Welcome to Episode 57 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest, once again have spent the entire day really working like crazy trying to get on top of things yesterday I was feeling particularly overwhelmed and frustrated. And you're just too much to do too many ideas trying to get yeah just I've got a team on board but I'm not using them, didn't have the time to use them, etc. So today I've really been trying to get back on top of that. And, you know, I've started to throw some tasks over yet, up until today I was very protective but I didn't want to overburden the team with stuff that maybe was a bit too complicated at first and blah blah and today I just thought sod it deep end. So, I was just throwing things over that slide right, this is the problem. I don't know how to sort it so you sorted, whereas previously I've been doing a lot of explainer videos saying this is how I do it so please can you now do it, use this tool like this, etc. But now I'm really going to see how, you know, how they follow up with this kind of stuff. When they really have to work it out themselves. So basically, not being so micromanaging, I guess is the term. I also had a reminder today, something which I really should have already learned. I spent about four hours yesterday trying to configure a tool I'd bought to do a certain job, knowing that I had another tool that my licence had run out, that if I renewed that licence, it would do the job straight away, really easily. So I pay for this other tool, I tried to get it to work. I couldn't. This morning I spent another hour or two trying to get it to work speaking with the developer. And then I kind of got it to work but realised it was still complicated and it still wasn't quite right. So I just thought sod it. So I paid my money for another year's licence to the other tool, and within about 10 minutes I've done all of that literally the entire law that took me six hours to not quite finish. And it was a reminder that, you know, when there is a easy way to do something, it's worth paying the money to get it done. Because time is the most valuable resource in the world, it's the one that you will never be able to accumulate or get back. So you want to protect it jealously jealously that one. So it's a reminder to myself that yeah it is both one delegate out to other people, which is the whole point of audience ninja in the first place was bringing people on board to help with, you know, scale these ideas that we have. So delegate out to people, and thus protect your own time. And also if there's a way to save time for cost a bit more money, then do it, even if, you know, I felt like I've made a mistake of spending, you know, hundred and 30 hundred and $40 or whatever it was on this first tool and it's not quite working but I want to make it work. Otherwise, I've got to spend another hundred dollars on the other tool. And the truth is, it wasn't worth what five or six hours that I wasted you know that hundred dollars for the second tool. Fine, take it on the chin you spent it on the first tool I'll probably make use of it somewhere else, somehow else, but for now I know there's an easy solution so just bite the bullet spend the money, get it done, move on. And so, That must be the focus, you know, the watchword folks, God, but good news. The American client has started. Officially, as a client because they made their first payment. So, that was brilliant and really needed right now, because at least pay for the two tools that I bought yesterday today. With nothing else. So that was really positive, we've got our second client on board, that's really, really cool. And that's it, that's my day you know I've spent nigh on 10 hours or 12 hours without a break, SAT, you know just focusing trying to get through stuff I'm done it's 8pm earlier than usual because I want to have a bit of an evening. Tomorrow morning, I got to get up and we got training tomorrow so personal trainer so that's gonna be co
