Welcome to Episode 115 of my podcast interview from the crow's nest. It is Monday the 28th of September 2020 and I hope you are doing fantastically well. So, the continuation. We are in packing mode, because there might be a second lock down in this region of Italy compania, it might be starting this week, and we were planning to move to the Calabria region of Italy to place called Castro victory. And we are bringing forward our plans. Only by a few weeks but we kind of galvanised into action because we don't want to get caught by a lockdown and not be able to move for another bunch of months, again, because that's what kept us in this gear these past six months anyway. So, then there's that kind of realisation that packing is a ball ache, and we. This time around, we're kind of bring in everything, and we're even shipping everything from the UK that we have in storage and turning Caterpillar into a bit more of a permanent base, because we feel that we really need an environment for us, and the kids which is basically home. So, what that means is more, you know, that'd be lovely but it also means more effort and more hassle because you're going to organise everything and more cost as well, which is not an ideal time for it so just also realise we've got the car insurance pay next month, along with transportation of our stuff from the UK so that'll be together that'll be about two grand, which we do not have. So not quite sure how that's gonna work out but that's the fun of the fair. So yeah so packing mode, and just getting stuff kind of stuff ready mode. So, yeah, the, the, the irony of course is that while you're spending time and money getting all that sorted. One is not spending time or money trying to bring in more money so audience ninja. You know the guys are doing the tasks of the day that are there, but I'm not necessarily doing a particularly good job of trying to find or get more business because I don't have the time to do it yet. Well schooling hub which is another potential revenue stream, that's still going to be in hibernation for another few weeks so we can move forward on that and get this out the way So, and other things and my own art. I've continued to make some little changes to my social media accounts which you probably haven't seen because there's only four or five of you that are listening to this. So, probably haven't seen it, but I am. As of yesterday simplifying everything I'm really trying to simplify stuff. If I can't hold the. The reason and the plan and the marketing and all of that in my, in a very quick kind of couple of sentences and it's too complex. So I'm trying to simplify stuff so for, for example, my photography is gonna go on my Instagram channel. There you go. Instagram is for photography. And not only that, but at the moment I think I've left about nine or 12 photos on my Instagram. And what I'll do is, I'll put up a new photo to a shedule, I don't know the schedule yet but it will maybe be every two weeks. Something like that. Maybe one a week. And then, which ever is the least you know the least performing photo of them are remove that and keep the other one so there's always kind of only about 12 in there. I don't know if I definitely do that but I like the idea of keeping it quite simple, and then having on my website a portfolio which has golden images I've done. And in also one of my kind of new focuses again this is stuff that I've known for time I've talked about before but I haven't done is, unless there's a basically a campaign reason for doing something or you know product reason, then don't do it but if there is then get it to be a product as soon as possible. So what I mean by that is, I'm not just gonna put photos up for the sake of having pretty photos or put photos up that you can buy as prints or as canvases or what have you, whether or not I start selling them I don't know. But the point is that they need, you know, there needs to be a reason for it because I just
