From the point of view of every man, now the world is going crazy and crumbling in front of our eyes.
There is nothing worse for a person than obscurity and uncertainty … When you don’t know what will happen tomorrow (in fact, we never knew this but just now we have clearly seen this). When there is nowhere to run (because everywhere +/- the same thing). When there is no past experience to rely on. When the earth leaves under the feet, and in my head rotates the same question : what is happening? …
A big reboot occurs.
You can fiercely resisted to it, or you can just go through it with the planet. The future cannot be predicted. But to see where the wind really blows … ⠀
Every day I wake up in the moment with a strange feeling. It’s not fear, but maybe understanding that the situation that is happening right now should happen long time ago. Everyone was expecting some global crisis, the end of the world without some understanding what and exactly it will happen. I don’t want to say that this is better than a global war, but it gives you time to stop and think about the most important in your life and things /people we often don’t appreciate enough. How many people you know that live next to the beach and don’t have time / wish to go there? How many times did you go out in the nature without your smart phone, laptop, even cigarettes…? Take this as a great opportunity to do all what you always schedule for later, to be with closest for you people, to smell the grass… The smell is so fresh and sweet better than every perfume in the world, but you start to notice and appreciate something / someone only when you loose it…
The hysteria of consumption has brought us to the edge. Things, things, even more things. Things that are not needed. Things we’ll throw away tomorrow. Things for the sake of production and disposal of which we lose clean air, water, earth. Even a couple of months of production decline, canceled flights and closed borders and the planet breathed easier. Yes, it’s not convenient for us. But still, let us rejoice for our Mother Earth. She worked hard for us and definitely deserved a respite. ⠀
We are mired in the net. Dissolved in our gadgets. Drowned in cyber space. It became a habit to sms with a friend whom I could meet for coffee. The norm was couples sitting opposite each other, each buried in his iPhone. Digital dependency peaked. How to defeat it? Taking away live communication. When the world says: sit in your social networks to a dime, communicate in instant messengers and only instant messengers, nothing else shines for you now, you start to dream of live meetings! About human communication eye to eye!
Soon we will want to stop posting the story of the forest / sea / streets and just want to walk around these places soaking them with every pore of the skin … we will start to feel again, we will want to communicate again! ⠀
The truth will come out. We can’t lie yourself any longer . Left at home, locked with the closest people, you will understand how close they are to you? Have you connected your life with the right people? Left without “hated work” you will get precious time and freedom of creativity.
How do you use it?
Will you appreciate more the time with your family and children? Will you appreciate more the time that you have never had time to spend outside in the nature?
Do you remember your last time when you was walking on the sandy beach with your naked feet, feeling the sun over your head? What is the feeling of a warm, salty water when you get into the sea, the sand poring between your fingers? It’s amazing, isn’t it? The feeling of freedom and Summer, vacation days and something more that makes your soul feel alive. You try to run , but it is difficult. You want to do something crazy, something that makes you feel even more alive….
And what if you share this moment with someone that makes your heart warm and beating? Some romantic moments cannot be described, you can only feel and see them….
I like to feel like a small crazy child, doing everything what I want to do…. When was the last time when you climbed a tree or used a swing? When was the last time when you jumped a rope or painted the asphalt? Now you have time for all this and if you are too ashamed to do something crazy, you can always pretend doing it with/because of your child 😉
You will see, that you can always browse each moment of your life from the bad or best side (like now) , to see problems or opportunities. If you have never had troubles and problems, how you can appreciate the best moments in your live?
Use the moment now and do something crazy, even in your house, with your children or the loved ones, give the best of yourselves and remember these moments forever….
Will you finally start writing a novel / learning Japanese / squat / make your dream come true! To do what “oh, I would like that, but I can’t/ don’t have time because of my work.”
A great equation or even shuffling the deck will occur. In the face of the virus, everyone is equal: both the president and the worker. A poor student may not even notice that he was sick. A billionaire may die despite the best medical assistance. A grandfather from some small village, who has never taken the subway and raised potatoes all his life, may find himself in greater comfort and more safety than a Wall Street broker, whose apartment costs more than the entire village.
