One last tip from entrepreneurs as we head into what promises to be a different holiday experience:
FLEXIBILITY—Entrepreneurs often need to multitask, especially when first starting a business. Consider all the gyms, bars, and other businesses that were forced to close and then implement ever-evolving safety protocols. Keep your schedule—and your thinking—flexible so you can continue to grow in challenging situations.

Day 5 of lessons we can learn from entrepreneurs in these challenging times:
VERSATILITY--The workforce is constantly changing, and you have to be able to adapt. Use this time to tackle work that is outside your job description, become an early adopter of technology, and keep your skills up to date.

Day 4 of lessons we can learn from entrepreneurs to help cope with Covid:
WILLINGNESS TO WORK HARD--In order to succeed, entrepreneurs must work long hours—often for little or no pay when they are first launching their business. Establish a strong work ethic that will help you achieve your post-Covid goals.

Day 3 of Entrepreneurial advice for surviving Covid: CONFIDENCE/TENACITY—Successful entrepreneurs can survive setbacks because they have confidence in themselves and in their business. According to Yelp, Covid-19 caused more than 163,000 businesses to close as of the end of August. However, the desire to become one’s own boss still appears to be strong. Forbes magazine reports that 543,000 small businesses are still setting up shop in the US each month, and 24 million Americans aspire to become self-employed by 2021. Do not give up if you are furloughed or laid off. Stay positive and focused on the future.

Day 2 of lessons we can learn from entrepreneurs to help us cope with Covid stress:
PASSION/MOTIVATION--To succeed, entrepreneurs must love what they are doing. Think about the things you love to do, then use this time to make plans and save the money you need to make your vision a reality.

November, 2020 is National Entrepreneurship Month in the U.S. I've been thinking a lot about the entrepreneurial mindset over the past few days, and I've come up with a few ways it can help all of us cope with our Covid anxieties.

Today, let's talk about VISION. Entrepreneurs use their ability to see the big picture to define the culture and identity of their organizations. If you suffer from Covid fatigue, remember that we are on the verge of a game-changing vaccine. To brighten your mood, focus on a time when you can travel freely, hug your loved ones, and have dinner with friends. Hang in there, my friends. Mark, Farley and I are sending lots of positive energy your way!
