  • Be very careful with your cash, renegotiate your rents, and consider the cost of your headcount.
  • This thing is going to be here for a while; we’re not going to have vibrant economic activity anytime soon. So you have to think long term in terms of preserving your resources.
  • Use the limited resources that you have, in a way that’s economical for you. This will help others and also help your long term survival.
  • Think creatively; you might be able to build value in your enterprise. But remember to be very careful with your scarce resources.

  • During this COVID-19 crisis, realize that there are things you can control and influence, and things you can neither control nor influence. Most people dwell on the things that they can neither control nor influence.
  • Focus on your community and on the things that you can control, like, getting better at the things that you do. Even if your job is gone, your skills are not gone, you’re still the same person that you were before.
  • Spend time not only growing yourself but also growing your community or keeping the people around you safe. Such are some of the things that you can control and influence.

  • You now have more time to do the things that you want to do, whether it’s writing a book, or working on something in your business that you’ve had to put on hold recently.
  • Stay connected with your team. This is a great chance to show your team that you are there for them, and you will see how your business will bounce back with an even stronger team before the pandemic.
  • Adversity breeds resilience. It’s during these tough times that we have to rise to the challenge to develop our offerings and grow.
  • As a business owner, make sure every day you are working towards capitalizing on the opportunities available and continue to serve your clients.
