Well it’s the weekend for most 9-5 people, but I try to spend my Saturdays working on personal development.

I try to look away from any client work and do things that benefit my personal business interests and myself, usually more my personal business than myself.

5 days a week like most of us we’re busy with client projects or working a fulltime job, so the only time spare is either after hours or weekends, I work long days as it is so its weekends for me.

Being in Thailand (yes I my office is in Thailand), the work week is a 6 day week, so my office is full of staff who are still doing client work, but I’m in here working on my own personal projects, and today I’m work on my blog, doing some minor updates and writing some articles. Having staff in here is a good motivator, I don’t treat it as the weekend, it’s a working day and I’m putting 100% into what I’m doing just like any other day.

I think it’s important to turn away clients for a day, don’t read your email, don’t answer the phone, just spend a day working on what’s important to you, what makes you feel good and work on your goals.

It’s also important to have personal goals, aside from earning your main revenue from clients, you should have a personal business goal, have a side project to work on and use this day to focus 100% on that project. Plan what you need to do and then every Saturday sit down and tick off items on that list.

That’s one of the ways I approach working on my personal projects, build a list and every Saturday look at the list and attack it like I would any oth
er client project.
