I don’t want to diminish your fear over an unknown future, but this is a really exciting time for innovation. If you’ve been considering doing something new, now is the time to test it out.

Web design

Check out some tutorials, roll up your sleeves, and step into the back end of your website. You’ll learn new skills while improving your own company’s marketing at the same time!

Branch out
Look for new ways to do the same thing. Some food tour companies are offering taster menus by mail(opens in a new tab). It’s a way for them to help keep their partners in business, reach some new people, and it’s something that they can keep going even after their live tours resume. It’s all about that passive income!
You can also look into virtual tours. I know, I know. Even I think we’ve over-suggested virtual tours. Still, they are a way to bring in money now and even into the future. If you’re thinking about it, check out a course on how to do them well(opens in a new tab) so you’re not wasting your time and effort.
Cheer up
What ridiculous advice. Things are hard right now! One thing to make them feel a little less hard is to follow Mr. Rogers’ advice and look for the helpers. Finding pieces of positive news each day will help you to feel better and make things a little more bearable. This is one thing you should definitely continue into the future. Here’s something from Arival(opens in a new tab) to get you started.
