 Airbnb or short stream listings in Arizona.

Seth Williams

So if you're thinking, I'm gonna buy an Airbnb in Arizona, I'm gonna get it, it's saturated.

Seth Williams

So those are the number one things that I've seen.

Seth Williams

But one quick last thing, people might say, interest rates are so high, my goodness, that's, that's really hard.

Seth Williams

No, it's not.

Seth Williams

Because I don't pay my interest, I don't pay my taxes, I don't pay my mortgage, I don't pay for repairs, I don't pay for my property manager.

Seth Williams

Like I don't have to get a job to do that.

Seth Williams

My tenants pay for me.

Seth Williams

So I have the rents.

Seth Williams

I make sure my expenses are lower than that.

Seth Williams

That's my cataphy, the difference before I buy the product or equity.

Seth Williams

And then when I buy it, I make sure those expenses are paid for.

Seth Williams

You know, come in rents and I pay it out to everybody else.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A

Just talking to Zach Zimmer, you talking about the rent to own strategy.

Seth Williams

Do you ever do this?

Seth Williams

I have probably about seven properties that are rent to own.

Seth Williams

And a big reason why I did that was these.

Seth Williams

This is in Youngstown, Arizona, at Youngstown, Ohio.

Seth Williams

And I would not recommend anybody invest in Youngstown, Ohio.

Seth Williams

Would not like, say, hey, yes, this is great.

Seth Williams

This is where I first bought because I had no clue what I was doing.

Seth Williams

Very economically depressed homes at the time.

Seth Williams

I was buying homes for like $12,000 back in 2010.

Seth Williams

Now they're worth 50,000, which is great appreciation.

Seth Williams

But I still make cash flow.

Seth Williams

So I do the rent to own on properties that I don't want to own in 10 years, just like Knobly, you trade up and eventually get to better properties.

Seth Williams

And so now those properties that are, let's say, cash fueling, 500 bucks a month, thousand dollars a month, whatever it might be if doing rent and own.

Seth Williams

It's great that I don't have any expenses because I tell the new, hopefully owners, but the tenants, I say they think of me like the bank.

Seth Williams

I'm just the people.

Seth Williams

This is your property.

Seth Williams

At the furnace goes, that's your responsibility.

Seth Williams

Roof goes out, is your responsibility.

Seth Williams

Electricity, everything is your responsibility.

Seth Williams

You want to paint it, just let me know.

Seth Williams

You're not going to be painting it purple or, you know, pink or something like that.

Seth Williams

So I.

Seth Williams

Because it's my property still.

Seth Williams

But the rent tolerance strategy is terrific because you have no expenses, but you have all the income and properties you don't want to own in 10 years or however long, 15 or whatever you turn it.

Seth Williams

Then you can put that money into something else and you have huge cash fast.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker A

It sounds like with the rent to own route, like even though they have the ability to own it, like most of the time they don't end up owning it.

Speaker A

It's like it's kind of a small percentage that actually makes it to that point.

Speaker A

I know, it's just pretty fascinating talking about.

Speaker A

By the way listeners, if you haven't heard that, I'll include a link to Zach's interview beneath this.

Seth Williams

This here.

Speaker A

But yeah, it just got me thinking a lot more about maybe I should do something like that.

Speaker A

I mean I.

Speaker A

I'm not really looking for rentals at this point.

Speaker A

But the whole rent to own path, the fact that the property management load is a lot lighter because that potential owner or the tenant, it's kind of up to them to take care of it all, you know.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

So I.

Seth Williams

On those properties, I don't have a property manager.

Seth Williams

Like I think I'm using apartments.com was cozy now park stock.

Seth Williams

But I would probably use a company like Turbo Tenant and just collection of the rent.

Seth Williams

Rent, awesome grinding tenant.

Seth Williams

Those working out really, really well.

Seth Williams

But yeah, I love not having expenses.

Seth Williams

That's a really big deal.

Seth Williams

Not having expenses.

Seth Williams

No, you don't have a property in however long the term.

Seth Williams

But yeah, ongoing.

Seth Williams

You don't have any ongoing maintenance, pay for a property manager, all that sort of stuff and you have somebody.

Seth Williams

Here's one quick last thing too.

Seth Williams

If like Youngstown, it's very economically depressed.

Seth Williams

Well, if everybody's a renter and nobody cares about the neighborhood, so neighbor neighbor's going down.

Seth Williams

If people own, they actually have pride of ownership and they want to take care of the property.

Seth Williams

Does that make sense?

Speaker A

You were talking a little bit about Turbo Tenant.

Speaker A

What do you think is the like the best.

Speaker A

But what property management software do you use these days?

Speaker A

I don't hear about them all the time.

Speaker A

I get them reach out to me wanting to promote them.

Speaker A

Which is funny because I don't really talk much about rental properties anymore.

Speaker A

But like what do you think is the best one out there right now?

Seth Williams

The one that I've seen that I like the most because there's quite a few.

Seth Williams

I only bring up the other ones.

Seth Williams

But Turbo Tenant has been pretty good.

Seth Williams

They've been pretty good.

Seth Williams

They have.

Seth Williams

They've been growing and building out their systems and they have a leasing tool.

Seth Williams

So if you're going to be doing your own property management, which is what turbo tenant would be for?

Seth Williams

They.

Seth Williams

It creates and it's like a wizard that you walk through, answer questions and it creates a lease, an actual lease for you and then you just kick a button and it emails to them.

Seth Williams

I think DocuSigns, I'm pretty sure docusigns it and sends it back to you.

Seth Williams

Doc.

Seth Williams

So simple.

Seth Williams

And they have lawyers that have every single state created release for that state.

Seth Williams

Wow.

Speaker A

Yeah, that is nice.

Speaker A

They handle tenant screening, rent collection, all that stuff.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

And the tenant screening, I mean it's really.

Seth Williams

They do a background check on the tenant.

Seth Williams

They also check for evictions, all that sort credit.

Seth Williams

But in the end it's all on one screen which is really good.

Seth Williams

They're also got the accounting type software too.

Seth Williams

There's.

Seth Williams

They've been really, really good.

Seth Williams

I've seen them put effort like apartments.com.

Seth Williams

they don't put any effort behind their property management.

Seth Williams

It's like basically a dead dead thing.

Speaker A

That's basically what cozy used to be, right?

Speaker A

Apartments.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

It is amazing though.

Speaker A

I don't know why any landlord or rental owner these days would not be using something like that like the software out there.

Speaker A

There's so many options that make it so much easier than it used to be with all the rent collection stuff.

Seth Williams

And the only thing that I would say that a reason why I don't use it on all my properties because I hire property managers and they have buildium or software, property management software that they, they take care of everything.

Seth Williams

Because I don't want to property manage.

Seth Williams

I really really don't.

Seth Williams

I love not working.

Seth Williams

I love passive income.

Seth Williams

That's why I have badger Passive income was because I wanted to do other things and manage my properties.

Seth Williams

And when I buy the property, I don't buy it unless the property manager have already vetted and said hey, would you manage this?

Seth Williams

How much will it rent for it?

Seth Williams

Was the clientele like all that sort of stuff?

Seth Williams

They say no, I won't manage it.

Seth Williams

Then you don't buy it.

Seth Williams

You don't waste your money because it might be a bad area.

Seth Williams

In fact some people said yeah, I tried to find a property manager and they said they wouldn't manage it because they'll get shot.

Seth Williams

That error Eric's Then I'm glad you would have a liability of an asset.

Seth Williams

So.

Seth Williams

So that's for me it's like, it's like first I try to get a property manager.

Seth Williams

I'm sorry I first I focus on getting property manager.

Seth Williams

But if one turns into a rent to Own or I've owned it for a long time and I can manage it myself because like oh my house in Phoenix, I have that as a midterm rental.

Seth Williams

That's where you went over 30, 60, 90 days long.

Seth Williams

Traveling executives, those you make a lot more money than long term.

Seth Williams

Give you example, $2,100.

Seth Williams

They could rent my laundromat property, but I'm getting 3,500.

Seth Williams

But you got to remember you get more expenses.

Seth Williams

Electricity is in your name, wi fi or Internet's in your name, things like that.

Seth Williams

So I'm probably making about 600, maybe to $800 more by doing the midterms and I don't have to worry about short term which is lease is changing over.

