This way, you are rewarding yourself for all your hard work – as long as in your remaining 4 day working week, you do actually work hard.

Your “do nothing day” can also be that day in which you can have peace and quiet instead of the hustle and bustle of a weekend with shopping, family and days out on the town or at the park. Instead, it can be a day that allows you to take a step back and contemplate you rlife and your owrk.

Most of my good ideas come as a result of taking time out.

The only think I will say is that, whilst it is as simple as sitting down in your lounge with your laptop working away at your website or whatever you do, it’s important to remember that – just because you have the passion doesn’t mean it won’t be hard work – because it is.

Too many people give up quickly because they don’t see the results they want. From personal experience I think you have to make short, mid-term and long-term plans and goals, set yourself milestones and simply go for it.

Apart from anything else, there will be times when the going gets tough. This can be hard to get past, particularly if you’re doing something “for the money”, or “because you have to”. I’m not saying that passion is enough on its own, but it can certainly give you a massive boost.
