Okay, so the question is, the next hire is, how do I buy more time? If I buy more time, can I be in front of more people? Which means you're now hiring more of an executive assistant that has a license that can do some TC work. Right. Paperwork. We don't want to stop doing paperwork and make. They might be doing some task management. They are not your marketing person. Do not confuse that. Do not go, I want a marketer, a task manager. They're not the same people. They aren't. Right. They're a task manager. They are there to keep your life on track, watch your calendar, set appointments, and they should be able to talk to clients eventually.
