A chance to evolve & adapt

 We have a new normal and we have to face that things have changed and evolved and that business won't be the same again.

This is a positive. This is our chance to evolve and adapt. What worked before, may not work with our new reality.

Here are a few things that I have been learning through webinars this week:

• Focus- stop the distractions that are keeping you in negative head space or is blocking your creativity.  Turn off the news, unfollow people or pages that are promoting negativity.  Surround yourself with people that build into you and support you.  
• Connect- with your customers or clients in real ways.  If you are at home, show them what you are doing, playing a board game with your family? Using your products around the house?  Providing services online?  Researching new products?  Ask what people would like to see in your store when you reopen.  Keep in contact - communication is key!
• Share- how can you share with your community?  How can you give back?
• Build- this is the time to build into yourself, your business, and your community.
• Prepare- get ready for when you are able to relaunch your business.  What do you want it to look like?  What do you need to do now to make that happen?