Seth Williams

But anyway so I have that one property and then with that I bought a new house to listen that is paying my mortgage on this next one which is great because that bless the house free if you're free and clear.

Seth Williams

But that's what I love about real estate is you can trade up.

Seth Williams

So the Phoenix one is paying for my one in Tennessee right at the rent.

Seth Williams

We're going to buy a new house and move into that one.

Seth Williams

And that Tennessee house is short term property.

Seth Williams

It was already rented short term.

Seth Williams

That's going to pay for my new house.

Seth Williams

So it's a boom, boom, boom and then keep doing that over and over again.

Seth Williams

Just one of many strategies.

Speaker A

Yeah, interesting.

Speaker A

How much time does it take you to run your rental property business each week or month?

Seth Williams

I would say it's probably about 30 minutes a month.

Speaker A

Yeah, that's just like what checking financials to see what happened if there's any.

Seth Williams

Check got in my bank account like okay, got the check make look at the statement maybe if there's anything going on because you even though you find, you try your best to find a really good property manager because they're your bread, your quarterback.

Seth Williams

If you don't have a good quarterback on your team, it's going to be bad.

Seth Williams

So my best property managers I keep and bad ones I get rid of and I find a good one.

Seth Williams

But then you just look at make sure that they're doing everything you want them to do.

Seth Williams

But just by looking at the statements, that's literally all you need to do.

Seth Williams

Did rent come in, how are the expenses and then put it away and go back to doing other things.

Seth Williams

That's honestly how I was able to build massive, massive income.

Seth Williams

Rootcon, the rest of webzools, conference, all that sort of stuff and podcast, you know, talk to good people like you and get, make new friends because I didn't have to focus on my business.

Seth Williams

Zach, on the other hand, is the one thing I'm trying to help him.

Seth Williams

So definitely everybody should go back and listen to Zach's episode.

Seth Williams

He's really, he's got, he's been investing for a long time, just like me.

Seth Williams

But at the same time I was trying to help him.

Seth Williams

I said, you know what, you have your rental loans, you manage those yourself.

Seth Williams

He says, well, you know, three quarters of the year I don't do much but, but what about that one quarter of the year you're doing a lot like you have an active getting dentists, getting new people in, all this sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

Why don't you hire somebody, a property manager to make sure it gets done?

Seth Williams

Well, you know, let's say 40 properties.

Seth Williams

I'm going to be out $5,000 a month at $60,000 a year I can make up.

Seth Williams

But if you think about it to scale, your time is the limiting factor.

Seth Williams

You don't have enough time to get to 80 or 100.

Seth Williams

If you got to a hundred, you don't have the time personally to get there.

Seth Williams

So you're, you're gonna be stuck 60s however, and then you're gonna be busy all year long.

Seth Williams

How much better would be be take that 60 grand they could already into your expenses because you know, I pay for this before I buy it.

Seth Williams

And then you have, you hire an entire employee 60 grand.

Seth Williams

So he lives in Akron.

Seth Williams

$60,000 a year for somebody lives in Akron is really good money.

Seth Williams

And that's, that's great money.

Seth Williams

And you can have a full time employee the entire year doing work for you and then you can continue to scale your business.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Interesting.

Speaker A

What do you think is your unfair advantage when you think of all the stuff you've done, success you've had with rentals and Rubecon and mass passive income and can you think of anything that like you're really good at that the average person isn't?

Speaker A

And sometimes it gets really hard to even identify because to you it seems normal because it's you.

Speaker A

But can you discern or think of anything like I've done really well because I'm good at this.

Seth Williams

Let me ask you that in a reverse way.

Seth Williams

Do you perceive anything?

Seth Williams

Can you, can you think of anything that I have?

Seth Williams

Because I can see what you have that when I'm like, oh, I don't have that.

Seth Williams

I know that's good, but do you see anything in me?

Speaker A

Oh yeah, totally.

Speaker A

I think you're a really strong leader.

Speaker A

You're really good at leading with confidence.

Speaker A

You're a really good networker for sure.

Speaker A

Like, just the fact that, like, I get texts from you all the time, but, like, you know, once a month or something like that, and I'm one of how many hundreds of people you know?

Speaker A

You know, like, you just don't hesitate to reach out to people, help.

Speaker A

And in doing that, you're also letting them know, like, hey, I'm here to help you too.

Speaker A

Like, I don't even think to do that kind of stuff.

Speaker A

Like, I'm much more prone to working in a silo, which is not really that healthy.

Speaker A

And you also think big.

Speaker A

You don't let little things and doubts hold you back.

Speaker A

Like, you just kind of almost assume it can be done until you're told otherwise.

Speaker A

Like, all these things combine to make a heck of a superpower.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

And that there's probably more, but that's.

Seth Williams

Just off the top of my head, man.

Seth Williams

Thank you.

Seth Williams

That was fantastic.

Seth Williams

It may be Thor encrypting.

Seth Williams

And then for you, what I'm seeing is that how diligent you are.

Seth Williams

Like, I'm pretty diligent, but you were above and beyond.

Seth Williams

And then seeing, like, the detail.

Seth Williams

And it's not just detail because I'm pretty detail oriented, but, like, the preciseness, the quality of, like, the YouTube videos.

Seth Williams

And you're teaching people, like, you get right to the point, you cut out things.

Seth Williams

I think they don't need to be there, all that sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

But you're so focused.

Seth Williams

And that's something that.

Seth Williams

Look at what you build.

Seth Williams

Like, ray tips, just like you say, no, I'm going to get this done.

Seth Williams

This is going to be the best ploy.

Seth Williams

Would you consider yourself a fractionist?

Speaker A

You know, maybe in some respects, I mean, more so than the average person, I think.

Speaker A

Yeah, maybe.

Speaker A

Yeah, it is.

Speaker A

I guess I look at it like, a lot of the videos that I make, I try to make them evergreen in nature.

Speaker A

Like, I don't want what I'm saying today to be irrelevant in 12 months.

Speaker A

Sometimes you can't get around.

Speaker A

That's just how it is, depending on the subject matter.

Speaker A

But when I'm making stuff that's evergreen, I think to myself, okay, this video is going to be watched by thousands of people for years into the future.

Speaker A

And when I think about it that way, it's like every little dumb thing I said in there that doesn't need to be there, it's now multiplied by thousands of times.

Speaker A

All these people are having to listen to me drone out about stuff that doesn't matter.

Speaker A

So I just go maybe even too far sometimes where I really try to like just make a super lean delivery.

Speaker A

Doesn't always work.

Speaker A

But that's just sort of the mindset.

Seth Williams

I go into it with.

Seth Williams

That's all right.

Seth Williams

So let me take that in a same direction.

Seth Williams

Ask in a different way.

Seth Williams

So thousands of thousands of people, it's going to be out there later once it's on the Internet and it never gets deleted, it's always there.

Seth Williams

What are you going to do that's going to help Yukonora to have your level of success in loads of life too?

Seth Williams

Like business.

Seth Williams

You have real estate investing.

Seth Williams

You also have Ari ticker and.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

What, what are your thoughts with that?

Seth Williams

I'll give you quickly what I've been doing while you're, while you're thinking about how you're going to do that or you are doing it.

Seth Williams

My goal was to help each one of my kids before they turn 17.

Seth Williams

So 1 to 16 to buy the first rental property.

Seth Williams

Now getting a loan is going to be really, really hard.

Seth Williams

So obviously it helps.

Seth Williams

It's the benefit that their dad is there.

Seth Williams

But I'm coaching them.

Seth Williams

They're going through the exact same thing that all my students go through.

Seth Williams

The course.

Seth Williams

They're learning all that sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

Stuff they do have their own savings.

Seth Williams

Like Ellie.

Seth Williams

Ellie just bought her first property and should cash through about 250 bucks a month for a kid.

Seth Williams

That's great.

Seth Williams

And she has saved $30,000 which is this isn't for a down payment.

Seth Williams

He has a business.

Seth Williams

I'm going to do things I can to help.

Seth Williams

But I said hey Ellie, Ellie.

Seth Williams

True for all my kids.

Seth Williams

Five kids now we're very blessed to have five amazing kids.

Seth Williams

All the money that you make in passive income, we can't spend it.

