You're in the right place if… You've been longing to understand how to build true resilience in yourself and your family, especially in a world where life often feels chaotic and overwhelming. You're looking for practical insights on how receiving from God rather than striving in your own strength can transform your peace, relationships, and daily life. You want to create a home where connection with God and others isn't just an idea but a way of life that fosters rest, resilience, and growth for you and your loved ones. Doug and Janet share an energizing and inspirational conversation about these key ideas: Receiving from God: We often equate resilience with pushing through and striving, but true resilience begins with receiving—accepting God's love, wisdom, and strength as the basis for living rather than relying solely on ourselves. We discuss how being a “receiver” of God's truth can help dissolve fear and build a foundation of peace. Rest Over Striving: When we begin with rest, we allow God to be the primary resource for our lives. We share how a daily rhythm of “receiving and resting” in His truth can actually build stronger resilience, versus the burnout that comes from self-reliance. Secure Attachments as a Source of Strength: Building resilience starts with secure attachments to God, family, and community. Living with a secure attachment means we don't have to be our own best resource; instead, we experience transformation through relational connections that ground us. Transformational Relationships Over Transactional Ones: Too often, we look at relationships transactionally, expecting to get something in return. In contrast, transformational relationships foster growth by creating environments where emotional safety, truth-telling, and encouragement lead to real resilience. Linger in these TAKEAWAYS: 1. Resilience Begins with Receiving – Building resilience doesn't mean pushing harder; it means receiving fully from God and leaning into the support He offers through His presence, His Word, and our secure relationships. 2. Rest as a Rhythm for Resilience—Resilience thrives when we intentionally rest and refuse to hustle out of fear. Making rest a daily habit strengthens our ability to face challenges with peace and confidence. 3. Secure Attachment is Foundational – Secure attachments to God and others empower us to live fearlessly. In safe relationships, we experience a transformation that helps us handle life's difficulties with a rooted sense of peace, love, and resilience.

คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่4 (144) ล้มแล้วลุกได้ไว! (Resilience) “เพราะคนชอบธรรมล้มลงเจ็ดครั้งแล้วก็ลุกขึ้นอีก แต่คนอธรรมจะสะดุดล้มลงในความยากลำบาก” ~‭‭สุภาษิต‬ ‭24‬:‭16‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up. But when trouble strikes the wicked, that's the end of them.”‭‭ ~Proverbs‬ ‭24‬:‭16‬ ‭CEV‬ Mary Holloway กล่าวไว้ได้ดีว่า “การล้มแล้วลุกให้ไว(Resilence)คือ การรู้ว่าคุณเป็นเพียงคนเดียวเท่านั้นที่มีอำนาจและมีความรับผิดชอบ ในการยกตัวคุณเองขึ้นมา!” “Resilience is knowing that you are the only one that has the power and the responsibility to pick yourself up.” 
 แท้จริงแล้ว ใครๆก็ล้มได้แต่ที่สร้างความแตกต่างก็คือ คนๆนั้น จะลุกขึ้นหรือไม่? ถ้าเปรียบกับการแข่งขันกีฬา แม้ว่า เราจะล้มลงกี่ครั้ง หรือ จะออกอาการบอบช้ำสาหัสมากสักแค่ไหนหากเรายังกัดฟัน รับผิดชอบตัวเอง และลุกขึ้นสู้ ด้วยกำลังทุกอย่างที่เรามีเราก็อาจมีโอกาสชนะหรือแพ้ก็ได้แต่ถ้าเรา ไม่ลุกขึ้น เราจะเป็นผู้แพ้ทันที! ดังนั้น เราจึงต้องมี “Resilience”ในการลุกขึ้นมาอีกครั้ง เพื่อ1.ชัยชนะ หรือ 2.กลับมาเริ่มต้นใหม่ที่สดใสกว่าเดิมได้ แล้ว “Resilience “คืออะไร? คำว่า Resilience มีหลายความหมาย เช่นหมายถึง“1.การล้มแล้วลุกได้ไว หรือลุกได้เร็ว 2.การฟื้นพลัง 3.ความสามารถทางอารมณ์และจิตใจในการปรับตัวและฟื้นตัวกลับสู่ภาวะปกติ ภายหลังจากที่พบวิกฤตการณ์หรือสถานการณ์ที่ก่อให้เกิดความยากลำบากในชีวิต Resilience นี้ จึงเป็นคุณสมบัติสำคัญยิ่งที่จะช่วยให้บุคคลใดบุคคลหนึ่ง ผ่านพ้นอุปสรรคอันแสนยากลำบาก และสามารถดำเนินชีวิตได้อย่างมีความสุข อีกครั้งอย่างแข็งแกร่งและสง่างามมากยิ่งกว่าเดิม แล้วองค์ประกอบ ของResilience ที่เป็นความสามารถสุดแสนพิเศษนี้ มีอะไรบ้าง?คำตอบ คือ 1.ความมั่นคงทางอารมณ์ทนต่อแรงกดดันได้ สามารถ 1).ดูแลจิตใจตนเองให้คงอยู่ได้ในภาวะกดดัน 2).รู้เท่าทันอารมณ์ความรู้สึกของตนและผู้อื่น 3).จัดการกับอารมณ์ความรู้สึกทางลบของตัวเองได้ในสถานการณ์ต่างๆ ~ซึ่ง มีความจำเป็นมากในระยะแรกที่เผชิญสถานการณ์วิกฤต2.