We are honored to be witnesses and participants in history. How this story ends will also depend on us! It’s time to love yourself, the people, the world! It’s time to accept life as it is, even if we do not always like it. It’s time to hear the voice of the Earth and trust it.
“Problems are hidden opportunities! The problem is which side we look at the problem. ” Bodo Schaefer
The Crisis can be your opportunity!
The recession in the market is a great advantage not only for startups. Existing companies during the crisis can also make a significant leap that will change their future. It was during the depressions of past eras that such companies arose, the brands of which every schoolchild today knows. Behind the many risks associated with the negative consequences of the crisis lies one very significant danger. It lies in the fact that for the negative and negative sides of the crisis, for all risks and threats, for all kinds of problems and dangers, we may not notice its positive sides and advantages of this situation, opportunities and prospects, emerging chances and new horizons for us to develop business.
Every crisis is a serious test for entrepreneurs. Now many business owners are forced to look for new ways to raise funds in order to maintain their business. But the crisis also opens up new opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses. And it doesn’t just use it for its own benefit, but turns into one of the key drivers for the revival of the country’s economy. The crisis plays the role of a kind of “forest orderly”, cleansing the market of companies that do not have sufficient flexibility, do not have solid domestic reserves. Enterprises whose owners are not ready for extraordinary actions to save their business fall into this category.
Are you ready for the opportunities?
Releasing people from work – like surgical methods for illness – it seems that relief will come right away, but often the most “interesting” is just beginning. The situation of an external crisis creates an internal state of crisis – within organizations and in people’s hearts. And in the case of a staff reduction project, the success of this project may be in question. Since during the game of silence and the gradual implementation of this project in two or three waves, which some companies took a year or more, the infection process has already begun. After the liquidation of the planned reserves, all those remaining are already infected with fear and anxiety.
What actions should you take?
Of course, innovative, because the situation is completely new. What will help? Flexibility, creativity, readiness for new opportunities and changes. Just all of the above is often missing in many organizations. The Energy does not arise from nothing and does not disappear without a trace. In the crisis, nothing disappears, there is a redistribution of everything – money, customers, opportunities. From someone departed, to someone arrived. Most companies in adverse economic conditions reduce their marketing budgets in order to save their money/ to survive, refuse to participate in projects or spend money on advertisement. The same time other companies are using the crisis as an option to increase their business and increase their sales taking market shares from smaller companies/competitors. And usually the risk brings results.
How to be flexible in a crisis and turn social networks into an inexhaustible source of customers?
A crisis is a time when the purchasing power of a population changes. Some companies go bankrupt and cease to exist, and new ones come in their place. In order to start your own business during a crisis, you need to understand what goods and services will be in great demand. You need to be flexible and open “the doors of you shop” online or digitally to bring more income. Of course you need to put some effort, create a website if it is necessary, do some automation and new logistics, but the result will be visible very soon.
How to use Social media and advertisement for successful business?
Successful Social Media Sales Cycle
The correct operation in social networks ultimately boils down to a specific algorithm of actions. Perform each step in turn to reach the desired goal:
- Target Audience – Track the preferences, behavior and requirements of potential customers. Based on the knowledge gained, build a positive brand reputation in social networks.
- Building relationships with the audience – Generate valuable and useful content to attract the attention of potential customers and increase loyalty to your company.
- Increase in popularity – Find popular brands and opinion leaders on your topic in the selected social network. Make contact and start mutually beneficial cooperation.
- Sale online – Generate leads (potential customers), turn them into real buyers and fans of the brand.
A profitable strategy for attracting customers through social networks
Selling forehead has not worked for a long time, when it comes to expensive (above $ 100) products in competitive niches. Before making a specific proposal, you need to “warm up” the potential customer’s interest in the brand itself and its products. For this, a special sales funnel is used. By the way, it can be automated.