Seth Williams

That's the one criteria.

Seth Williams

Yeah, yeah.

Seth Williams

Or whatever.

Seth Williams

Whatever term that I had, I had is, is you can't spend that money because if you're smart and you do what I tell you, you keep that money in there, we save it and you make other money outside.

Seth Williams

And then we buy another property.

Seth Williams

Let's say we one property a year at minimum.

Seth Williams

You're 16 now.

Seth Williams

By the time you're 26, you're going have 10 properties making you a minimum of like $5,000 a month.

Seth Williams

Do you have the fortitude and the delayed gratification self control trope?

Seth Williams

She said yes.

Seth Williams

And like okay, we'll do that.

Seth Williams

So every single one of my kids are going to be doing.

Seth Williams

Loaded question.

Seth Williams

Because I.

Seth Williams

I gave you what I'm doing.

Seth Williams

Doing, but yeah.

Seth Williams

Have you thought about how you're going to have Luke and Nora to become successful?

Speaker A

That's a great question.

Speaker A

I feel like I have not thought about it enough.

Speaker A

And I think my excuse is that they're still pretty young.

Speaker A

They're like 8 and 10 years old.

Speaker A

But I mean, it's probably perfect time to start getting.

Seth Williams

They're gonna blink and they're gonna be totally.

Speaker A

I already feel like I've blanked and they were like babies yesterday.

Speaker A

You're there now.

Seth Williams

Well, we've been listening to your kids for a couple years now.

Seth Williams

As they've grown or my kids, they feel like they've nourished.

Speaker A

I think part of it is I pay a lot of attention to, like, the strengths that I perceive them both having.

Speaker A

And they're both fairly different.

Speaker A

Like, Nora, she's very creative, kind of a social butterfly, and just a ton of fun to be around.

Speaker A

Luke is very, like, detail oriented.

Speaker A

Like, he would probably make a great account, for example.

Speaker A

So, like, very different kinds of strengths.

Speaker A

So in terms of, like, trying to steer them both down a career path, I don't know.

Speaker A

Like, I don't.

Speaker A

I don't want to say, like, you need to do land or you need to do self serve or you have to rent our.

Speaker A

Like, I just.

Speaker A

I don't know what they're gonna love, but I think more generally speaking.

Speaker A

So Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter years ago wrote this book, Rich kids, Smart Kid.

Speaker A

And I don't hear about it a lot, but I listened to it a couple years ago.

Speaker A

There were a lot of big takeaways I got from it.

Speaker A

And one of them was that as parents, we need to be really careful about controlling our children's perceptions about how smart they are.

Speaker A

Because the school system judges them on a very narrow criteria and it's very academic.

Speaker A

And if they like, do bad on a test, it's like, okay, the message is dumb.

Seth Williams

Yes, exactly.

Speaker A

And it's all down.

Speaker A

And it's like, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker A

Like, everyone is a genius at something.

Speaker A

Just because you don't measure up to that standard does not mean you're going to be very successful at something else in life.

Speaker A

And you see them struggle at anything in school.

Speaker A

And I haven't seen him struggle much yet.

Speaker A

But if that does happen, just helping them understand, like, this is not the end of the story.

Speaker A

Like, there's so many other things to life and this is not the way to Perceive yourself through that one narrow lens.

Speaker A

But I think just in general, like, you know the basics of financial literacy and just like rich dad, poor dad type stuff, like the asset column, the liability column, stuff that's not taught in school at all, like making sure at a very least they get that.

Speaker A

Understand?

Speaker A

Like, do you want to be wealthy?

Speaker A

Spend your life buying assets?

Speaker A

Like, don't throw it at things that lose money, just that kind of essential stuff.

Speaker A

And I think as they get older, that's when I'll probably start looking a lot closer, like wages.

Speaker A

I want to go down the rental poverty path.

Speaker A

Let's get into that.

Seth Williams

What age would that be though?

Seth Williams

Because you got to plan down.

Seth Williams

Because.

Speaker A

Totally agree, totally agree.

Speaker A

I would say.

Speaker A

I mean, I feel like 14 is when you're like, you're right on the cusp of being an adult.

Speaker A

I mean, two years from then you've got your license.

Seth Williams

100 years ago, people were getting married at 14.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Seth Williams

So.

Speaker A

So what do you think is a good age?

Speaker A

Like 12, 14.

Seth Williams

So obviously teaching them principles very, very early.

Seth Williams

In fact, I would, I would suggest, if you don't mind me making a suggestion.

Speaker A

Yeah, go for it.

Seth Williams

Have them play the rich sample dad Cash flame.

Seth Williams

Cash Flow for kids did start, and after about, I don't know, a dozen times, my kids were kind of bored with it because they were like, they, they know how to, how to do it.

Seth Williams

Now I'm like one person.

Seth Williams

Well, they learn how to game it.

Seth Williams

I'm like, that's what life is or that's what business is.

Seth Williams

It's like, it's.

Seth Williams

Honestly, it's a game.

Seth Williams

You just have to figure out how to play it well.

Seth Williams

And as soon as you figure that out, it's going to be fine.

Seth Williams

Finances, you just got to figure out how to do it right.

Seth Williams

And so they successfully did that.

Seth Williams

Now they play cash flow, the actual cash flow, which takes time.

Seth Williams

And they're like, as soon as they.

Seth Williams

Okay, so they're playing the game of AIM Life.

Seth Williams

It's a different board game.

Seth Williams

If you get the doctor, you're like, I'm a doctor.

Seth Williams

I make a lot of money in cash flow.

Seth Williams

They would pull the doctor Income High Express.

Seth Williams

Most people spend the money.

Seth Williams

Benny and Stevie said he, yeah, can we just take out Dr.

Seth Williams

As being somebody hates and eats well.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

Cuz.

Seth Williams

Cuz go right ahead.

Seth Williams

She has to.

Seth Williams

Small suggestion would be you can never start to sue you with small principles of saving money, being charitable giving, having responsibilities.

Seth Williams

And then rich dad, poor dad, kids.

Seth Williams

Cash flow is really helpful because it leads the income call and expense calling.

Seth Williams

But also one quick thing that I also do, ever since my kids are born, every bit of money that they get, we teach them financially, like principal.

Seth Williams

Half of it goes into savings, like 50%.

Seth Williams

So they get 10 bucks, five goes into the baby, too.

Seth Williams

And they don't touch that for, like, maybe buying a car, buying a house, like it's 10 years, 15 years from now.

Seth Williams

And then 20% goes to mommy to pay for her responsibilities.

Seth Williams

Hey, don't just get money.

Seth Williams

You have responsibility.

Seth Williams

You pay for, you know, food, electricity, and that sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

And then 10% goes to charity or goes to giving, giving.

Seth Williams

If you want to give it to.

Seth Williams

To church, give it to Gog however you want to do it.

Seth Williams

And then the other 20%, they get to spend.

Seth Williams

And so that teaches them at the very, very young age.

Seth Williams

And I know now that it's worked so well that my kids will go.

Seth Williams

They have, let's say, 50 bucks to spend.

Seth Williams

They'll go to Walmart and they look at the toy and they'll be like, oh, this is, this is like, not necessarily garbage, but how much they're wanting me to spend, it's going to break really quickly.

Seth Williams

It's not worth it.

Seth Williams

And they put a.

Seth Williams

My son says to me, dad, I'm mad at you.

Seth Williams

You and mom taught us too good.

Seth Williams

We don't want to buy anything because we can call up on wasting money.

Seth Williams

I'm like, I'm like, praise the Lord.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A

Do you think like.

Speaker A

Like, if you could steer your kids, like, each one of them individually, down a certain career path or real estate best path or whatever, like, would you do that?

Speaker A

Or is there an element of, like, I'm going to teach you the basics and then you need to figure out for yourself what's going to work best for you.

Seth Williams

So I'm going to say this was, you know, make some people irritated or upset.

Seth Williams

But how I see with my kids, nobody cares about my kids better or more than me.

Seth Williams

Nobody loves them more than me.

Seth Williams

Nobody has the same morality that I want them to have.

Seth Williams

And so that's why we homeschool.

Seth Williams

We homeschool our kids.

Seth Williams

And then when my kids.

Seth Williams

So my kids are learning how to play the piano, they're actually getting pretty good.

