Corona Rules; It's a new set of rules

It is starting all over again. Ground zero. 

It’s a new space, new set of rules.

The comforting thoughts of repeated business and momentum are replaced with the fear of close contact.  Our referral and business streams are at a halt, momentum has been kicked at the knees.  

Rip up the business plans, throw away the growth plan, kill the budgets.  The hardest part is letting go of what you learned to get here, because we are in a new game, a new set of rules, cast upon us in a few short weeks

It's time to rethink your day, re-write your business, and re-identify your brand.

Every phone call should create new opportunities. Answer it quick.  Every handshake (when we are allowed) is a chance to provide solutions, listen deep.  Every success is to be celebrated, multiply it by 10. 

Starting now, our lives have changed. 

When this all comes back, we cannot be the same. 

No complaints are heard at the airport when we take off our shoes.  Next year no one will complain how they must wash their hands first coming into your business. 

There is good news.  You have a choice. 


You can choose to steward your business back, you can choose to build your brand through the new set of rules and expectations, and you can choose to let go of yesterday’s thoughts in today’s new space.

Genie in the bottle

Image
The Genie in the bottle is out.   She broke the bottle and released a flood of ideas (and problems, disruptions) to the market.  These cells of disruption had been cooped up and percolating in a bottle of perceived limitations. We don’t have to look further than our “What if” thoughts of the past to see where they came from. Humanly speaking, we have a large appetite for curiousness.  It makes sense then that we spend a lifetime to explore, think, write down, and sometimes (or not) take action on “what if” ideas.  Ideas morph daily for most of us, some ideas are repeated, some ideas are just fleeting thoughts that escape our memory grasp simply by never writing them down. Like your brand, a bottle of “what if” ideas are precious and unique, like the millions of cells in our body.  If written and stored, they are forever preserved for the moment to release them, at which point (like most cells) will multiply and divide.   Ready or not,...

Choosing regret

Image
When a choice is made to live in regret, the world never seems fair.   2020 has given us plenty of opportunity for regret.  Raw and emotional decisions on safety, health, and welfare affected every business and are common conne ctions to us all that for what seems certain, no one got it all right (and maybe no one can).  Some business es stayed open, some closed.  Some leaders chose furlough, some fired.  Plastic makers shifted to make retail shields, underwear makers turned upside down made gaiters and m asks. Everyone is making hard decisions. Decisions we later learn were right, some w rong, learning moments of personal and professional growth.    When we choose to accept regret, conversations with others start with “wou ld of, could of, and should of” give us easy reason to bitch and complain, stealing energy that could be planning for our best day, our best leader.     The choice to say “I was wrong, move on”, cost nothing and frees your...

Dig in to dig out

An addict’s head gets filled with negative dark thoughts, often not knowing how to permit replacement of the dark with some positives.  The bottom falls out, they need help.  Maybe it’s the same for most others. It’s not hard to see the news feeds of today are filled with bad news.  The bottom fell out of the good news industry about the time a Wuhan doctor sounded alerts. Today, the networks 2019 abundance of optimistic stories are replaced by competing channels filled with doomsday documentaries, one of higher shock value than the next. Today, it may make you wonder how any story of hope can ever make its way through the news editors crowded desktop filled with shock of society demise. What are we doing in our attempts to find the good news once again?  Maybe it’s up to you to find the good again; the positive news on your crowded desktop of bad.  Some say small wins. By the average eye, small wins come and go, without recognition or celebrat...
