Today is Friday and we have a Thought of the Walk Episode. I was inspired to talk about something no one is really bringing up – getting past this economic disaster and health problem. Governments everywhere are rolling out plans to “restart the economy.” WTH?? It is not up to the government to do this – it is up to us.

May your weekend be fruitful and your beacon shine brightly.

Today, I hopped over on Mewe to ask what folks would like to hear about and got a laundry list of ideas. Mr. Eash posited one that I thought would be timely today: changes you might want to make to be ready to not leave for 4 weeks in light of our extension through April 30 on stay at home orders. He was asking from the perspective of a homestead, but I will take a bigger lifestyle view of this.

Today at your request, I talk through practical approach to building side hustle income into your life. This is meant to help you get the right frame of mind as you build revenue streams, rather than send you off to try 14,000 new hustles. Because right now, there are opportunities, if just working at Krogers for a month or two, and no need to feel totally hopeless about income if you have lost your job.