Seth Williams

But I heard, you know, I would hear people say, say, well, hey, Billy, little Billy, like, they're.

Seth Williams

They're another family.

Seth Williams

Do you like playing the piano?

Seth Williams

No, I don't really like it.

Dustin Heiner

Okay.

Seth Williams

You don't have to do it anymore.

Seth Williams

No, I don't believe that.

Seth Williams

I say you were playing the piano.

Seth Williams

Of course they want to go play Xbox or that Sci fi, whatever, Switch or whatever.

Seth Williams

They want to play video games being on the Internet.

Seth Williams

No, you are going to do this.

Seth Williams

This is what mommy and daddy is telling you to do.

Seth Williams

And so getting them so they have to push through something that's hard, number one.

Seth Williams

But number two, think about real estate or making money, whatever it might be.

Seth Williams

I get any of the principles.

Seth Williams

Like right now they see if they buy one rental property, that makes them 250amonth, that's $3,000 a year and a 16 year old, that's not bad to not work.

Seth Williams

And so what I am doing is if they don't want to learn, you're still going to learn.

Seth Williams

It's part of our homeschool curriculum.

Seth Williams

Just like you're still going to learn history at public school.

Seth Williams

You're still going to learn.

Seth Williams

No, no, this is your curriculum.

Seth Williams

This is what you're going to learn.

Seth Williams

You're going to learn financial education, you're going to learn how to invest in real estate.

Seth Williams

And then if you in the future choose to not do it, that's on you.

Seth Williams

But this is a curriculum that you have to go through.

Seth Williams

And then one quick last thing was in pushing them in a direction like my boys, I'm helping them to learn that getting a trade, learning to trade, electrician or plumber, something like that is going to be so amazing for you.

Seth Williams

You're not going to be spending 50, 60, $100,000 going to college or university.

Seth Williams

They're going to pay to learn how to become an electrician and they're going to make so much more money and nobody else is doing that.

Seth Williams

Both keep on retiring, trying to get rid of businesses because they don't have anybody taking it over.

Seth Williams

It's such a great path.

Seth Williams

So that's how I view my teaching them how to invest in real estate, but rental properties by far, helping them get their first.

Seth Williams

And if they don't want it anymore or if they don't want to continue, that's on them.

Speaker A

Yeah, interesting.

Speaker A

Well, I know in your personal career path, so you used to work.

Speaker A

It's like a government job, kind of a desk job, white collar thing.

Speaker A

During that you started to buy rental properties and eventually stop.

Seth Williams

I forget you get laid off after our fourth child.

Seth Williams

I get back to work after paternity leave for like two weeks.

Seth Williams

You know, staying home on a Friday, I get a click.

Seth Williams

It's like, my goodness, who's had a fourth child?

Seth Williams

You leave me off.

Seth Williams

So yes, yeah.

Speaker A

So like knowing how, how it worked for you like that, that career path of going to college, getting that kind of job, getting rental properties, here you are today.

Speaker A

What if you've been told back then no, let's do trades instead.

Speaker A

Like do you think that would have been the right decision for you?

Speaker A

Like do you ever wish I shouldn't gone to college, I should not have gotten that white collar job.

Speaker A

I should have been become an electrician instead.

Speaker A

Because that would have been better because of.

Speaker A

I don't know.

Seth Williams

I would absolutely say, well, I had two different paths because my dad was a contractor.

Seth Williams

So I actually did forget framing.

Seth Williams

Framing builds the entire house.

Seth Williams

But they make the least amount of money.

Seth Williams

It's electricity more dangerous, you know, bumming.

Seth Williams

They make a lot more money.

Seth Williams

But my dad was a contractor and he did not encourage keep going in the trade because it's eat up your body.

Seth Williams

Especially framer.

Seth Williams

He wasn't an electrician, he wasn't a plumber.

Seth Williams

He wasn't somebody that was more by H vac, like technical.

Seth Williams

And so he didn't encourage me knowing now realizing that man, they make so much more money if you are an electrician or a plumber.

Seth Williams

You can even have your own business and set your own hours and your ceiling is you know, building a business.

Seth Williams

I would much rather on that than I was thought I was taught by my parents, get a career, work at the government, you're never going to get fired.

Seth Williams

Go little the day path.

Seth Williams

But then I learned the hard way, safe is not true.

Seth Williams

There's no such thing as safe.

Seth Williams

In fact I got laid off after I had our fourth child.

Seth Williams

So in the end it's not that safe.

Seth Williams

So if I were to have gotten, I don't know if I would have listened but me teaching my kids, I'm like, you know what?

Seth Williams

This is the path that I wish I would have gone.

Seth Williams

So yes this.

Seth Williams

So I guess in the end it's something that I wish would happen to me.

Seth Williams

And then helping my boys to understand also the girls, the girls, my wife teaching them how to be good moms, how to cook, how to take care of the kids and all that sort of stuff.

Seth Williams

Manage the household.

Seth Williams

And so the boys up providing and the girls staying home.

Seth Williams

And that's like my wife's stay at home mom.

Seth Williams

So she would love to see our kids be stay at home moms as well.

Seth Williams

So be clear.

Speaker A

So you wish you would have not gone to college and you would have been an electrician?

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

Okay, well no, let me take that back.

Seth Williams

I.

Seth Williams

You can Never.

Seth Williams

At least I don't think anybody could or should say, I wish this didn't happen because my life would have been dead.

Seth Williams

I'm here because of the path that I took and I'm blessed to be able next year with my kids because I've learned like, I, I do have some business skills.

Seth Williams

I got a business college degree, I've applied some of those.

Seth Williams

But in the end, I'm looking back now, it's like, would I have gone into real estate?

Seth Williams

I might not have like buying real estate.

Seth Williams

I might have just kept building an electric electrician business, I don't know.

Seth Williams

But right now I'm blessed that this is where I'm at, but, but grateful for everything I went through because that made me who I am.

Speaker A

Well, Matthews, I know like, it had a very similar career path to you, went to college, worked in a, not a government job, a very similar kind of environment.

Speaker A

But that was part of what enabled me to do what I ended up doing and getting in the land, starting re tipster, you know, ending up where I am today.

Speaker A

If I had become an electrician, which is a very hands on, active job, we're out in the field, all that, you can't just like, you can take a break, get on the computer and write a blog post kind of thing.

Speaker A

Like I wouldn't have been able to do what I'm doing now.

Speaker A

So I don't know, it's, it's weird.

Speaker A

Like, makes, makes me wonder if like maybe there's opportunity in any direction you go or if it's like there's an actual benefit to doing the college path.

Speaker A

Even though like the career, like the 9 to 5 job, that's not really what you're going for, it just sort of carves out a path that lets you use it as a stepping stone to get something further.

Speaker A

I don't know.

Seth Williams

But I think in the end, whatever path somebody takes, as long as they have the desire and I guess determination too, because somebody might go to college and never invest in real estate, never invest in land, never do any of that stuff.

Seth Williams

And I say, and you're missing out, but there are plenty of people like that.

Seth Williams

So everybody has different paths.

Seth Williams

And if they want to invest in real estate, they need to get around people that are doing it.

Seth Williams

Like they need continue to listen to Ari Tipster or my podcast Master Passive Income.

Seth Williams

They need to continue being around people, going to meetups, um, reading blog posts.

Seth Williams

I was like, if you don't, if that's your goal, then you need to put time and Effort towards it.

Seth Williams

Yeah, well, I like also Schwarzenegger is a really good thing.

Seth Williams

So somebody would say, I'll have very similar things, but about lifting weight.

Seth Williams

But you know, if you want success and you're thinking, well, I have a job, I have a wife and kids.

Seth Williams

I have X, Y and Z.

Seth Williams

I'm not going to be able to spend the time to learn how to, you know, invest in land or buy real estate.

Seth Williams

I didn't have the time to do it.

Seth Williams

Schwarzenegger's answer is, well, sleep faster, Esther.

Seth Williams

That's all you got to do, sleep faster.

Seth Williams

Because we all have 24 hours in a day.

Seth Williams

We all different situations, scenarios, issues, problems, whatever it might be.

Seth Williams

But we also also have different benefits or quote, unquote privilege.

Seth Williams

But like things that are beneficial to us, that we can utilize to help us.

