0:00.0	Yo, yo, Omar Alticori here, and we're going to jump into this conversation that I know will bless you, but I wanted to personally invite you to Las Vegas for the 100th live recording of the department.
0:14.3	We are celebrating two years of an incredible run, and we have no plans on stopping stopping but we do want to celebrate this huge
0:23.6	milestone with you and so this is a live event in Las Vegas at the video department headquarters
0:29.1	and would love for you to be in the room all the information's in the show notes in the
0:33.2	description and it's going to be an awesome time we're going going to have some coffee. We're going to do a live
0:39.3	podcast, doing Q&A, inviting some guests, and then ultimately hanging out and we're going to feed you.
0:45.7	And it's going to be an awesome time. It's going to be on a Saturday in November. But want to see you there,
0:50.3	want to shake your hand, want to say thank you for being a part of the department fam. And so,
0:56.1	uh, yeah, let's get into the episode.

Nowadays, when you see people online there's just so much more input telling you all the other things you should be doing, all the new marketing strategies. It's depressing. Simple sales and simple scales. Businesses tend to start out simple and then they get complex. What is the 20% of the things I do that actually generate 80% of the results I need? You could literally stop doing four-fithths of what you're doing and get almost the same result than 2x what you're doing
1:47.4	and half the time.
1:48.1	When did you feel like it was time to like,
1:49.9	I need to hire my first help?

2:00.0	Yeah, man.