ความหวัง กำลังใจ หรือ แรงใจที่ทำให้ดำเนินชีวิตต่อไปภายใต้สถานการณ์ที่กดดัน ซึ่งอาจมาจากการสร้างขึ้นโดย 1).ตนเอง 2).คนรอบข้าง หรือ 3).ใครบางคน 3.ความมั่นใจที่พร้อมต่อสู้เอาชนะปัญหาอุปสรรคที่เกิดจากสถานการณ์วิกฤติ โดยตระหนักในความสามารถหรือทักษะของตนเองว่าตน 1).ทำได้ 2).แก้ปัญหาที่เผชิญได้ และ 3).มีทักษะในการ ก.แสวงหาความรู้ และ ข.เข้าถึงความช่วยเหลือ และสามารถฟื้นคืนกลับมาสู่สภาพเดิม หรือดีกว่าเดิมได้ และเมื่อเรา มี Resilience ในชีวิต เราจะกลายเป็นคนที่ “ล้มไม่เป็น” “ล้มแล้วไม่นอนนิ่ง” แต่ เป็นคนที่“ล้มแล้วลุกขึ้นในทันที” หรือ “ล้มแล้วลุกได้ไว“ เพราะเรามี 1.ความมั่นคงทางอารมณ์2.ความหวังใจ และ3.ความมั่นใจว่า เราสามารถกลับคืนสู่สภาพเดิมได้ อย่างมีความสุข โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง เมื่อเรายอมจำนนต่อพระเจ้าอย่างสิ้นเชิง และ 1).ขอให้พระเจ้าทรงนำย่างเท้าของเรา “พระยาห์เวห์ทรงนำย่างเท้าคนใดให้มั่นคง ก็คนนั้นแหละที่พระองค์พอพระทัยทางของเขา แม้เขาสะดุด เขาจะไม่ล้มลง เพราะพระยาห์เวห์ทรงยุดมือเขาไว้”‭‭ ~สดุดี‬ ‭37‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ 2).ขอให้พระเจ้าทรงเป็นกำลังใจของเรา “ร่างกายและจิตใจของข้าพระองค์จะวายไป แต่พระเจ้าทรงเป็นกำลังใจและเป็นมรดกส่วนของข้าพระองค์เป็นนิตย์”‭‭ ~สดุดี‬ ‭73‬:‭26‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ 3).ขอให้พระเจ้าทรงเป็นความสว่างของเรา “ศัตรูของข้าเอ๋ย อย่าเปรมปรีดิ์เย้ยข้าเลย เมื่อข้าล้มลง ข้าจะลุกขึ้นอีก เมื่อข้านั่งอยู่ในความมืด พระยาห์เวห์จะทรงเป็นความสว่างแก่ข้า”‭‭ ~มีคาห์‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ พี่น้องที่รัก วันนี้ คุณมี Resilence หรือ ความสามารถพิเศษในการฟื้นพลังตัวเองเช่นนี้ แล้ว หรือยัง? ถ้ายังไม่มี คุณควรรีบเข้าหาพระเจ้า และทูลขอจากพระองค์ในทันทีเลย! …จะดีไหม? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์22สิงหาคม 2024 #YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc#คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี

“Be quick to forgive yourself. It's hard to do, but be quick to forgive people around you. We're going to disappoint ourselves, and people are going to disappoint us. Just forgive, get over it.

The relationship is so much more.” — Link Forester Join us in this powerful episode of Uncorking a Story with  Link Forester, an author whose life is a testament to finding joy and purpose through unexpected challenges.

Cultivating resilience and being able to adapt, helps us to embrace changes and uncertainty to help us to navigate our life assignments

Pastor Kris Duerksen | Resilience (Part 1) | The Most Important Ingredient For Resilience

While Nelson Mandela's quote “I never lose. I either win or learn.” is inspiring and encourages a positive mindset, it's essential to recognize that losses are an inevitable part of our journey, and they can teach us valuable lessons. In the intricate tapestry of life, victories and defeats weave together to shape our existence. While Mandela's perspective emphasizes resilience and learning, let's not sidestep the process required to rebound from losses. This podcast will help you navigate the losses you encounter: Acknowledging Reality: Losses are real. They sting, leaving scars on our hearts and minds. Denying their impact would be disingenuous. Accepting defeat doesn't diminish our strength; it highlights our humanity. It's okay to feel the weight of loss. Lessons in Reflection: True growth emerges when we pause to reflect on our losses. Why did we stumble? What patterns led to defeat? Evaluating our missteps allows us to recalibrate our compass, steering toward better choices. Wisdom from Adversity: Losses aren't mere setbacks; they're classrooms where life imparts its most profound lessons. Through failure, we gain empathy, resilience, and humility. These qualities enrich our character. The Art of Resilience: Resilience isn't about denying loss; it's about bouncing back stronger. We learn to adapt, to find new paths, and to rise from the ashes. The phoenix knows loss intimately. Investing in Growth: Mandela's quote hints at investing in learning. But let's expand that investment. We invest not only in knowledge but also in emotional intelligence, compassion, and self-awareness. Crafting Better Outcomes: The alchemy of transformation lies in our response to loss. We refine our behaviors, discard what no longer serves us, and forge new habits. Each setback becomes a stepping stone toward better outcomes. The Beauty of Imperfection: Perfection isn't the goal; progress is. Our scars tell stories of resilience, courage, and evolution. Imperfections make us relatable, connect us to others, and remind us that growth is a messy, beautiful process. Victory and loss coexist, shaping our narratives. So, while we learn from defeat, let's also embrace the raw beauty of our imperfect, resilient selves.

From Thor's mighty hammer to Superman's superhuman strength, these powers captivate our imagination. But what about us? What are our superpowers? In this blog, we will explore the concept of personal superpowers and how we can tap into them to unleash our full potential. 1. The Power of Self-Awareness: Our first superpower lies in self-awareness. Understanding our strengths, weaknesses, passions, and values allows us to make conscious choices aligned with our true selves. By embracing self-awareness, we can harness our unique abilities and channel them towards achieving our goals. 2. The Power of Positive Thinking: Positive thinking is a superpower that can transform our lives. By cultivating a positive mindset, we can overcome challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and attract opportunities. Positive affirmations and visualization techniques can help us tap into this power, enabling us to manifest our desires and create a more fulfilling reality. 3. The Power of Empathy: Empathy is a superpower that allows us to connect deeply with others. By understanding and sharing the feelings of those around us, we can build stronger relationships, foster compassion, and make a positive impact on the world. Empathy enables us to be more understanding, supportive, and inclusive, creating a ripple effect of kindness and understanding. 4. The Power of Resilience: Resilience is a superpower that helps us bounce back from adversity. Life is full of challenges, but with resilience, we can face them head-on and emerge stronger. Resilience allows us to adapt, learn from failures, and persevere in the face of obstacles. By cultivating resilience, we can navigate life's ups and downs with grace and determination. Visit our Sponsor: www.LandedforSuccess.com Conclusion: While we may not have the ability to fly or possess superhuman strength like our favorite superheroes, we all have unique superpowers within us. By embracing self-awareness, positive thinking, empathy, and resilience, we can tap into these powers and unleash our full potential. So, let's embrace our inner superheroes and embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and making a positive impact on the world around us. Remember, your superpowers are waiting to be unleashed!