Seth Williams

Because if you focus on the negative, like I don't have, I don't have.

Seth Williams

I don't have.

Seth Williams

Well, Seth did this.

Seth Williams

He had to sit down job that he could do X, Y and Z and send us.

Seth Williams

You focus on what you don't have, then you're going to keep not having.

Seth Williams

If you focus on what you do have and say, how can I then change this to benefit me and make this be my strength?

Seth Williams

You're going to figure it out.

Speaker A

Yeah, it's a great point, man.

Speaker A

Because everybody does have something.

Speaker A

It's just a matter of understanding.

Speaker A

Because like we were talking about earlier, like your super strengths and my super strengths, like, we all have these things, but it takes the discernment to figure out what are those things.

Speaker A

And now that I know them, how do I leverage those?

Speaker A

Because the average person doesn't have that.

Seth Williams

Absolutely.

Seth Williams

And Mike, well, let's say for Master Passive Income, I know we do not have the quality control, the focus, the diligence.

Seth Williams

Even though I have those things, but I am like more big pictures.

Seth Williams

And so lots of things that aren't as 100%, but I'm like, it's good enough.

Seth Williams

Let's get it out there where you hear like, like, no, good enough is not good enough.

Seth Williams

It has to be right.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

And my wife is 100% same way.

Seth Williams

She's like palace.

Seth Williams

It's just not perfect.

Seth Williams

I don't want to do it or we shouldn't do it.

Seth Williams

And it helps.

Seth Williams

It's a balance.

Seth Williams

You know, we're both.

Seth Williams

And we know that the body of believers, we all have different gifts.

Seth Williams

And for somebody to say it's easy that most people have heard that introverts are kind of, maybe not, but it seems like introverts can be envious extroverts because they look like they're having fun.

Seth Williams

But I be honest, I'd say extroverts also have big problems too.

Seth Williams

Some just things happen.

Seth Williams

Just like introverts have negatives, extroverts have negatives.

Seth Williams

And so what you need, what I found is that if you're introvert or extrovert, you need to lean into whatever it is.

Seth Williams

Not just like, like extrovert always being out with every single person or introvert always being inside and not being like my brother, like you guys are very, very similar.

Seth Williams

Is, is a definitely an introvert.

Seth Williams

He loves working on his business.

Seth Williams

Like I asked you what's your favorite too?

Seth Williams

I like doing my business and so but we need to have like we all have different gifts but if we lean on our gift and make those strengths as opposed to, well, I don't have, I don't have.

Seth Williams

Then you're going to, by leaning into those strengths, you're going to make those be super strength.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah man, for sure.

Speaker A

Cool.

Speaker A

Well, well, you got any big takeaways?

Speaker A

Oh, these things all messed up.

Seth Williams

Oh, I did this to me.

Speaker A

Any place else you want to take this or.

Seth Williams

Yeah, yeah, no, I.

Seth Williams

So, so okay, I'll just go ahead start.

Dustin Heiner

Sir.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Seth Williams

So what would you think is like Ari Tipster?

Seth Williams

Like I genuinely want to know.

Seth Williams

I think Ari Tipster is poised to just grow.

Seth Williams

I mean let's say take over bigger pockets or something.

Seth Williams

Like see it be, it can grow.

Seth Williams

But honestly the limitation is you just like me limitation is me, everybody's limitations ourself, we people around us.

Seth Williams

But like what would you be your.

Seth Williams

If you had.

Seth Williams

I don't know if you have it but like if you can make a brain out five year vision.

Seth Williams

Where would you like to see Ari Tipster in five years?

Speaker A

Yeah, it's a good question.

Speaker A

I feel like I'm actually having a lot of light bulb moments here at this conference we're at, but I think I definitely have to do a better job of leveraging other people which is like it's not that I haven't done that, but I think maybe I need to find, selectively pick the right people, get division and they, they just don't need as much oversight because they're just doing it right in the first place.

Speaker A

And I, I think I just struggle at looking at the world through that lens.

Speaker A

Like I'm not even looking for it but like it's totally there.

Speaker A

I can think of like, you know, at least five or Six people off the top of my head right now that I would be great to work with.

Speaker A

So I think it's just understanding, like you're limiting yourself, Seth, by just making everything kind of pass through you.

Speaker A

Like there's only so far you can ever get with that.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

And I am doing some of this, but I think there's a ton of room to do a lot more of that.

Speaker A

So in terms of five year vision, it would probably be, you know, leveraging other people.

Speaker A

And frankly, like, I've never been great at five year visions.

Speaker A

For me it's more like six months.

Speaker A

Like, where's this going to be then?

Speaker A

Part of that I think is somewhat useful because the world and the Internet changes so much in five years.

Speaker A

Like, it's almost pointless to think of what the world's gonna look like five years from now.

Speaker A

Yeah, I think it would be leveraging the strengths of other people to grow this far beyond myself.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

And I found too that if you focus not on either money, like dollar amount, that's, that's reach us money or the amount of money, or this, let's say we need to start a new podcast and that's the goal.

Seth Williams

Well, you're missing out on both of those.

Seth Williams

You're missing out on what the real reason why we do it is.

Seth Williams

The people.

Seth Williams

If we miss out on, on who we're trying to reach or what we're trying to reach, like the audience or whatever, whatever, then we miss out on the bigger purpose.

Seth Williams

Because if you miss the people, then there's no point in doing it.

Seth Williams

So what I love to do is I'm gonna, I'm at all good at five people in five years.

Seth Williams

I want to have this.

Seth Williams

Honestly, I didn't even know I wanted a conference.

Seth Williams

I kind of thought, oh, be well to have a real estate investor that I would want to go.

Seth Williams

Most of them are sales pitch or run to the back.

Seth Williams

Hate those.

Seth Williams

So I created the rest of those conferences because it's the opposite of that.

Seth Williams

We're also community helping people, kind of fincom, which where you and I met, I didn't even.

Seth Williams

That wasn't even on the radar, but it came up and I'm like, I like the idea.

Seth Williams

Let me talk to a few friends who has conferences, see if I can pull it off.

Seth Williams

And then I talked to even more people.

Seth Williams

You were the first, literally the first person I called say, hey, this is.

Seth Williams

Give me the green lot, the new board.

Seth Williams

No, they honestly don't have ever.

Seth Williams

But in the meantime, every single thing that I try to do like, I want to write a new book.

Seth Williams

So I have four books.

Seth Williams

I want to write a new book, but the book's going to be about mindset.

Seth Williams

So, so from zero to, let's say, 100 properties, I have all that content, the books I have cast and that stuff for that.

Seth Williams

But from nothing to ready to get to zero, I don't have that, like, mindset.

Seth Williams

Like, you're stuck and you don't even know what's out there.

Seth Williams

Like limiting beliefs to having a abundance mindset versus a what's the other abundance, scarcity mindset.

Seth Williams

Have something that helps people get out of themselves.

Seth Williams

And so I'm like, I want to write that.

Seth Williams

But it just came up.

Seth Williams

It's not like the five years.

Seth Williams

I want to have this next thing.

Seth Williams

But with that, when something does come up, like six months from next, you know what, I can do that one quick.

Seth Williams

You know, I let me put some effort towards or no, some.

Seth Williams

Let me devote myself, get it done.

Seth Williams

But here's another thought too, goes to the idea that a project, whatever, let's say a project writing a, writing a book, it's going to take as much time that you give it to take meaning.

Seth Williams

If I want to write a book and I say, okay, I want to launch it by June of June 26th, well, it's going to take that entire time because that's how much time I give it.

Seth Williams

But if I say I want to branch it by July or sorry, June is 2025, which is only five months away, June of 2025, it's going to take that much time.

Seth Williams

I'm gonna have to, you know, move a little faster and work a little harder or not.

Seth Williams

But it takes that time.

Seth Williams

And so if you say, okay, five years, I want to be here, why don't you start working on it now?

Seth Williams

Does that make sense?

Speaker A

Yeah, absolutely, for sure.

Seth Williams

And so when it's very tipster Getting more people around you, more people that are going to.

Seth Williams

Well, you asked me the question.

Seth Williams

It was, what happens if somebody does something wrong on a podcast that's with you, what do you do?

Seth Williams

Do you remember what my answer was?

