The View From The Crow's Nest | EP48

Welcome to Episode 48 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest, and it's going to be a pretty short one tonight because I got a sore throat. And it kind of hurts to speak, which for me is pretty challenging thing to be able to speak too much and bang on. I think I've been wearing myself down a bit. And it's ironic so I don't really feel like I've been working that much this week but I've been going to bed too late certainly and I wouldn't say I'm stressed, but I would say that I've sort of got a lot of new variables to contend with. With audience ninja the new agency the new clients coming on board and grip the sky experience and do a few other things is quite an important. I think moment in my current timeline. So I think there's a lot to going on so the combination of not sleeping. And these extra things and where I usually my weakness comes, especially when I don't sleep in the form of mouth ulcers, particularly, and sore throat and stuff that's like my Achilles heel or Achilles throat. So I think that's where I'm at today. And this week, I've been. We experimented with the personal trainer where instead of one of us going one day and the other guy the other day, someone and I both did back to back on Tuesday and back to back again today. And it just takes too much in the morning by the time we finished by the time we're showered and Barlow is basically lunchtime. So there's like hey let's do lunch and then by the time we finish. So I have not been starting work until kind of mid afternoon and by that point I'm really not in the mood to work, combined with the tiredness and whatnot. So, I've done important work. This week, we've hired two people to join the team for audience ninja our first proper. onboarding hopefully to clients for its ninja. You know, trying to get money for an old client who hasn't paid up. So my first experience of the county court system in the UK for people not paying their debts and chasing up some payment, which was always going to come but needed to be waited until the pumps were back open in the UK for work that we did back in March. So, I've done important stuff even if it hasn't been quote unquote busy a lot of work but nonetheless. I don't feel like I've made. I mean I made you know there's there's good stuff in is doing. But um, you know I have worked on grip the sky experience particularly haven't done this or that or the other. So, I still feel like I'm not really worth that much this week. Tomorrow is a family day out so I'm not gonna work tomorrow maybe that's exactly what we need an actual day out, where I'm going to switch off from work and then on Saturday, have to supply what will hopefully be the final kind of proposal for these for these Americans this new client. The first client for audience ninja four bits of work that we're going to be doing for them, four separate kind of bits of work and I want to be very transparent and very clear so there's no misunderstandings. Before we start working together and manage expectations and all those things, so that we can be free to simply get on with delivering, you know, delivering the work and the client, getting the benefit from it. So that's going to be a big task on Saturday the first kind of one and hopefully I'll find somewhere blueprinting or templating it for future use. But it's gonna be new for me doing it like that and then you system and putting it all together so that's gonna be cool. But yeah, I think just needs some rest so I'm currently making the bed because earlier today we discovered something was leaking leaking milk chocolate smoothie or whatever the seven made for the kids was leaking all over our bed. So, wash the sheets. This is such an interesting podcast, isn't it, and now put it on, while I'm talking to you or me or whoever's listening to this. And that's all I've got for you really, other than personal training session this morning, we sort of upped the ante a little bit and he said it was a bit more towards c