Resilience is a muscle. The more it work it, The stronger it gets. The stronger it gets, The more resilient you become.  JOURNAL PROMPTS: Write about yourself as a resilient person.  What has made you resilient?  How have you found strength in tough times? 

“I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.” Maya Angelou. You are resilient.   You have everything within you, To get back up, Even after the most devastating failures, The darkest seasons, The heaviest burdens. You are so much stronger than you can comprehend. And your resilience through life, Changes you, Evolves you, And strengthens you even more.  JOURNAL PROMPTS: When's the last time you came back from a setback?  Who models resilience around you?  What have you learned about yourself and your resilience?

In this week's Wednesday Recap, J.R. summarizes the three BIG nuggets of wisdom from his interview with Dr. Patrick Bisher - a former Navy SEAL, mental toughness consultant, and founder of the GRIT Academy. So if you want the cliffs notes version of Monday's episode, make sure to check out this week's Recap! [00:01 - 09:36] Dr. Patrick's BIG Three #1: How to Overcome and Protect Yourself From Falling Into the Label Trap Apply the GRIT method Growth - In order to have growth, you cannot fear failure. Embrace it. Resilience - Resilience = response over reaction. As soon as you start going down the label trap, STOP! Then think about what you're about to do. Adopt the “I may be broken, but you're not going to break me. Integrity of Self - Stay humble. If you try to go about it with your ego and without humility, you will be humiliated. Time - Question to ponder: What have you done BEFORE the label was created? #2: How Navy Seals handle pressure Ask yourself if the pressure is a matter of life or death. Don't ever rise to the level of the occasion. Instead, fall back to the level of your training. Put yourself in that pressure scenario for practice or visualize yourself going through it. #3: The Approach to Leadership That More Leaders Need to Lock Into Servant Leadership - never ask anybody to do anything you either haven't done yourself or aren't willing to do yourself.

Have you ever wondered how much your religion, or lack of religion, affects your ability to be resilient and cope with the difficulties of life? It has actually been found that resilience and religion can be closely tied. People use religion as a motivating force. It has been found that, generally, religion makes you a more resilient person. However, there are a few ways that religion can do the opposite, and cause some hindrance to your ability to be resilient. It may sometimes skew your perception of the world into something that is unrealistic. At church you hear stories about how people do good things, and everything works out for them. So sometimes the stories we hear give us a misconception that if we behave good, things will always work out in the end. In this podcast, LeAnn will teach you how to understand the ways that religion can build or halter your resilience. You will learn how to use it as a strength through doing simple things like accepting reality and striving to be good without tying your efforts to the outcomes. When we understand the way that life really works, and understand that God is in the details of our lives, it can make us more resilient. Religion and faith are protective factors towards your resilience.

The modern world that we live in has a way of creating stressors that previous generations did not have to deal with. Many of these are micro stressors, small things that seem simple or insignificant on their own, but have a way of piling up and causing us to feel anxious or stressed without understanding exactly why. Due to the increased stress that we feel in modern life, we need to increase our resilience. There are three kinds of resilience, but the most relevant and needed kind for the taxing nature of this modern world is sustained resilience, which is knowing how to consistently deal with the everyday stressors we experience. In this podcast, LeAnn explains what sustained resilience is and will teach you what you can do in your life to create solutions and find relief and hope in the face of constant stress. As you come to understand this concept more, and learn how to utilize this principle, you will be able to improve your ability to be resilient

