Joining Mark are the skeleton crew of: 

• Teria Harris
• Tate Litchfield

Some things they consider:

• How to think about tools
• When to implement them
• How to overcome “shiny object syndrome”

Then, the team jumps right in to share their favorite TOOL of the week.

Teria:

My favorite tool is Slack. I can keep my finger on pulse of the business with Slack. I can watch my team communicate in Slack.

Tate: The tool we use the most is LG Pass. It’s a Land Geek tool, but I helped develop it. That’s why I’m in it all the time. I’m in it right now. Other tools I really like are Zapier and Geekpay.io. Who doesn’t like getting paid? Geelpay solves that problem.

Mark:

My tool is a shinier object. I just saw it and got all excited about it. It is Scribe AI. It automatically creates user guides and SOPs for any business process.  I haven’t tried it to know that it works and don’t get this if you don’t have a problem with documentation.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Michaela:

I have another GPT tip. It’s Auto GPT. It uses GPT 3.5 and 4. It will run scripts and tasks for you. You don’t have to prompt it each time. I think it’s better than GPT. I’m using it for Marketing Research, but it can do a lot of other things. You can use it to order pizza.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Kirk:

It’s a book that I received going into the coaching program. It’s called the Twelve Week Year by Brian Moran. It makes the point that you can be well connected, well educated and full of natural talent, but in the end you have to execute. It takes consistent action to turn your dream into reality. That was a real kick in the pants for me.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Roberto:

This book has been mentioned before, but there’s never a time to not mention it, Who Not How.  It talks about how you can implement this book into your land business to scale and become the CEO of your business and not be working in it. I love this book and have read it a couple of times. It’s a great read for anyone looking to grow their business.

Mark:

My Tip of the Week is also a book by the same authors. It’s 10x is Easier Than 2x. “It’s the same mindset of who should be doing this task…?”
