Thanks to all of you who signed up for the brainstorming sessions that I offered last week. I had a blast helping you all come up with new ideas and strategies for your businesses — and I’m happy to see that most of you have put those strategies to work right away.
One brainstorming session I did, was with a woman who had to close her store last week. She did not choose to close her shop, but her store and all of the stores around her were told they had to close due to COVID-19.
12 Things Small Business Owners & Consultants Can Do Right Now Amid The Coronavirus Crisis
