@knightofdelta To build on this thread, herss what I have learnt.

First off, everything Oga Knight says here is true.

The most valuable thing you have in this world is your time. You can't make more of it. And one big roadblock to personal & business success is not knowing how to manage time.

@knightofdelta If you dont know how to do this, you will be frustrated every day of your life.

And the problem actually starts with you. It's not your fault you have this problem. We were taught growing up to save money and spend it only when absolutely necessary. Because of this, we try to...

hog and do everything by ourselves. You are the accountant, the bookkeeper, the graphic artist, the marketer, the everything in your business. You forget you are one person, and you cant do it all by yourself. You have unique strengths, and horrible in other areas, but you try...

to get good in those areas you're bad at, and you spend the precious little time you have left doing this and end up worsening the situation.

I had an epiphany a few years ago. Nothing ground breaking. Just that it dawned on me that I couldn't run a digital agency properly if...

I was the M.D, the marketer, the office manager, the content creator, graphic artiste and everything in between. I realised we were not growing because we were busy doing things we shouldn't be. Funny how tryigg to save money ends up costing you even more money.

That day, I...

stopped. We created departments and started hiring capable people to do especially the things I didn't wand to do.

Then I looked inwards a in my personal life. I moved to Lekki and made sure my home was less than 10 minutes to work. I stopped doing the laundry myself. I stopped

going to the barbershop and have them come to me instead. I stopped going to the market. I'd send someone or pay someone to do it. I would have hired a cook, but I love doing it as I find it therapeutic. For the first time in years, I started sleeping well. Because finally...

I stopped worrying about the things I used to worry about. I was doing lesser. I was doing the things I liked doing even better. And I had the time to enjoy doing them.

Nothing beats having a system of procedure for doing your work. Nothing beats putting a value to your time and

determining what it deserves to be spent on and what doesn't.

Your quality of life will be better. Your business will grow faster. Your employees will get better. Your clients will be better taken care of.

And don't say "Oh it requires money." It's not about that. Its about you
