While on lockdown..

Get to spend time with family.
Get to know your team members and invest in them during this times.
Put out content that can help people.
Work with influencers and build a community of customers on social media.
Work on building your categories: consumables, health and wellness.
Stay up to date with all the information and look back at the recession from 2007.
Look at financial instruments being offered.
- Maintain your payroll and protect your cash-flow.
- There are opinions that it will be a V- shaped recession, where it will be easier to bounce back.
Prepare for Q4.
Study and connect with people.
Focus on things that will help you return.
Improve yourself for 10, 15 or 20 minutes.
TURN OFF NETFLIX!

Get out of the funk!

Wake up and don’t get stuck scrolling.
One tiny success will move your day.
Change little things.
Have core goals set up and create accountability with or among your friends.
Not accomplishing anything builds up to procrastination.
Procrastination makes us feel bad about ourselves.
Read one page and get anything accomplished — take small bites.
Be fearless! Stand up on your own two feet and be fearless.
What did you do great today and what did you fail at.
- Everything you do does not have to be right (or perfect). It is what you do to make yourself better.

Time management and Education During Lockdown

Compartmentalize your time.
- Spend time with your kids and focus on your family.
This is a precious time that might never happen again so don’t prioritize education — it comes in different forms.
Teach your children life skills or business skills.
Balance your kids day.
Whatever approach you take with education, it begins at home.
Teach them how to learn things and learn fast.
Understand how your children’s learn.
Teach your children how to run their business.
Let your kids discover their passion!

How our kids can recession-proof their life

Get them on Amazon early. Teach them business skills.
Show your kids that life is limitless.
Teach them to give back and how to get back up.
Teach them how to bounce back up emotionally.
Teach your kids resilience!
Practice gratitude.

What people should be doing right know

Find out what your customers want and deep dive on your business.
Have a positive mindset.
Reach out to other people.
Use available data and focus on historical data because the current data is skewed.
This is the time to go all in on your branding.
- Update your wordings and make it more friendly and emotional.
- The same with images.
- Create a brand story– the customer is the hero of the story!
