Hi Friend,
At this point, most everything than can be said about flattening the curve and keeping others safe has been. So today, we wanted to shift the focus to your business.
We're sharing with you ways to lead and how to pursue your dreams even when the world is upside down. Additionally, we've included two pieces we've published recently on helping others and staying sane during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Importance of Leadership During COVID-19
Marty Zwilling, our firm's Chief Knowledge Officer and the Founder & CEO of Startup Professionals, could not have known about COVID-19 back in May 2019 when he wrote an excellent article, 9 Tips to Stay an Effective Leader. Yet, each of those tips might be even more important today.

Don't Let COVID-19 Destroy Your Dream
Like everyone these days, we have been thinking about and living through COVID-19. We recently published a piece on how to stay sane during the age of COVID-19. There was just one missing suggestion: don't let this virus destroy your dream. No matter what your dream is, it occurred to us that, as we live through and cope with this dreadful pandemic, now might be the perfect time to plan for your dream. Here are ways to keep your dream alive or maybe even finally start pursuing it.

Helping Others Survive COVID-19
As we publish this piece, more US states are directing their people to stay isolated at home to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Schools are closed, workers have been furloughed, and healthcare workers' concerns about having personal protective equipment to keep themselves and others safe is rising.
While our world is in a state of flux, people's financial and emotional well-being are at risk. If you are looking to help those around you, here are ways you can help others.

Staying Sane in the Age of COVID-19
In a few short weeks, our lives went from relatively normal to mostly upside down, and I'd like to extend my deepest sympathy to those personally affected in any way.
By now, you've received three dozen emails from companies describing what they are doing to keep their employees and customers safe. I'm not going to do that because you already know what we should all be doing: Work from home if you can, practice "social distancing," cough into your elbow, wash hands thoroughly, and don't touch your face.
Instead, I wanted to share some ideas for how entrepreneurs can stay sane and productive while spending most of our time isolated at home.
