@Dave Denniston On a broad scale, land investors typically see an average return of around 10%. Is that accurate for those who generate millions in revenue?

Gross profit is very different from net. One bad deal can wipe out profits from 5 good ones. Sitting 900 days in a title dispute now. A second will appeared after we closed.

too much time fighting fires!
Everyone has that deal… what’s yours?
What’s one land deal that changed the way you think about business or life? Not the biggest profit. Not the cleanest flip. But the deal that taught you something you didn’t expect---about people, patience, risk, or yourself. Sometimes one property… one seller conversation… or one mistake… can completely shift how you operate. Curious to hear your story.

I was going to take the negative side! How about the "partner" who went 0 for 9 on deals? Our batting average has gone down with continuing growth of new players. Oh, and small dollar deals take as much if not more time than bigger ones. The Minneapolis UnConference showed I was in a room where I could bring value besides money. I wonder how some of the newer funders are doing?
What Leadership Really Is
You can own a business, run a team, and still not be leading. And you can have zero employees… and already be practicing real leadership. Most people misunderstand what leadership actually is. They think leadership is: • Being the smartest person in the room • Having the final say • Always knowing the answer • Telling people what to do That’s not leadership. That’s control. Real leadership looks different. Leadership is taking responsibility when things go wrong. Leadership is making decisions when things are unclear. Leadership is helping other people grow even when it slows you down. In the land business, this shift happens quietly. At first you're just trying to survive. Finding deals. Talking to sellers. Closing buyers. Doing everything yourself. Then something changes. You start asking a different question: “How do I build something bigger than just me?” That’s when leadership really begins. Not when you get a title. Not when you hire your first VA. But when you take ownership of the direction of your business and the people around you. And the truth is… Most of us are still learning it every day. Quick question: What’s something about leadership you didn’t understand when you first started your business?

It's become clear that my "leadership " is more like force of personality. Face to face I can bring out the best in people. IF they want to. Some folks are content where they are. Team is scattered all over and that causes gaps I haven't solved yet. Everybody is doing their best but there are gaps that can go undiscovered.