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Oleg Loughheed. Oleg has an incredible story. He was born into poverty in Russia. He lived with an alcoholic mother, slept with bed bugs, and was lucky to get a good meal when he could – even if that menat he had to steal it. He never met his father. At 12 years old, he left his birth mother behind not knowing he would never see her again and entered an orphanage to be adopted so he could have a better life. He was adopted by a family in the U.S. This changed his life and gave him all the opportunity he could ever asked for. And Oleg is not wasting it. He is the founder of Overcoming Odds – a non-profit dedicated to helping people share their stories and experiences of resilience and overcoming insurmountable odds to teach others how they can do the same. As an international adoptive father, I can not only relate to Oleg’s story of where he came from and the situation he was in, but I also have a special appreciation of what it took to overcome it. And it’s this unique perspective that I want him to share with you in this episode. ​ https://www.overcomingodds.today/ Oleg’s story begins in a small town in Russia. He was born into a broken home. At 3 years old, Oleg’s mother became an alcoholic. And at 3 years old, Oleg was reliant on her and in her state, she could not really be there for him. His sister started to become his caretaker but was not prepared for it. He was a “rock in the middle of two islands.” His sister was reluctant to look after him and resented her mother for it. Oleg says he is grateful because everything he went through makes up who he is today. The strength, courage, and who has become is all due to these experiences. At 9 years, HE DECIDED to relinquish his parents’ rights and become an orphan. He decided that the orphanage could provide better for him than his current situation. Some of this was true, but there was also physical and mental abuse that came with it. At the 9 min mark, we discuss the amazing decision Oleg was able to make at 9 years old to separate from his family. He shares how he had to mature much faster as he was tested at a very young age at the highest levels to have to grow up. Whether it was fighting hunger, finding a way to survive, watching his mother’s abuse and her being abused from those around her, he had to essentially live on his own and take care of himself. He learned early on to be a problem solver and part of his issue was he wanted to solve problems for his mother but could not. At 12 years old, he was adopted and brought the U.S. He was put into 6th grade. He could not speak English and new very little about this area of the world. He had to figure everything out. He had challenges with keeping up, making friends, even communicating. The only way he could communicate was by kicking the soccer ball back and forth on the playground and this is how he began to make friends. It took him about 2-3 years to get up to speed. At the 16:30 mark, Oleg talks about how he found his drive in the times he had gone out searching for his birth mother and what he encountered. What are the biggest lessons you’ve taken away from your journey that have helped your success? Never say you can’t do something in life. Language really matters. What you tell yourself is who you become. Never sell yourself short. What was the hardest thing you had to overcome in your journey? Some of the closest people to us can be the biggest critics and the ones that can stop you from living your story. Stepping outside of this was the biggest challenge. The way to get through it is to understand that you have a bigger purpose and you must fulfill that purpose. Patience is critical as it takes time – not only to go through it, but to work it through internally. Results, many times, come years down the road. Tell us about RDNA. What is it? Resilience Resilience is developed over time Resilience comes from your self-confidence in your own abilities and decision making. Before confidence comes perspective. How you perceive things impacts your confidence. Discovery Self-discovery What makes you unique? Who are you? Who is helping you? Who is not? Network Who is part of your network? Who should you be surrounding yourself with? What are the qualities they should have? Authenticity You must be who you are today. Don’t wear a mask. Be true to yourself and know yourself. At the 37 min mark, Oleg talks about discovering one’s purpose… The challenge is defining your purpose and then refining your purpose over time. Ask “Why me?” Look at your journey and ask why you had to go through what you have gone through in your life. Why me? What are you supposed to learn from this? Ask how this has shaped your trajectory and who you need to be grateful to for their help along the way. Be careful not to overcomplicate things. The answer is usually right in front of you and simpler that think…. It comes down to, “If not you, then who else? “Who else is meant to go through to understand life from the particular view that you can? Our purpose is always already within us. We have the experience and events that happen in our lives. Its about being able to define those experiences and events on how we choose to view them and use them to help us and serve others. Building something before you know who you are and what you stand for, can lead you down a dangerous road. What is developing an entrepreneur mindset a necessity? Most of us are entrepreneurs at heart. A lot of the things we do in today’s day and age are about surviving, thriving, and connecting which is at the core of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is solving problems, and this is a built-in ability for us. ​ What is the best advice you would give an entrepreneur starting out today? Really commit to understanding who you are. Keep asking “Who am? “Am I doing this for the right reasons?” “Am I connecting with the right people?” You are the best ideal customer to solve a problem for and start a business around. You should build something that’s of value to you. Don’t build for someone else. Build for yourself and it will attract others along the way. When you build for you, it will be to solve a problem for you and not just about making money immediately which is a bad reason to build a business on. Oleg’s acronym for authentic… Accepting your past. Ask, “Who do I have to forgive in my past to move forward in your story?” Understanding you are unique. What makes you unique, what makes you, you? Tell your story. Your story has impact and hearing yourself is critical as your story becomes who you are to the world. Encourage others. Encourage others to share their story. Never say you can’t. Never say you can’t do something in your life. Tell you story to more people! Influencing others. Show them where really are and let them see what is really going on. Help them see that they are not alone. Connecting with others. Don’t be afraid to build your community and bring in those that can challenge you.   Best Quote: Your past doesn’t have to define your present or your future. Your past is a foundation to learn from and give your lessons and takeaways. It is a reference point for how far you’ve come in life.   Oleg's Misfit 3: Ask “Why me?” Why did you go through what you went through and how did you overcome it? What did you learn? Language truly does matter. What words to do you use with yourself? Are you encouraging yourself and others to live out their story or not? Perspective. Is this happening TO you or is it happening FOR you. The perspective you choose to take in life will have a dramatic impact on your life.

