Survival economically is now our number one issue.

Survival economically after widespread business destruction.

Most of your feelings towards a crisis and future success were defined since birth, established by your family, teachers, friends, the media, and your work colleagues, and the many life experiences you have had. However, survival economically following the COVID-19 pandemic is a whole new ball game for everyone, not to mention droughts, floods, fires, and other destructive events.

You are now facing new circumstances with job losses and business failures. No one alive has ever experienced such devastation. Your experiences do not equip you to deal with the destruction caused by the COVID-19 virus. For starters, be well and stay safe, which is critical to survival economically.

Your subconscious mind is now impacting your responses. Your views and ability to create successful strategies and actions are proving extremely difficult. Solving your problems and making decisions in extreme situations was never part of your training, and it’s starting to show.

Economic survival will require a shift in attitudes.

The Australian government has poured hundreds of billions into the economy, leaving business owners especially vulnerable to economic fallout.

The Spanish Flu pandemic 1919 has recently been discussed as Australians digest the crisis. Twenty million people were lost after the Great War. Victims of an influenza strain spread worldwide by servicemen and women returned to their homelands. There were about 15,000 Australian fatalities in 1919 in a population of 5 million. This is equivalent to about 75,000 deaths in a population of 25 million today.

Many of the containment measures instituted in 1919 will now become familiar. Football matches and church services were cancelled. The Government limited gatherings of people in homes and facilities. Carriers were isolated in small tents on football ovals and parks because hospital beds were unavailable.

Consider asking hard questions about surviving economically.

We must start rebuilding economic muscle by removing the red and green tape. We must focus our attention on entrepreneurial attributes and become more financially savvy.

Key Message: The big question is, do you know and understand the beliefs and knowledge implanted in you? Are they appropriate to help you stay calm, survive and thrive in the destruction with entrepreneurial flair?
