$1000 Side Hustle Challenge

Hey Nomads (or aspiring nomads),

I hope you’ve had a great week!

We did a short house sit up in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast this week to look after a beautiful 3 year old kelpie called Whiskey.

As you can see see in the header image for todays newsletter we bumped into some Kangaroos, which is something you don’t see everyday, and also spent some time at Noosa Main Beach where years ago we watched dolphins frolicking while eating fish & chips on the beach!

That’s one of the things I love about Australia. It may have some of the most dangerous animals in the world, but there is a plethora of wildlife! 🦈 😳

In the meantime I’m excited to kick things off in the Side Hustles for 50+ Nomads group this week. Maybe I should have called it ‘The $1000 Side Hustle Challenge’, as that’s the goal! To encourage as many members as possible to generate $1000+ a month in profits to help fund freedom and world travel!

On Monday (Tues morning for me), I’ll be attempting to go live in the FB group with the first workshop! (I say attempting as I’m notorious for screwing up the tech! - I always get there in the end 😆) But all being well, I’ll be walking through the secret sauce to starting strong!

NB: It won’t be a long 60 minute webinar with a veiled sales pitch. The group is completely free for 2025 with zero catches! 

So come and join for a fun and profitable ride!

Hope to see you in there!
