Episode 561
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: This weekend, I have been out and about! I flew from NYC to Doha, Qatar, and then I booked an award ticket to Vienna. I have not been doing a lot of international travel recently, but back in the day, I used to do this pretty regularly—at least once a month if not more. I've learned a lot over the course of my travels, and I've created a free travel hacking guide. To have it delivered to your inbox, email travel@sidehustleschool.com! In today's Weekly Recap, I want to talk a bit about change and reinvention. Last week a listener by the name of Melanie wrote in talking about reinvention, and I mentioned that “Reinvention is a wonderful word and theme.” If you find yourself in a place where you think, "hey, I want to make some changes," the #1 thing I can suggest is to start making those changes right away. Don’t wait for January 1st. Don’t wait until you have everything figured out. Identify just a few things, big or small, that you can do, and get them done! Most of us don’t have a perfectly wonderful life, so you can always improve. Take 10 minutes today and make a decision. Listen to today's Weekly Recap to learn more about my tips for finding ways to reinvent yourself or bring about change!LISTENER Q&A: This week we had a listener email from Tom:
- Tom: "Hey, Chris! I read Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days and started a hands-free side hustle using Omni to rent out belongings. Thanks for writing the book—it really helped kick me off the couch and into gear! I can't wait to start something else."
