Ever wake up on morning at 2:40am and realize you have yet to go to sleep?
Oh wait, that’s me.
Let’s try this again.
Ever wake up one morning during the time of the Corona virus pandemic and run screaming to the hills saying, the sky is falling the sky is falling?
If so, you’re probably not the only person doing that.
But! I’m not concentrating this article on *you*.
I’m instead focusing it upon the people and businesses you *interact* with.
Say, oh, like, gee, I don’t know…
Your workplace.
Your next conference event.
Your local gym.
Your state colleges/universities/etc who have just canceled Spring courses.
In other words, the rest of your entire life.
What are *they* doing?
Are *their* actions… preventing *you* from doing *your* actions (like, gee, I don’t know… doing your job, making money online and supporting your family)?
Chances are that’s great big huge YES indeed!
Well, I just came across one of the most bestest articles about that (business-wise that is… and be sure to return here after reading for some more excellent ideas) over at:
businessesgrow.com/2020/03/10/coronavirus/
Right from the getgo, you know its good:
“Many years ago, I was an executive in a Fortune 100 company and my team received some devastating news. I mean it was the WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO.
My employees were scattered around the globe. I gathered them together for a conference call, delivered the news, and told them they had 24 hours to be angry and then we were getting back down to work. We would overcome.
This has been my approach to business throughout my career. You have to embrace the chaos. There is always going to be chaos. How you handle it … this is your defining moment.
This coronavirus crap is pissing me off. Almost all of my business is canceling, including the college classes I teach. So. Shit.
But my 24 hours of being angry are over. It’s time to embrace this chaos. It’s time for YOU to embrace the chaos, too. It’s clobberin’ time.
I am forecasting that for the next few months, I’m going to have lot of time on my hands. Here are 25 ways I’m fighting back and using this chaos as an opportunity….”
and some of the opportunities he mentions are smart indeed! They include:
Re-frame my website, especially my speaking pages.
Spend more time mentoring young professionals and encourage them through this rough time.
Write some amazing new blog posts with this free time.
Use social media every day to give people hope.
Improve the entertainment value of my Marketing Companion podcast.
Dive into my website analytics. I never have time for that.
and sooo many other good ideas (25 of ’em!).
The idea of turning on a dime and ensuring you are *still* able to provide for your family during this time would make a truly superb product/blueprint/tutorial/blog post. You could structure it like so:
Step 1.) Make sure you have a blog and a topic that people always want to learn more about (aka evergreen content)
Step 2.) Learn how to create an authority reputation within 24 hours
Step 3.) Monetize your blog and embrace this temporary measure into providing a sound and stable basis for your future!

Your takeaway?
The corona virus is NOT the end of the world (especially if you’re not infected!). Take advantage of the current lull in your business life and work on building up a supplemental/stable income today… your future profits will thank you for it.
Enjoy!
