Do I Need To Stop My Business? (Special Edition) - a podcast by Alison J. Prince
from 2020-03-24T11:00:21
In this special episode, I’ll talk about all that’s going on in the world with the Coronavirus, the stock market tumbling, the earthquake in Utah, and all the horrible things that are happening globally. I’ll share how I was being overwhelmed by all those things and how I’ve been receiving messages from some of my students who are having second thoughts about starting their online businesses because they are terrified by the great uncertainties that are engulfing the world right now.
The way I dealt with it all was by taking a moment to remember where my focus is, what my vision is, and that God is my business partner. I remembered that my main aim is to teach people how to make money, and that’s when the weight of everything came off. None of us can control the Coronavirus, or the economy, or the stock market, but we can control ourselves and how we choose to go about things. Now, I’m only focusing on the things that I can change, and letting everything else melt away.
There’s a lot of doom and gloom being predicted for businesses but I will share real life stories of a number of my students who are doubling down on running their online businesses and making money because customers are still looking to buy the stuff they like. This is as good a time as any to get started on your online business or grow the one you’re already running by meeting your customers at the point of their needs. To learn the specifics of how you can do just that, you need to listen to this episode.
