I'm writing this at 6pm on a Sunday. I've just finished a few hours work, alone in my office. Well, I made the cleaner jump at one point, but other than that, undisturbed.

I got to see my stepson play football this morning and had a run with my wife. But lunch was at my desk. Focus drinks and protein shakes are scattered around. And now I am writing this.

I don't do this every week. But, like most people growing a business, there's no real 9-5. Tomorrow will be a 12 hour day. Tuesday has a whole afternoon dedicated to Cyber Essentials training (yippee). And today ... I've been working on a Government procurement template, trying to win a bid.

Not many people would look at the work I have to do right now and envy it. Not the facts of the work.

But for me it is all part of building something that I've had in my mind for 3-4 years. Something that motivates me every single day. And so I worked all day Sunday:

Because I wanted to.

Because I love what I do.

Because I know what I am building for.

Because I had something I wanted to focus on.

Because that's what you do when you have a passion.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I hope you can find something to do that you love so much you want to spend a sunny Sunday up to your eyes in procurement processes 😆

And if you want help to figure what that might be for you, join my program. See what I did there?

Have a fabulous week, Stephen
