You know that saying, if you want something done then give it to someone who is busy?
I genuinely think she believes she is soooo super busy because she has to do the occasional Skype meeting or drive to the local post office to take photos - because that is 'busy' to someone who spends all day doing nothing!
I have a friend who set up a contractor business but subcontracted everything to everyone else and paid staff to run the admin side of things so effectively she got paid a really good wage to do nothing. She became so unrelatable because whilst everyone else was working 60 hours per week, she was moaning about how busy she was as she had to book a doctor's appointment and pop to the post office to send off some eBay parcels. Because she spent so much of her time doing nothing, these seemed like gargantuan tasks to her! I think the same applies to Lidl in that she is now so used to her usual routine of doing a workout and then spending the day dossing about and napping, that anything else is a huge effort and makes her 'so busy'. The girl needs a huge reality check!
This. Exactly! I know so many people that are like this. They become out of touch with reality and genuinely believe they're busy and have no time when they actually have to do a small amount of work. My brother is the same - he complains he's been so busy and had no time if he only gets to play on his xbox for a couple of hours instead of all day - and he only works 2 mornings a week, but talk to him and you'd think he has the worlds most stressful job that no-one else could handle.
Lydia has admitted she no longer deals with emails or general admin. She has a photographer for her instagram or Ad campaigns who also edits pictures (badly). She rarely edits her own videos. She will only go to London for meetings 1 day per week maximum. She admits on the podcast she has hundreds of unread texts, messages and notifications so doesn't spend time sorting these. She spends a max of 5 mins liking a few comments on IG or YT, if at all where as most others will spend a few hours responding to questions or interacting with subs. She's taken on additional help to help with God knows what as she hasn't said yet. So apart from sitting in her grubby gown, talking to the camera and filming herself doing mundane household tasks, what the F does she actually do work wise??
How does Sophie Shohet manage to run her own successful business full time, film 2 videos per week, on time every time, edit her own content, deal with her own YT admin, personally write back to every subscriber that sends her letters and gifts, take her own pics, and manage to openly disclose all ads and gifted products without having a melt down?