 Whether it’s a stall at a local market selling hand knitted beanies for dogs, running an online store via Amazon selling rainbow coloured shoelaces, or designing the occasional band logo on 99 designs, I believe EVERYONE should have a Side Hustle. We’re here after all to find ways for you to gain choice in your life – that’s what Financial Autonomy is all about. And if it’s choice that you want, there are few greater enablers than a Side Hustle. So in today’s post, we’re going to explore the reasons why I believe everyone should have a Side Hustle in their life. I’ve come up with 6 reasons why I believe we should all have a Side Hustle. I’m sure there’s many more, but hopefully these ones will give you the kick along needed to start something of your own.    1.  The learning As I mentioned at the top, a Side Hustle can take all sorts of forms, and the one that’s right for you needs to align with your personal interests and skills. But let’s take as an example a simple online store. Maybe you sell through Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, or whatever makes sense for you. Hopefully it’s successful and you get the financial rewards that you are seeking. But there is so much more to be gained than just the financial benefits. You have to think about marketing. Will you promote on social media, or Google? Will you embark on a paid advertising strategy, or go for organic word of mouth? If it’s social media, which platform will you focus on, how will you source the images, and on and on. You’ll learn a tonne just working through that. But of course if you’re running an online store there’s a lot more than just the marketing. Where will you source your product? How will you get it to customers? And how will you determine your price? You’ve got book-keeping, tax, and all sorts. Now I’m not trying to put you off here – far from it. You’ll be starting on a small scale, and because it’s not your full time source of income, you can take things at a pace that works for you. But I’m sure you can get a sense of just how many different things you’ll learn as a result of your Side Hustle adventure. So how will that help you? Well imagine if you’re in a meeting at your day job a few months from now and a manager is bemoaning the fact that targets aren’t being met. Perhaps someone throws out an idea of a new approach, which meets with no enthusiasm within the room. But you pipe up and say something like, “I think that’s worth giving a shot. I could run a small campaign on Facebook to that target market, allocate $10 a day for 3 weeks, and we could see if there’s any interest”. Your colleagues all rock back in their set like a bomb just went off in the middle of the room, and you’re ranking on the internal totem pole just moved up several places in management’s eyes. I could stop just here, because I believe the learning gained from giving a Side Hustle a crack is reason enough that everyone should have a Side Hustle. But I won’t stop here.   2.  Resilience Resilience is something we consider a lot when developing financial autonomy strategies for our clients. Life isn’t always chocolates and roses. Unexpected things happen, and often you wished they didn’t. One of the biggest set-backs many of us could face is losing our job. But if you have been working away on a little Side Hustle, perhaps this set-back actually provides an opportunity to see where this little side project can go. Instead of spending 5 hours a week, now you can spend 40 or 50. Maybe the business develops into something to replace your former wages. Or perhaps it gets to a size where it’s sellable, as happened with Sharon in episode 41. Maybe, with what you’ve learned in your side hustle, you can apply for jobs that previously you would have dismissed because you lacked the pre-requisite knowledge or skills. I know of someone who worked in the automotive industry and of course got made redundant. Now his skills from that old job weren’t especially useful once he’d left, and for the few jobs that could use those skills, there were hundreds of potential candidates to compete against. But he’d always had an interest in automation, and whilst still working had done a course on security systems and the technical aspects behind these systems. When he left the car industry, it took him no time at all to get the necessary licenses and start working under someone installing sophisticated security systems. Now in this example his Side Hustle hadn’t developed into a money making proposition at the time he lost his job, but the mere fact that he was learning new skills meant that his resilience in a time of adversity was enormously enhanced.   3.  The compounding effect of some extra cash Albert Einstein apparently said “compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it… he who doesn’t, pays it”. Let’s say you’ve got a $300,000 mortgage. And with the current repayments that you’re making, you’re on-track to have it repaid in a little under 19 years. If your Side Hustle could generate enough so that you could increase your loan repayments by just $200 per month – only $200!, $50 dollars per week! , you’d cut 2 and a half years of your loan term and save almost $22,000 in interest. If you’re Side Hustle enabled you to put an extra $500 a month into your loan, your loan is repaid 5 years quicker, and about $44,000 is saved in interest. So your small little Side Hustle that only throws off $6,000 a year could save you $44,000 in interest – have I convinced you yet? But wait, there’s more.   4.  Expand your network This podcast is my Side Hustle. I can’t quite recall how I came across it now, but I stumbled into a meet-up group of Melbourne podcasters, and through that I’ve gotten to know several people who I never would have met otherwise. Most interestingly, they’re from totally different walks of life. The astute podcast listeners amongst you will have noticed that a little while back the disclaimer item that we play in each episode changed a little. The original version was recorded by my wife in our wardrobe – really high-tech stuff! The newer version though is by a friend I meet through the meet-up group who produces the Dating Upside Down podcast. She’s got all the gear and so could help out and give the newer version much better audio quality. Expanding your network can have all sorts of benefits, from new job opportunities, friendships, and support.   5.  More options As mentioned at the beginning, we’re pursuing Financial Autonomy to gain choice. Closely linked to choice is having options, and a Side Hustle helps deliver you options. If you’ve got a commercially viable Side Hustle up and running you become empowered. Current boss treating you poorly? Perhaps your Side Hustle gives you the financial safety net to wave him goodbye. Full time hours not letting you be the parent that you want to be? Maybe your Side Hustle provides the extra income to make it viable to cut back to part time hours. Bored in your current job and want to try something different? As already touched on, your Side Hustle could help facilitate your career change in all sorts of ways. So yet another reason why everyone should have a Side Hustle is that it gives you so many options. And my final reason why everyone, and especially you, should have a Side Hustle is…   6.  Extra cash helps Now I know, money doesn’t buy happiness, and we only need to look at the recent apparent breakdown of Jamie Packer, one of the richest Australian’s there is, to confirm that. But a lack of money certainly causes its own stresses and limitations, and this is where your Side Hustle might come to the rescue. If there are 2 people, both facing the prospect of losing their job, and one has a Side Hustle earning $2,000 a month and the other doesn’t, which do you think is likely to be less stressed? The school holidays are coming up. Your neighbour and her kids are staying home, but your Side Hustle has paid for a week interstate to see the sights. Lots of smiles all around.
