Message from the CEO!

The world is still evolving, and things are still uncertain. However, do not let the chaos and madness around you deter you from reaching your goals. Plans may change and things will require you to be flexible, but keeping a clear mindset is key. Thus, you are having to do something that was constantly told to me throughout my life, "adapt, improvise, and overcome!"  
 
As the CEO of this firm, I have also been in the same boat as many other small business owners throughout this pandemic. How do you "adapt, improvise, and overcome" under so many restrictions and changes? You must adapt to the new way of life and business. Thus, you  

• start looking over your internal systems, and develop efficient systems for financial organization and management; 

• review your financials to see exactly what are your revenue sources and identify expenses and what can be cut; 

• develop new strategies for reaching your target audience and market, and most importantly; 

• take it one day at a time. Each day is an opportunity and a gift for you to be presently productive! 

Next, you improvise. Most of us have never lived during a pandemic, let alone, tried to operate a business during one. So everything you may try to implement while adapting you may have to change spontaneously and several times. That is improvising. I know for my firm, there has been a lot of improvising. Sometimes it happened during consultations because we were trying to meet the needs of clients on the spot. When improvising you tend to not have time to prepare. You just know you HAVE TO ACT in order to make something happen.   
 
Now, the adapting and improvising is tiring. It seems to be nonstop. It becomes quite taxing as you are trying to keep the business afloat and at the same time maintain yourself and your personal responsibilities. How do you keep going? How do you maintain the will to continue and overcome?  

• You have to establish boundaries within your business and personally.  

• You need to set a schedule for yourself, but have the willingness to be flexible.  

• You must conduct business assessments. Identify trends and habits, including income and spending, to ultimately help future decision making and profitability.  

• You must acknowledge, determine, and accept when it is time to seek guidance and ask for help. This is not a sign of weakness or failure. In fact, it is a clear sign of humility, strength, and determination.  

• You must take time for self-care. Take the time to check-in with yourself. Show yourself and others grace as no one is perfect. 

However, what's most important is you must shift your mindset and perspective. Speak life, prosperity, and strong existence over your business and life. Shift your perspective so you are stimulating development and reaching beyond numbers (the money). So faint not, but continue to adapt, improvise, and overcome!
