In a twinkling of a eye, the economy of America suffered a devastating loss. Industries that have waxed rich for several decades like the airlines, hospitality, automotive, and retail have been annihilated by a pestilence called Co-Vid 19. There will never be a so-called time where we can say the word “normal ” again. The world as we knew it had transformed from conventional to uncertain, and unpredictable. Children would no longer attend a physical classroom at a school building. The office space in downtowns across the country from New York City to Los Angeles were vacated. Broadway, Disney World, hotels, restaurants, airports, bus stations, train stations, bars and on and on.
The first casualty of a deadly virus that supposedly started in Wuhan, China and later meandered in to the United States was of course its “health” effects. Some countries fared better than others in terms of preparedness and how well the virus could be contained. Well since I live in the U.S. I can say our government did not handle the crisis well. For sure I am not telling you anything that you don’t know. Volumes will be written about the pandemic, and the year 2020.
The engine of a functioning society is “economics”. The world economically morphed from a brick and mortar industrial manufacturing model to an automated digitalization model driven by the internet and a Zoom, Cisco Web Ex explosion. Yesterday, today economically would no longer prove suitable. The businesses that would survive and possibly thrive are those who have the ability to adapt, adjust, and improvise.
I am a professional network marketer who own and sell Home-Based Businesses. Many of us never thought there would come a day where working from home would be one of the most popular occupations in America and around the world. Think about it , when you work from home you don’t risk your health as much as those who don’t have the option to stay home. With the advent of video conferencing and virtual communication look at the money saved on gas for your car, tolls, eating out which is a whole lot more than eating at home. Of course anything of value in life has a difficulty factor attached to it, and owning your Home-Based business is no exception. Due to an industry that is either misunderstood or not viewed as credible there are obstacles that present a challenge . However for the basic low-overhead to get started, and the high upside of financial paydays that an average job wage can’t see.
We may never be able to say our society is “normal” again. But what we could say is that as long as we have breath to breathe we can work it out! If it is to be , it is up to me! If it is up to you, what are you going to do? Where there is a will, there is a way. Have a nice day !
