Welcome to Episode 92 of my podcasts The view from the crow's nest. It is Saturday fifth of September 2020. And it was meant to be a day off and I failed entirely. I had like what I thought was gonna be about a half hour maybe an hours of work to do this morning for a client and then I got a call from said client and we were on the phone off and on throughout the day for over five hours. And I was doing quite a lot of work for them. And I'm absolutely drained frankly. And the couple of bits I wanted to do for myself I didn't really do I think guy over the family I didn't have any sort of that time off. feel really tired to be fairly full the seats about half to this morning and then woke up five hours later or whatever. So feeling pretty tired anyway, similar kids went out to the beach. I didn't and I don't feel bad about it. I just feel drained. wasn't in the mood to do my daily noodle video but I do think eight in a row I can feel it's gonna be quite easy to do those like it's quiet you know the podcast is easy I just stopped talking as you can pretty much tell the widows I kind of have to work out what I'm going to play or at least have an idea of it though today so basically they usually take about 15 to 20 minutes and I guess the podcast does as well on some occasions, but I want to get myself with the daily noodle into a position where I don't feel so egotistical about how it sounds kind of thing like it's like do it get it done. Get out there now. Maybe people watch it maybe they don't watch it. But it starts charting for myself my progress if there is any on the guitar but also it kind of forces me to play each day which is kind of the main point of it. Outside of that measured my waist this morning, first time down to about As one second got Yeah, I've got down to basically 80 centimetres, which is definitely the lowest I've been since I started measure myself quite a number years ago. So my body is changing, it's getting into better shape. So that's positive, definitely positive. The call with the client this afternoon, you know, we helped reform pivot their business a bit towards solid, which I think is more long term commercially viable, and it gives us a more solid plan. So that's positive, because now there's actually things that we can really do. So that was good. Unfortunately, I had to part ways with one of the audience, Ninja team members today. I've given them a bit of a warnings probably, well, maybe it's the right word, maybe the wrong word. But basically I'd said that I wasn't happy with how things were at the beginning of last week and they had a way Kind of improve them dominate It was about communication. You know, they just seem to disappear for days on end. And they said, Yeah, now, you know, be back on. And then they weren't. And then today they send a message got I'm really surprised that you've done this because I was doing this stuff and you know, I was tired last night. That's why they messaged you. And so it's all of this stuff might be true. But it's a reminder to anybody who may be listening any point that communication is the number one obstacle problem and key to any relationship, whether that's your business relationship or your relationship with your boss, with a partner or work with your spouse or your partner with your kids. Talking about it, letting the other person know what's going on, is probably one of the biggest source sources of problems that most people have. You know, they either assume that the other person And knows, which you know, never assume because the other person probably doesn't know. No, they think, you know, it's obvious, therefore don't need say it. Or they, you know, they just don't update people they don't, you know, let people know what they're thinking or what they're feeling. And in business, I mean, you can't rely on somebody who you give a task to, and you don't know whether they're doing or not, you don't know whether they're coming back. So I would urge a
