Welcome to Episode 111 of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. It is Thursday, 24th of September 2020 and following on from yesterday's kind of pulling myself out of the doldrums by taking action. That's exactly what I did again today. And I've said it before on the podcast and I had to remind myself of what I'd said before yesterday that when one is feeling overwhelmed or apathetic to things or depressed or whatnot, then it's action is the way out. I really truly believe that. And those actions might start small and might be as simple as you know making a bed tied in the room cleaning the house whatever but it's. We're, we're creatures of movement, as humans, we're creatures of action. And, you know, particularly a few be overwhelmed with work situations and that's it that's the only way out really providing Of course, you've done your, your thinking and you're picking the right actions well that's a whole, you know that's a whole nother podcast topic or conversation you know how do you know you're picking the right actions, and that is not what's on my mind today what's on my mind today is that, yeah, I'm at least now as the last couple of days. I'm very much re reignited re with the flex of moving all projects forward, rapidly, and to follow on from somewhere was a few weeks ago, to not let kind of excuses or, you know, waiting for the perfect time getting in the way as I often say Do what you can with what you have right now. You know, I know what I should be doing so do it, simples. So to that end, dishing out tasks to the team the audience ninja team and really getting them moving things forward we're looking at marketing plan and putting together materials that we need to bring in new clients for audience Ninja, the agency, starting to make inroads towards worldschooling hub, what we need for that is going over the, the main website that I've built and making sure it works but also inserting our payment gateway, so that when I built originally it was free. With the potential that we could add payment charges and subscriptions. However, with the relaunch we want to charge straightaway, one because it's going to cost us to maintain it. So actually we do need to bring in revenue, and two because that will enable us to bring onboard some kind of ID verification service which gives a bit more security, given that it's a platform for families with children, that's probably a good thing and that's something I think most people will be quite happy to pay towards. So, and three because we need to bring in revenue, as simple as. So, going to start moving that forward now so that feels good, because that's another potential revenue stream it's also a project we're really passionate about that we want to work because we want to find other world schooling and homeschooling families to meet with. So there's a very much scratch your own itch need to that. I started yesterday advertising, the grip the sky experience. And I know that I haven't set up the ads properly, ironically, given that I've got a digital marketing agency, because I rushed them I just like right, I'm going to start yesterday. Bosch, let's just start doing stuff let's get some data let's know that it's the wrong data and let's, you know, iterate and iterate quickly. So, in the next couple of days I record a few videos which I'll be using for ads for it. And then hopefully, how we'll be able to not just actually get results which would be great, but also be able to prove my methodology which is exactly the methodology that I want to use for audience ninja Thus, I have my own case study I can say look, this is what most people do where their ads, what I did yesterday and it doesn't work. Here's what I would recommend and you can see the change here in the graph and blah blah so that's the plan. And then my calendar. Again, we've got the audience ninja team to start looking into some things my calendar my 2021 calendar, which, you know, I'm going to move towards t