Seth Williams

I think they say something wrong or they say in a different way.

Seth Williams

I don't know.

Seth Williams

I'll figure out when I get there.

Seth Williams

Just like when it does happen?

Seth Williams

Well, number one, I don't bring people around me that I don't like being around.

Seth Williams

Like, if I don't like them, it's just like, no, there's.

Seth Williams

It's probably me.

Seth Williams

There's other people you could work with.

Seth Williams

Other people I would.

Seth Williams

So that's number one.

Seth Williams

Number two, people I could trust.

Seth Williams

Like one I could trust because I've seen them and they.

Seth Williams

And number three, they have a similar vision or the same vision direction that we want to go.

Seth Williams

Number four, they're not driven by money.

Seth Williams

Number five, they have a similar type of morality as well.

Seth Williams

So those are main things that I.

Seth Williams

But at the same time, let's say something, there's a hiccup and something's bad happened.

Seth Williams

Well, we'll figure it out.

Seth Williams

Bam.

Seth Williams

And you, you also asked me, well, if somebody's like goes off and does the exact same thing, like, well I make my money through real estate.

Seth Williams

So it's not like, you know, somebody starts their own master password income.

Seth Williams

I'm gonna say, hey, how can I help you?

Seth Williams

So I, I guess this the abundance mindset set because I mean if you have a limited mindset and scarcity mindset, then you feel like the pie is so small you have to fight for it.

Seth Williams

Well, if you only focus on the small pie, you may be missing a bigger pie that is out there for you.

Seth Williams

Like let's say, you know, re tickster, you focus on land investing.

Seth Williams

Well, that's a small pie.

Seth Williams

I mean admittedly it's a small pie.

Seth Williams

Rental properties is a small bigger than land, but it's still small compared to short term property.

Seth Williams

Apartment complexes, storage.

Seth Williams

So so much more.

Seth Williams

So instead of fighting over the Google play, let's make your pie bigger where it encompasses many more things and you had other people to be a part of it.

Speaker A

Yeah, totally.

Speaker A

That makes sense to me.

Speaker A

It's awesome.

Speaker A

Well, any of the big initiatives you're working on right now, like anything people ought to know about.

Speaker A

Yeah, rub count's coming up, but I don't know anything you want people to check out.

Seth Williams

Rubecon is definitely on the top of my mind because April is we're three months away.

Seth Williams

By the way, this is R e.

Speaker A

W b C O n dot com.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

R E W B C O N.

Seth Williams

So like rootcon Real estate wealth builders of conference all agree.

Seth Williams

But yeah, so with that I've had people that come to rootcons the three day once a year events live in person.

Seth Williams

And I had lots of people say, do you have monthly meetups where I live?

Seth Williams

I always say no.

Seth Williams

I was like, no, no, I don't want to do that.

Seth Williams

I don't have that.

Seth Williams

But also because I have so many people wanting to be around everything you're doing.

Seth Williams

They are now starting or it's a part of Our company, the Real Estate Wealth Builders Club.

Seth Williams

So these clubs are actually monthly meetups that are bringing investors together in those cities.

Seth Williams

So.

Seth Williams

So they come to rootcon and at rootcon they're like, man, I've connected these people.

Seth Williams

I want to meet with people monthly.

Seth Williams

Like, you know, because you go, if you're a church, you go to, go to a Christian camp or you go to an event, you're like, get on a high, Tony Rob.

Seth Williams

You get home and life starts getting away.

Seth Williams

Well, what we want Root Club to be is obviously you're going to have the high, but let's keep you going.

Seth Williams

Let's not let you stop and let life get in the way.

Seth Williams

So Root Club, it's actually kind of fun.

Seth Williams

R E W B C l u b rootclub.com same thing.

Seth Williams

But it's just another way to amplify the message that anybody can invest in real estate.

Seth Williams

And my main goal is to help 1 million people to invest.

Seth Williams

And so it's just.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

How about you?

Speaker A

Well, on the rube club thing, do you like have certain people or moderators, like, hey, you're going to be the person in charge of leading this club meeting or do you just kind of have them get together and whatever, who knows what happens?

Speaker A

Like, how do you organize that stuff?

Seth Williams

I have to, I have to trust them.

Seth Williams

Just like, you know, being a host, it's a little less of a barrier to get in, become a rubber bub host.

Seth Williams

But I have to trust them.

Seth Williams

I have to see the.

Speaker A

So you do have actual host.

Speaker A

Like, you have a person say, okay, you are responsible for leading this 100.

Seth Williams

The host does it.

Seth Williams

They are somewhat usually connected, either a coaching student or Canberra rootcon.

Seth Williams

And they see the value and the vision of it and they see that the hosting is more than just, let's say, getting a paycheck, which they don't get paid.

Seth Williams

But like, you know, it's not like a job.

Seth Williams

It's a benefit to hosting Roots Club because people are going to see you as a better investor.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

It's organized in a sense where we make sure people are networking.

Seth Williams

We bring speakers in, we make sure that we have hopefully some sponsors that are going to be good companies they could work with and connect them with each other.

Seth Williams

So, yeah.

Speaker A

What.

Speaker A

How many of these rube clubs are there?

Seth Williams

3.

Seth Williams

Yeah, we have Charlotte, Phoenix and Colorado.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker A

And the.

Speaker A

These leaders that you choose, are they from your audience that take it or like, is there.

Speaker A

Is it you hand pick them or something?

Speaker A

Or how do you decide who they.

Seth Williams

Would Be it's handpicked.

Seth Williams

We have some people that want to start one in la.

Seth Williams

Students of ours or audience members of ours.

Seth Williams

We'll eventually get there.

Seth Williams

But you know, we, we don't want to grow too fast and have in any group link.

Seth Williams

It's like there's expenses and there's logistics and we're still investors, you know, we're still investing our stuff.

Seth Williams

So we have just that many more things.

Seth Williams

We try to pray.

Seth Williams

Lord William would have most major cities as best as we can in like five years.

Seth Williams

That'd be great.

Seth Williams

There was a five year root club in most major cities.

Speaker A

Awesome, man.

Speaker A

It's a great idea.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

I'm just thinking through the.

Speaker A

What if it was a version of that for the land investing world?

Speaker A

Because I could see, I don't know if there's enough of us, but I know in like the bigger metro areas, like there probably is that kind of thing.

Speaker A

Even if it was just like eight or 10 people, like that's enough to get enough people together.

Seth Williams

How about you?

Seth Williams

Other than finding right people, do you have any.

Seth Williams

Do we want to lean into YouTube more?

Seth Williams

Because your podcast, you get a lot of people listening to that, like anything that you're planning.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

So I've been partnering early, exploring partnerships with a lot of new people, which is something I've never really have done that much of.

Speaker A

I've always been kind of gun shy about partnerships, but I've just, I've been realizing after finding the first great partner that I've ever worked with in the storage business and how well that's gone, it's opened my eyes to like, this is actually huge.

Speaker A

Like if you can find a good partner where they carry their weight and they truly make it better, like they're so good, you'd have a hard time doing another thing without them.

Speaker A

That's a major asset and it just enables you to do things that you would normally never be able to do by yourself.

Speaker A

So I know I've been exploring partnerships with that through different software companies and some things that are already established, like coming into an existing entity and others where we're like forming a new thing.

Speaker A

But that's probably been the biggest initiatives I've been working on and we'll continue to work on in this coming year, just seeing where those go.

Speaker A

I think most of them will pan out.

Speaker A

Not all of them probably will, but yeah, it's just been an exciting new new thing that I've been doing.

Seth Williams

That's so cool.

Seth Williams

And you're, you're seeing that you Are the limitation.

Seth Williams

Just like me every.

Seth Williams

But you're.

Seth Williams

There's always so much time in the day for you to do anything and if you could multiply yourselves then that'd be great.

Seth Williams

So.

Seth Williams

But it's getting the right people.

Seth Williams

One small little suggestion and like idea is in any partnership, just figure out what the exit strategy is beforehand.

Seth Williams

Like just in case, hey, everything's going great right now.

Seth Williams

We're unhappy.

Seth Williams

Let's decide how do we buy you out?

Seth Williams

How you buy me out when.

Speaker A

Yeah, that was actually.

Speaker A

I mean that exact issue has always been one of my biggest hang ups.

