Yeah, there's type one and type two fun. So type one fun is enjoyable in the moment and type two fun is enjoyable when you look back on it. So, and you need both. So like type one fun is being at a party. Type two fun is doing six to nine months work on a particular difficult thing and then getting it done and achieving a launch or something.

Allow yourself the gift of, well, allow yourself a bit of love language. Like, for example, the other day I spoke to an entrepreneur who he's been working in his business for three years.
