Side Hustle Shark Tank
LIVE or Remote delivery
A Creative Entrepreneurship Workshop for Young People
This is an immersive, hands-on session that combines storytelling, practical learning and live participation.What if young people did not wait for opportunities, but learned how to create their own?
In a rapidly changing world of work, traditional pathways are no longer the only option. Young people need the confidence, creativity and practical skills to generate their own income and opportunities.
Side Hustle Shark Tank is a high-impact, interactive workshop that introduces young people to the world of side hustles and creative entrepreneurship. It shows them how to start small, test ideas and take action.
This is not theory. It is a practical, real-world experience that helps participants see what is possible and how to begin.

As a young person looking into various business ideas and ways to start entering the world of entrepreneurship, the skills and help provided by workshops like the ones conducted by yours is invaluable. Knowing that the advice and knowledge is coming from someone with such personal experience and knowledge of entrepreneurship such as yourself is also very pleasant. I wish you all the best in taking this program to high schools across the country as I truly believe that it will be a very good thing for other young people to know.
Personally I found the workshop very helpful, first of all in simply motivating me to get out there and start looking into different ways to make money. By hearing stories of people like you, the idea of becoming an entrepreneur doesn't seem so far fetched and alien as it does for many people that have not yet been so closely exposed to experiences such as this. Specifically understanding how to find an avenue that will suit myself by analysing businesses of similar nature that I have seen/ interacted with was very interesting. I found by looking at different businesses that I see on a daily basis, I can find avenues of entrepreneurship that appeal to me and that I can see myself taking. Overall, the workshop was very interesting and very helpful in setting me on the right path towards becoming an entrepreneur.

This genuinely activated me and it helped me think about what's ahead in a new way - which is huge! It felt like a circuit breaker for my brain in the best possible way. The emojis, songs, fashion, colours really resonated me as my brain loves to process things thrugh fun and whimsy. When learning feels playful, I engage so much more deeply. You helped us focus whilst feeling expansive. It sparked something in me and I really see how powerful this class will be for people.

How bloody cool was that! You are such a natural and I feel that was just the tip of the iceberg of what you are destined to teach people. Each activation propelled me forward and I discovered something new about myself.

This class is brilliant and we need this idea to spread to the whole damn world. Your energy is contagious and you will fill an auditorium one day. Like Mel Robbins you give simple tools to activate your inner Goddess. I am activated!

Tara's Creative Activation session was an awakening of the energy I knew I needed to access and bring to life. The abundance of different activations within the session allowed me to tap into so many areas of passion and creativity. It was so much fun with a lot of depth, meaning and personal reflection. Sharing in the follow up session was a joy, having the support of beautiful, likeminded humans and being able to reflect that support back is magical. (as is Tara!)

I had the most amazing experience with Tara during our creative activation session! She fostered the most supportive, intuitive space where I was able to reconnect with my creativity in a way that didn’t feel forced or overwhelming. The session has really helped me step into a new season of growth, leaving me feeling genuinely excited about what I’m creating in my life. It feels like a little spark that I had lost is back and stronger than ever! I couldn’t recommend this experience more if you’re searching for something truly creatively energising.

Thank you Tara for encouraging and facilitating me to reactivate during your workshop. Too often daily life admin pulls me away from prioritising my personal ,creative, soul -driven purpose. This workshop offered powerful questions and simple rituals that reminded me how important it is to stay connected to myself and to the movement of where I actually sit in my journey. It also helped me to see how I can weave my own personal signature into the way I approach my business. I’m really looking forward to the accountability session where we begin sharing and receiving feedback. Tara, you have a beautiful way of empowering others while gently reminding them of the power they already hold within. If you’re feeling at a crossroads, moving through a transition, or no longer feeling aligned with an old version of yourself, this activation masterclass is the perfect place to begin.

I’ve never met someone with so much passion for other peoples dreams! Tara has the rare ability both to inspire big ideas and to spark the change required to bring them to life. Her activation gave me the space and energy I needed to truly reflect, play and get excited about my path. If you’re like me and can see the fork in the road up ahead, Tara’s insightful reflections and probing questions will give you the clarity you need to take your next step with confidence and joy.

I felt alive and inspired after attending Tara's Creative Activation masterclass. I am aMum to two small children and I haven't had that much time to focus on what makes me feel alive creatively and also just in my every day life. I walked away with motivation and inspiration to dress in a more powerful way, connect with my joy and creativity in unique ways moving forward. I also felt like it was a great chance to reflect on what I want to let go of and bring into my life in the next 12 months.
