Take Action: 3 Things To Do

  1. Be Cautious
    • As you think about the future of your business, be cautious. Go slow. We don’t have all the facts yet, so it’s premature to make big predictions about what our new normal will look like.

  1. Listen
    • There’s a temptation to say, “I know what I’ve got to do, I’ve got to move on!” and not stop and listen. Communities are making a comeback; take their input and listen to their advice.

  2. Remember.
    • Human beings are incredibly adaptive and resilient. We’ve lived through disruptions before. Our economies and our businesses will get through this.
