  • Episode 147: Starting Out All Over Again
    Hi, it's Sean here -The world is in a strange place right now...Things we previously felt were stable - such as our careers - are feeling a lot less reliable.It's pretty common to be waking up in the middle of the night worrying if you're going to be able to continue providing for your family.A lot of our past students have been taking their knowledge and skills around bike repair and turning it into a profitable business - either on the side or as a full-time career.The demand is pretty high right now, and there simply aren't enough bike mechanics to go around.Perhaps you too have dreamed of turning your passion for bikes into a side income?Well, funnily enough, as I'm starting a new life in Switzerland, I am also doing just that. I'm setting up a workshop in my garage and aim to do a few services a week of high end bikes for the most demanding customers. I've gone right back to basics, although this time I won't be filling my calendar for 8 hours a day with fixing bikes, even though I'm sure I could and very quickly.If you're inspired to learn more and chat with me, you can visit www.https://go.cyclesystemsonline.com/teamcamp