Speaker A

And we was able to figure it out really well with the self storage facility.

Speaker A

Um, but that's probably the biggest component of all these things is like basically planning the divorce before the wedding.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Speaker A

Like if things go sideways, if we just have a change of plans, you know, people change, whatever.

Speaker A

Like how do we get out of this thing with the least possible damage so that we're all okay and you know, there's some kind of trigger we can pull it to get out if we have to.

Seth Williams

Like, like with all my podcasts that we have seven podcasts now.

Seth Williams

If any one of the hosts say, man, I want to go on my own, like great, how can I help you?

Seth Williams

Let's, let's, let's.

Seth Williams

And because I already made that my mind, like that's my exit strategy is I'm just going to get again because it's like I make my money through real estate and this is just fun.

Seth Williams

And if they can help people, my goal is help a million people.

Seth Williams

Well, if I help them to then they be a part of that helping mail people.

Seth Williams

And it's.

Seth Williams

That's part of my vision.

Speaker A

Would you just like shift.

Speaker A

Shut those podcasts down then?

Seth Williams

I don't know.

Seth Williams

More than likely though, I would probably do the show, play repeats or yeah, just re.

Seth Williams

I would do that and then try to find another host that would want to host that show.

Seth Williams

It's still an asset.

Seth Williams

I own the podcast, but it's still an asset.

Seth Williams

But I'm gonna help them as much as possible, even on the show.

Seth Williams

Let them promote their new thing.

Seth Williams

I mean, absolutely.

Seth Williams

And I found even though like a scarcity mindset would say, oh man, don't do any of that stuff and I'll just keep everything yourself.

Seth Williams

I found I get such a better return is not the right word, but like I benefit more by giving more and then people that leave.

Seth Williams

Or it's like, man, that was so terrific.

Seth Williams

I want to stay.

Seth Williams

Not stay, but like I want to help.

Seth Williams

Like I'm not, you're.

Seth Williams

We're not competition.

Seth Williams

It's like I'm going to cross promote.

Seth Williams

I'm going to go back and give it back to you.

Seth Williams

It's like.

Seth Williams

And yeah, when you just start solely focused on yourself, honestly, it gets lonely and I don't like that obviously, like I said, extrovert.

Seth Williams

But at the same time, I don't want anybody to ever have, you know, look at me and say, man, that guy's a jerk.

Seth Williams

That's not what I want.

Seth Williams

Sweet.

Speaker A

Well, if people want to check out Dustin.

Speaker A

What masterpassiveincome.com Correct.

Speaker A

Or the orange podcast or podcast or just search real estate investing on Apple podcasts and you'll see Dustin show probably number one.

Seth Williams

Then also Instagram too.

Seth Williams

I actually like 35,000 and then it's just another touch point to connect with people.

Seth Williams

But the Dustin, the Dustin Heiner and no Seth, I'm not that arrogant being the only one.

Seth Williams

But it's the only handle I could.

Seth Williams

But yeah, so Adidas, Heiner on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok are the same thing.

Seth Williams

But yeah, it's just fun being able to connect with people on things like that.

Seth Williams

I hated social media until I really started understanding how powerful it is to connect with people.

Seth Williams

And I'm like, okay, so it's a, it can be a good thing.

Speaker A

It's interesting because I've got those things in my life too where it's like, I hate this, I hate that.

Speaker A

I want to think, I wonder if that's maybe an unhealthy way to look at it because you're just saying no, you're just shutting it down.

Speaker A

You're not exploring it any further.

Speaker A

Maybe with like most things it's like, I don't hate it.

Speaker A

There's just something I don't understand about it yet.

Seth Williams

Yes, good point.

Seth Williams

And then we got the re tipster.

Seth Williams

Everybody should be checking out YouTube channel.

Seth Williams

If you're not subscribed re tips or YouTube channel.

Seth Williams

They, they need to.

Seth Williams

It's so much great information.

Seth Williams

Oh and I love, love what seven or eight videos you did on the building of your self storage.

Seth Williams

I mean it's a documentary.

Seth Williams

You should shoot it.

Seth Williams

So it's a Netflix.

Speaker A

That was a ton of fun to make.

Speaker A

It was one of the things.

Speaker A

It wasn't the reason I did it, but it was maybe a small part of why I thought building one might be kind of fun is because I just knew there would be a ton of great stuff that I would learn.

Speaker A

A ton of stuff to just talk about.

Speaker A

And I was right.

Seth Williams

It was a great experience.

Seth Williams

And I love the idea that you're documenting what you're doing.

Seth Williams

You know, you're walking through process and I still remember you having the locks that didn't line up so you had to drill and all that stuff.

Speaker A

Yeah, it was another.

Speaker A

Yeah, it was funny.

Speaker A

I didn't even learn this until after the fact.

Speaker A

The reason that was happening was because we built the slabs on a 1% incline because the whole lot was slightly slanted.

Speaker A

You almost can't even see it with the naked eye, but there was a slight slant to it.

Speaker A

So those doors that would go down the, you know, the latch on one end would be like literally lower or higher than the latch and the part of the other ad.

Speaker A

So just tons of random stuff to learn.

Speaker A

Yeah, it was a lot of fun to make that.

Seth Williams

And oh, oh, before we go, because we.

Seth Williams

We were talking last night at our Airbnb with seven guys.

Seth Williams

Super fun.

Seth Williams

But the question came up like, if you need to make a million dollars right now or this year, what would you do?

Seth Williams

And you said, said, well, when you really boil it down, why start calling up self storage facilities all over the country and see which one would be so financing.

Seth Williams

Can you explain that?

Seth Williams

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker A

And you can actually do this with land too.

Speaker A

It might have worked faster, honestly, like if the goal was just to make a million, period.

Speaker A

The reason I said self storage is because that's sort of my ultimate destination, kind of where I want to go in in the end.

Speaker A

So yeah, I mean you basically just get a list of all the self storage to slow as much I can do get fairly easily in any part of the country and let me say.

Seth Williams

Easily service or yeah.

Speaker A

So Storetrack S T O R T R A C K is the service I use for this.

Speaker A

It's actually amazing.

Speaker A

They specialize in self storage and they can get you this information like way easier than if you're using Datatree or some other data service.

Speaker A

But so yeah, I would just get their numbers and start calling them and just saying, hey, you know, I see you have the storage facility.

Speaker A

You have any interest in selling or.

Seth Williams

Is it that straightforward?

Speaker A

I mean, it could be.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

And I'll be me storage facility owner.

Seth Williams

And I'm not expecting your call.

Seth Williams

I want to real quick.

Seth Williams

The reason why I want to do this is because when my students are looking for property managers, they say things that are newbie things that property manager that oh great, there's another newbie.

Seth Williams

They're not going to do anything.

Seth Williams

I'm not going to work with them, blah blah, blah.

Seth Williams

And so what I tell them is when you're looking for property managers, you don't sound like a newbie.

Seth Williams

You want to know what an investor sounds like?

Seth Williams

Well, I'm an investor.

Seth Williams

That's what I do.

Seth Williams

Hey, property manager.

Seth Williams

I'm an investor.

Seth Williams

I'm looking for a property manager to manage my properties in this area.

Seth Williams

Tell me about straight invalidate myself.

Seth Williams

I didn't put any classifications or whatever.

Seth Williams

I just put them in on the defense suit.

Seth Williams

But that's what an investor would do.

Seth Williams

But I never bought a search facility and they were done like direct calling.

Seth Williams

How could you do.

Seth Williams

Okay, let's.

Speaker A

Quick, quick disclaimer.

Speaker A

I've not actually done this.

Seth Williams

Well, you've done it for land investing.

Seth Williams

So it's.

Seth Williams

Yeah, that.

Speaker A

But I'm just saying, like I'm not saying this is the way to do it, it's just how I would do it.

Speaker A

Like.

Speaker A

And also this, this cold calling idea, it's very time consuming.

Speaker A

But the reason I'd be doing it is because somebody has a gun to my head saying I need to make a million bucks in the next year.

Seth Williams

So could you hire VA in the Philippines?

Seth Williams

Hello?

Speaker A

They wouldn't do as good of a job.

Speaker A

You could do that.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Seth Williams

Ring, ring, ring.

Seth Williams

Hello?

