How to Thrive in Tough Times

14 quick lessons, based on the actions of successful small business owners I work with:

TO SURVIVE NOW

Banish doom and gloom

Keep your customers

Ask “Who’s buying?”

Go for cash flow

Don’t take unprofitable work

Watch your money like a hawk.

Collect money faster

Don’t keep unnecessary labor, but sustain your team

TO THRIVE LATER

Take care of yourself

Don’t stop paying yourself

Focus on running your business

Envision your recovery

Seek new opportunities

Ready your recovery fund

Inspire your team

Snap up resources
