I love a good apocalyptic film – correction – I even like the bad ones!!
I hate the gory bits, where instead of the Covid-19 virus, it’s flesh eating zombies coming to harm us, or a Robot from the next Century, but what I do love is seeing how ordinary people, like you and I, cope with whatever is thrown at them.
Worldwide pandemic, mass unemployment, billions self isolating, panic buying, some healthcare services in doomsday scenarios.
We are all in that “movie” now – so how are we coping?
Can we be the superhero, the Rick Grimes (Walking Dead) or the Sarah Connor (Terminator) for our business?
Here is how I am becoming my own Superhero:-
- Checking in with my really great team to keep them together and motivated while working remotely. It’s lonely working on your own so we have found some fun ways to stay connected. Check out our Twitter feed @FuzionComms to see for yourself,
- Make decisions not based on emotions but on what’s good in the long run for the business, the team and the clients
- Take solid (fighting) advice from people I trust, both colleagues and other business leaders
- Constantly check in with my clients – I want to be there to fight in their corner – so we walk towards the dawn together when the nightmare/film is over
- Look for Opportunities for Fuzion and for our clients – it’s a great time for taking a fresh look at business, how we do business and how we tell our story
- Check in on my friends and family – let them know I love them and I’m there for them – even if I can’t hug them in person
- Stay healthy, happy and safe – so I can be strong and fit for whatever curve-ball the “script” throws at me
If you are a business owner, feeling on your own with things, you need to put on your gloves and come out fighting and be your own Superhero.
If you need help, call me, I’ll be in your corner 🙂
