Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Notes from Chris

Episode 2362
From Santa Monica, California, we've got an energetic listener on the line. Caleb, a pickleball enthusiast and community organizer at heart, is considering a unique side hustle that involves his passion. He's thinking about hosting a pickleball tournament in his hometown, primarily for the fun and camaraderie but with a dream of maybe turning it into a profitable venture if it takes off.

I love the community spirit, and the intersection of passion and potential profit is exactly where a side hustle should reside. Let's dive into how he can set up this sporting event for success, both as a community builder and a potential business opportunity.

"Hey there, I'm Caleb from Santa Monica, California. Love the show and your books. I’ve recently developed a deep interest in pickleball, a sport that's picking up steam all across America. As someone who thrives on bringing people together, I've been contemplating organizing a love pickleball tournament.

My main motivation is to create a fun event for pickleball aficionados, but I've also been wondering: Could this grow into something more than just a community event? If the tournament becomes popular, I'd be thrilled to turn this into a regular, profitable venture. How can I plan this out so that, along with fostering community spirit, I could potentially generate a financial profit as well?"
