Good morning Reader,
This month's quote is not motivational as much as it's a daily reminder as we go back to the daily groove:

From Simon Raybould: Want to get to know more about why to tender and how to do it? (For the UK only!)
Getting work with the public sector can look like a nightmare… and it can be in reality too! But if you know the rules (written and unwritten!) it’s much easier. Why would you want to tender for public sector contracts? Because by the time a tender is open they already know what they want and all you have to do is show them they should get you to do it. Oh, and once you’ve got the contract, it’s work that comes to you for a long, long time.

From Hannah Munby: A new community for young art collectors
Hannah has just launched a new community of young art collectors at Fen Ditton Gallery. It’s for new and early stage collectors who are interested in art, perhaps have thought about collecting but want to gain the confidence to start. It’s all about breaking down the barriers of this illusive ‘art-world’ that for too long has been seen as only for the wealthy and old! Their website link is below or follow them on Instagram.

From Gus Bhandal: Why Clubhouse is better than ever
For business owners, in particular, it is full of free support and industry leaders are imparting their knowledge to everyone in the audience. You get access to people that you wouldn’t talk to anywhere else, and you get to join in the conversation (if you want to) rather than watch from afar.
