    That is great! Nice going! What is the reason in the long run to be more healthy?

    Here is what you do; during those 2 days a week when you our placed at a job, you figure out what brings value to the people there and you pour it on. You will work hard and clever and you will make no excuses.

    That is the kind of thing people see, so go add value and you become valuable. People care little for the CV's if they see how you work if you do that.

    I have been thinking about this comment and I want to thank you for it. It was such a good question and one that I will continue to ask myself going forward.

    This is great.

    In smaller breaks from running for me I feel like coming back to it isn't as hard as the first time around because I KNOW my body could run that 10K. Just that mental barrier being gone seemed to speed the process up for me, do you find anything similar in your case?

    Those one or two motivational half-marathons are a pretty serious thing in my book. What kind of distances have you been running before and strive for now?

    What I Really want to know is how have you changed from getting back into the running and down in weight?

    You are so aware of the situation, that will certainly help you in the long run. Most people seem to get totally lost in the Founder's syndrome and micro manage everything and everyone to death. I am happy you are keeping an eye on that.

    A way of thinking about it as I see it;
    If you hired someone that you know better than, then you hired the wrong person.

    Hire someone that is GOOD at what they do, tell them what you want to get done and get out of their way. That I think is the trick to get them to grow. Don't tell them how to get to the goal, just what the goal is.

    If you hire someone that you want to micro manage it isn't much about them it is about you not wanting to let go of the control. But in reality you have control, you chose to hire them, so trusting them is really trusting yourself.

    Of course, there must be certain things laid out like what kind of budget can they work with and so on and this is probably further down the line but might be worth thinking about as a thing to start doing.

    I can imagine so, especially as you were a bit burned out when you started hiring and then hiring and becoming a boss are new things you probably didn't know how to do, which makes for even More work.

    You are moving towards a better place so keep going! Let the hires be an investment in Time, because whet you place in them now will free you up in the long run.

    Neither of these. I am just a guy that might be able to help you see something in a new way.

    The problem I find is that my own blind spots are the major blocks for me. So an honest talk and just getting the community to shoot ideas can open up a lot of mental doors.

    To get new ideas in means that you can produce new ideas out so that is really the goal here.

    Absolutely. Let me know if you want the audiobook and I'll send it to you. I hope you find some clarity on How to build a team that you trust and that trust you.

    Way to go growing your work to hire others!
    I can understand that it is a struggle. New grounds I presume?

    I just read the book Turn The Ship Around! by L. David Marquet and I would very much recommend reading that.

    I would also suggest reading Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek as it will show you how we are wired biologically. (The last one I can send you as an Audiobook if you'd like?)

    What is it you struggle with more specifically?

    • Edit

    I just realized that I linked the book covers just like I do on reddit, so that code holds true here too it seems. Good stuff!

    There is a community around gold that kind of became my home on reddit, I don't see much of what people see of reddit there. The vibe is always friendly and helpful. Those few times I venture out in the "wilderness" of reddit that seems to get lost. People are frustrated and afraid and that shows up there I guess.

    I think people need to see what they like and don't like and take steps to remove the bad and enhance the good. That how reddit is wonderful.

    I am excited to see what this place turns into. It is a nice vibe here for sure.

    Thank you for supporting the free software!

    That you for giving back and making the community even stronger. No telling in how much you will help others go further than they ever though they could.

    That sounds great! There is enough pain in the dysphoria and all the changes so having that support and a place where you get help is wonderful.
