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.

David’s entrepreneurial journey began in his early twenties when he sold Australia’s most beloved sporting venue, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since then, his business experience has spanned from franchising retail clothing stores to founding one of Australia’s most trusted digital agencies, Melbourne SEO Services.

In 2016, he successfully systemized himself out of that business, hired a CEO and stepped back from the daily operations. Through this process, he became a systems devotee, founding SYSTEMology.

Today, his mission is to free all business owners worldwide from the daily operations of running their business. To achieve this, Jenyns spends most of his time supporting the growing community of certified SYSTEMologists as they help business owners implement SYSTEMology. He also delivers workshops, keynote addresses and hosts his own popular podcast, Business Processes Simplified.

Episode notes:

Mark and Dave discuss all things book and process-related, including:

• Why he wrote his book, SYSTEMology
• Where to start with systemizing
• What he means when he says “first we define and then we assign”
• Why is creating systems a two-person job?
• Building a systems-driven culture
• The most common problems entrepreneurs face when scaling
• How Dave sees processes changing with AI

Mark and Dave also cover auditing a hodgepodge tech deck as you grow.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Dave: I'm going to suggest the original which is “The E-Myth” by Michael E Gerber. It just builds up the “why” so well. It helps you to understand why systems and processes are so important and potentially what’s possible for you. It’s a great read.

It’s hard to answer the question about what we are automating in the business. However, one thing that I think is standard to automate is leads. I found a blog post about how to use Zaps (automated with Zapier) for email or Slack for your teams.

Mark and Scott:

There is a Zapier alternative. It’s called Pabbly Connect. You can pay for lifetime access. You can Google “Lifetime access for Pabbly.” It’s a bargain.

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why quick land flips may be the right path when you're just starting out or trying to pay off debt fast.
• How Mike paid off $40K in debt within a year through wholesale deals.
• The downsides of relying too heavily on fast cash—and how it can become addictive.
• The benefits of passive income through owner financing and how it builds long-term wealth.
• Why a healthy land business should balance both strategies based on deal flow and goals.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Scott: There’s no one-size-fits-all. Some seasons call for cash, others for cashflow. What matters is having a clear goal and adjusting your strategy to match where you are.

Mike: Quick flips helped me knock out $40K in debt fast. But over time, I realized I wasn’t building lasting income. Fast cash is great—but don’t forget to build something that pays you long-term.

I’m going to give a straightforward answer. If you’re a business owner and not on LinkedIn, you’re really missing out. I stay extremely active to grow my business. I’ve grown a large network of other CEOs and Founders of startups and have learned a ton from sparking conversations. I’ve also hired amazing people from Linkedin. I go through my feed for 20-30minutes per day and get so many tips and tricks that I feel like I’ve gotten an MBA from just scrolling my LinkedIn feed. It’s not just for large corporations. There is so much free value on it. I’ve seen a crazy amount of growth from using it!