Speaker A

Hello.

Speaker A

Is this the owner of Hiner Self Storage?

Seth Williams

Yes, it is.

Seth Williams

Awesome.

Speaker A

Well, hey, my name is Seth.

Speaker A

I'm looking at acquiring some storage facilities in your area.

Speaker A

I'm an existing operator and I have one that I built.

Speaker A

It's been going really well.

Speaker A

I'm looking to expand.

Speaker A

I saw you have this property.

Speaker A

Can you tell me a little bit about it?

Speaker A

Like how long have you owned it?

Speaker A

When and why did you buy it?

Seth Williams

Yeah, yeah.

Seth Williams

So.

Seth Williams

So let's say I bought it eight years ago.

Seth Williams

And no, I'm not necessarily interested in selling but if the right deal comes along then I probably would.

Seth Williams

This is, you know, rants really well with 95 auction, Pied, whatever else.

Seth Williams

But yes, I mean if it's a good deal I might.

Speaker A

Sure.

Speaker A

I'm curious, like do you.

Speaker A

Are you very plugged into the local self storage world?

Speaker A

Like do you know other facility owners who might be interested in selling or.

Seth Williams

Oh, I know because we talk and you know, kind of randomly meet somebody because not.

Seth Williams

Not many people do storage facilities.

Seth Williams

Yeah, I know a couple people.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Well, you know, I'd be happy to get together sometime, talk more.

Speaker A

Just talk, shout about the storage facility business.

Speaker A

If you ever are interested in selling, like just know, I'm in the market right now.

Speaker A

I don't know if I will be a month from now.

Speaker A

But like right now I'm ready to go.

Speaker A

Happy to take a look at your thing, run some numbers.

Speaker A

I don't know how much you're willing to share with me in terms of your occupancy or how much revenue you're making, but that's part of what would go into my ability to formulate a good offer for you.

Speaker A

Yeah, I mean, if you're at all interested in seeing what I could do, I could send you an offer today if you want.

Speaker A

But even if not, if you want to just hang in my information, I could stay in touch with you and check in every now and then.

Speaker A

Would you be okay with that?

Seth Williams

Yeah, absolutely.

Seth Williams

You never know what's going to happen.

Speaker A

And whenever we would hang up, you know, if the answer was no, I don't want to sell.

Speaker A

And this happens all the time.

Speaker A

Just talk to somebody two weeks ago who they wanted way more than it was worth wasn't going to happen.

Speaker A

But at that point, the next step would be sending them a little handwritten letter every six months or so.

Speaker A

Something just to follow up.

Speaker A

Just kind of keep them in your mind or keep you in their mind so that when they finally have a reality check and realize it's not going to sell for the price they want, they remember you and call you first.

Seth Williams

That's awesome because that's something.

Seth Williams

As we were talking, question came to me.

Seth Williams

What would I do to make a million dollars in a year?

Seth Williams

My answer was, I have other investors with me that would want to invest in a larger commercial property, whatever apartment complex, storage facilities like commercial.

Seth Williams

And I have two particular people in mind that would be general partners with me on two separate deals.

Seth Williams

And man, I was like, I would love to be in Steph's self storage business.

Seth Williams

I just don't have a deal.

Seth Williams

We have the money, we have everything.

Seth Williams

We just need the deal.

Seth Williams

I thought, why am I not doing this?

Seth Williams

Obviously I have all my other businesses, but I'm like, if I can help other investors to invest money, my, you know, get a property for our family, why don't I do that?

Seth Williams

So that got me thinking, I need to do that.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

So I'm not making 100% commitment because with Rootcon, you know, the conference and everything, it's a lot of work, but it's on my radar.

Seth Williams

It's like I would love to get a storage.

Seth Williams

Self storage facility and even like my one, the person I told you about last Night.

Seth Williams

That would be a general partner.

Seth Williams

We were going to buy a place like 12 million cash.

Seth Williams

I was like, yeah, I don't know if we need financing for it.

Seth Williams

Just pay cash for it.

Seth Williams

I'm like, okay, that's awesome.

Seth Williams

Yes.

Seth Williams

Why don't I do that?

Seth Williams

That's the great thing about being in conference or being around people.

Seth Williams

We get ideas and we help each other and that's why everybody listening.

Seth Williams

You definitely need to be at the Real Silk Wall Builders conference.

Seth Williams

It's such a genuine community of people that want to help each other.

Seth Williams

And you get questions like that and you're like, man, really is like light bulb moments.

Seth Williams

And you get friends.

Seth Williams

Like we met at Fincom, another conference.

Seth Williams

I've met lots of people at conferences because in my immediate like circle of friends or people at my.

Seth Williams

Where I live, none of them invest in real estate.

Seth Williams

So you got to get around people that invest in real estate.

Seth Williams

That's what the conferences are.

Seth Williams

Or local meetups.

Seth Williams

Like you need to go to be around the people that you need to be.

Speaker A

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

I'm just going to throw in a quick plug here for the Storyland podcast, just because.

Speaker A

Has nothing to do with anything we've been talking about, but.

Speaker A

So if you have kids age 4 through 12, maybe even older, have them check out the Storyland podcast.

Speaker A

It's this podcast I started making for my kids years ago.

Speaker A

Started adding music and sound effects to it.

Speaker A

I made a few episodes with Dustin's kids as the main characters and it's a ton of fun.

Speaker A

And I'm quite sure your kids or the kids you know, are gonna love it.

Speaker A

If they don't love it, then just don't tell me.

Speaker A

But if they do love it, let me know.

Dustin Heiner

Yeah.

Seth Williams

Seth Williams

Storyland podcast.

Speaker A

Yeah, Storyland podcast.

Seth Williams

I think it's the case.

Seth Williams

But then you'll, you'll see when the new episodes drops.

Seth Williams

But my kids absolutely love.

Seth Williams

Like my oldest is 16 and she's still, she's a little.

Seth Williams

Getting almost to where she was like, okay, I'll just listen.

Seth Williams

But definitely like the 15, 13, 11 year old, they're just, they eat it up.

Seth Williams

New episodes.

Seth Williams

And there was a time you were putting out for a little bit, like a month or two.

Seth Williams

You might been busy.

Seth Williams

My kids.

Seth Williams

Call your friend, tell.

Seth Williams

I'm sure he's gonna work on it.

Speaker A

Yeah, man.

Speaker A

That's the trouble with all this stuff, like finding time to look for storage facilities and land and find a time to do stories.

Speaker A

It's like all this stuff takes Time.

Speaker A

And there's only so much time I have a week to do it all.

Speaker A

But I guess that's the time discipline thing, you know.

Seth Williams

Well, that and getting other people around.

Seth Williams

Other people around.

Seth Williams

That too.

Seth Williams

Help lift the load.

Seth Williams

Yeah.

Seth Williams

And like one quick last thing was getting people around you.

Seth Williams

Whenever I've hired anybody to send, you know, put.

Seth Williams

Indeed.

Seth Williams

Or you know, found somebody at Craigslist, they're never a good fit because they just want a job.

Seth Williams

Which is fine.

Seth Williams

Which is fine.

Seth Williams

But if you have a community like you do, I guarantee you, you say, hey, I'm looking for somebody does marketing.

Seth Williams

Here's a form to fill out, you know, if you're interested.

Seth Williams

I guarantee you're getting a lot of people.

Seth Williams

Like some.

Seth Williams

If you even say, I need somebody help editing, you're going to find lots and lots of people.

Seth Williams

So we're blessed to have a good community of people around us.

Seth Williams

That that's an untapped market of help for us.

Speaker A

Yeah, it's a great idea, man.

Speaker A

I, I kind of knew that, but for some reason, like I haven't always done that in the past.

Speaker A

It's like that should easily be the starting point every time.

Speaker A

So it's a good, good reminder.

Seth Williams

In the intro of the podcast, I'm asked to tell everybody we almost stopped like four times.

Seth Williams

So just keep listening because they return.

Seth Williams

I kept on forever.

Seth Williams

Just keep going and going it.

Seth Williams

Listen, it's been great chat with you and great hanging out with you again at a conference and event.

Seth Williams

Staying in the same, same area and having a great time.

Speaker A

Yeah, man, I had a great time.

Speaker A

Thanks for letting me be part of it.

Speaker A
