We had cracker of a Purposeful Side Hustle Meetup! We were delighted that so many people got in touch afterwards and told us that they met lots of friendly interesting people and that they loved the raw, authentic honesty of our panelists.
Here's 3 of the pieces of wisdom (among many) shared by our panel Helen Simpson from Ikabo and Future Fit Families, Muneesh Mudwah from Humanity in Business and Tracey Middleton Communiteer.
- Having a purposeful side hustle is energising ...and exciting but it's also a tough, busy balancing act. You need to make sure you look after yourself and prioritise self care otherwise you'll lose the drive and the energy you need.
- It's very helpful to have a partner in crime to help you with your hustle. Try to find someone who balances your skills and abilities, but most importantly find someone who gives you energy and helps you to keep going because they are as passionate about your business as you are
- It can be a tricky balance sometimes between purpose and profit when your purposeful baby grows up. You need to stay true to the reason you started the business, but don't completely lose sight of paying the bills either.

The time for equality is now, Madonna argues: "It's an outdated, patriarchal idea that a woman has to stop being fun, curious, adventurous, beautiful, or sexy past the age of 40.
At age 59, she shares: "I'm just continuing on with my life as I always have. I've never gotten complacent. I've never gotten comfortable. I keep pushing myself into uncomfortable positions and taken risks...If you keep putting yourself in challenging, new adventurous situations, then you keep yourself alive and youthful."
