Darryl: Hi and welcome to “The My Blood Website” podcast where we talk about all things online especially for small and medium business owners and marketers. I'm Darryl King. I've been running my web agency for 25 plus years, my co-hosts Ed Pelgen has been running his online marketing agency for just as long. Our goals; to cover things in a way anyone can understand and can improve how they use online in their business. We're about to do Episode 34, it is the 5th of July 2018 and this topic is - Do You Respect the Effort it Takes. How you going Ed?

Edmund: I'm going great Darryl. How about yourself mate?

Darryl: ok, excellent; so to our US listeners. Yesterday was Independence Day - 4th of July. Happy Independence Day. Like to keep in theme a little bit. You know, when countries go through things like revolutions and independence and all these sorts of things. There's a hell of a lot of effort from a whole hell of a lot of people like is involved to turn events around and that leads to our topic of you know; how much if it does it take to do something well, how much if it does it take to get success and that's kind of where we want to go today. I think.

Edmund: So Yeah, I mean; where did this start for you? Why is this topic so close to heart today?

Darryl: well, a lot of times when doing project scoping it could be for a website, it could be for software anyone that works a requirement side of the business you know, business analysis. I often meet stakeholders that need something snappy. I want to next week, we've got a deadline, we've got this and there's a real lack of respect for the effort that goes into getting something done right and once people go through that process; I think, they get a bit of appreciation and it's not exclusive to software development or website development or anything else. I think you'd see it in you know SEO campaigns and everything else but there's a; there's two sides that one engaging people to do it with you but the other part is if you're gonna do it yourself like and ultimately everyone's responsible for their business. so then that's where it's coming from me it's that; I'm seeing a lot where people kind of go; ah I didn't think it would take so long or really it'll take that long or they just stop; so they start with good intentions they just never I let's just get on with it; we'll do it as we're building Ed; all things like that;

Edmund: Hmmm

Darryl: what about you? Do you get that that experience?

Edmund: yeah, I mean; I mean most I guess most people in our space will see this come through in terms of pricing and I'll go; oh, I've only got this much of a budget and it's like; well, haven't I; haven't I discussed how much effort it's gonna take to do this which translates to hours. Right? So there's that issue as well but despite that I see people all the time just not respecting the commitment and the effort that it takes to do anything. Right? And, yeah

Darryl: yeah, I mean that's a really good point and have you used the analogy of getting fit or losing weight. My favorite expression around Ed is you know; I didn't put on the 10 kilos in a week

Edmund: that's right

Darryl: it grew on me over time. You know; I invested in put it on that way over yeah by eating certain things. Your body just doesn't go; you know what? You splurged to this weekend. I know you had three Big Macs and then a couple of beers and all the rest of it. We’re gonna dump five kilos of that straight on. It doesn't work that way. It can process, it's the consistent ongoing stuff (3:23…?)

Edmund: yeah, what's your saying? What’s your saying? Give us this thing.

Darryl: success is a few simple disciplines,
