An Important Reminder for Entrepreneurs

This won't be a long post, but it is an important one.

At this point, we are over 4 months into the Wuhan Coronavirus being unleashed on the world.  Every aspect of life has been impacted and in many cases turned upside down.  A lot of people when this first began, thought that it would come and go rather quickly and things would go back to normal. 

I hoped for that, but at the same time I sat back and mentally prepared.  I asked myself, what I would do if this went on for 6 months, a year, 2 years, etc?  What if things never got back to being the same and in the midst of it all, the world changed, the way business is done changed - basically, what if everything got turned upside down?  Would I be able to handle it?  Would I be able to adapt?  What would I need to do and prepare myself and my businesses to do?

You may have asked some of the same questions.  And as we get into the 5th month of lockdowns, business shutdowns, riots, and general unease throughout the world, it is most important to remember one thing.

Stay Strong!

I see a lot of people beginning to crack or even break under the pressure, fear, uncertainty, and changes to their lives and businesses.  As entrepreneurs, we must lead the way.  Change and dealing with problems and and challenges are our every day lives.  And yes, now we are throwing in the virus and all this other stuff - but we must remain and stand strong.  We must prepare for things to go longer and be worse than we ever thought and at the same time, power through it.  

Entrepreneurs were made for these times and we are the ones who will help pull the world out of it.  We will do it with our will, our faith, our spirit, and never give up attitude.  I just wanted to remind you of this.  Stay strong, endure, and keep pushing.  These times will eventually fade to different and better ones - just be prepared to keep going until those times come.
