Dev Logic is making the jump back to the ‘burbs in coming weeks. We’ve spent the last five years in a beautiful part of regional New South Wales, twenty minutes from the nearest shop and schools. Living on dirt roads has given us a reprieve from having to wash our cars – there’s just no point; and we’ve dodged several kangaroos, wombats, rabbits, lyrebirds and ducks in this time. We’ve shared our land with sheep, horses, alpacas, chickens, more kangaroos, and cows. We once had a client ask why he could hear a rooster noise. Well, that was our pet rooster.
The sunsets out here and the rolling fog in the valleys certainly are sights to behold, but it’s a long way from the social and professional circles in which we thrive. So it’s time to pull up stumps and move back to the small smoke. We’re not going all the way back to Sydney, but we are going about half way, to a suburban street that has garbage removal and street lights.
I’ve been considering the logistics of packing and moving our home and office – hiring a truck and calling in favours. I could spend evenings packing boxes, grumbling about it, breaking things, laying awake at night packing mental boxes and wondering what will fit where. No thanks. I need my sanity and we need our time. So we’ve decided to hire the experts.
The expert movers will pack up our whole house, shed and whatever else is left laying around, deliver it, and unpack it, so that we can keep working and have as close to a seamless transition as possible. They know what they’re doing; they’re less likely to break stuff and they don’t swear at the crockery.
It’s tempting to want to retain control but if you aren’t good at it or don’t enjoy it, why not delegate it to someone who does it for a living?

For the business owner and entrepreneur, there will probably come a time when you need to think about delegating.
