Welcome to Episode 53 of my podcast, have you from the crow's nest and. First things first, I have a feeling quite a bit better. I'm nearly back to normal, my throat still hurts a bit but it's not too bad. And today, was a bit more. I was kind of half focused half not focused. The second day of having the agency audience ninja is the second day of having somebody working on the team full time Dan, and his first or second day of applying and all work is all well and good but certainly there's this learning curve which is proving to be frustrating for me from the point of view of, you know, I know I need to build things ways of working, foundations, etc. for the business. And so I'm ending up working longer. Despite the fact that I've got help that I would have worked if I didn't have help. And I know that that's part of the process. And also, now that we've got a client and I intend to that we do a good job for the client. But I kind of feel like I sort of lost a bit of my focus in what the bigger picture, you know, the grip the sky experience, and my writing, and the things that I want to get back to more music, and more writing fiction writing screenplay writing. And the idea of audience ninja is it becomes a self sustaining entity that when the team is in place and the clients are in place, it kind of runs itself with less of my input, but of course to get to that stage on has to put in the work. And so, I feel like I'm being quite reactive at the moment, which is understandable, like for example, whenever I'm doing a new task, or I'm doing something which ideally I'd like Dan or somebody else who might join the team in the future today. I'm, or even the client might do themselves in the future. I'm doing an explainer video so you know walk through so some of these videos are 20 minutes long some 10 minutes long whatnot. The irony being. If I did the task myself without doing the explainer video. I would do it in about five minutes. And I'm doing a half hour explainer video to show someone else how to do the task, and then letting them do that task, even though I could have done it myself in five minutes. But of course that's you know that's that's the whole kind of point of bringing a team on is that you empower them and delegate stuff to them and then they can run with it. So if I don't do this now, then all I'll be doing is doing the task myself and there's no point in having help, but it does mean it feels slower at the beginning. But nonetheless, but now building up this little video library for audience ninja and every day. I mean, two days in but every day it's kind of like iterating something or improving something in the systems that we're using in the way that we're doing stuff so that's cool, because, you know, now that I'm thinking about it on this, we're making progress you know we are building something every day it's getting a little bit better a little bit better, and improving excuse me a second I told you the throat wasn't fully better. And so yeah that's been my, that's been my focus really, I mean nothing much. Nothing much else had got back to training today with abdol personal trainer, and it was it evening or an afternoon session 540, as opposed to 830 in the morning, which I had been doing, and two things one, I definitely prefer 830 in the morning I never thought I'd say that but it's good to get up, get it done. Get out of the way and, you know, kind of give the energy for the day and then get on with the day knowing that I've got it at the end of the day is a bit, kind of like coming by the door I want to be able to relax at this time, or, I've got to start working because I've got training and so I'm not looking at it. I wasn't looking at it earlier with the right kind of frame of mind. However, as soon as I went in even before we started and I got there, the yoga man the fan and stuff. I had a for me quite a strange thing that I was really excited I was really happy to be training, and I realised
