Hi 

 

At the weekend we had a Skype call with my parents 

 

Something that we’ve only really been doing since this whole sorry mess begun 

 

Luckily my brother is with them during lockdown and is able to deal with the technology! 

 

During the call my mum - who looks after all the money stuff since dad was diagnosed with dementia a year or so ago - mentioned something I hadn’t really considered before ….

 

That their investments - stocks shares and pensions - have basically dive bombed in value since lockdown began.

 

We all know that we are now in what promises to be the worst recession since the infamous 30’s 

 

Experts are already predicting that it’ll be at least a decade before any signs of recovery are seen 

 

And that’s if we can ease out of lockdown reasonably soon.

 

So mum asked me if I thought it would be better to cash in now before things get worse and they have to watch all those years of saving, investing and future proofing vanish into thin air

 

Or just wait and see what happens 

 

I wish I had the answer - but I don’t 

 

Realistically they’ll probably be OK - the mortgage was paid off decades ago, they both have good pension incomes and savings 

 

They are n their 80’s so its realistically too late for them to start learning new skills - even if dad could

 

But for the many people who are not in that situation - are nowhere near retirement and might be facing a very uncertain future 

 

The question is How long do you wait?

 

To learn new skills

 

To pivot into the only economy that’s thriving - the digital economy

 

To start leveraging the power of online real estate, proven internet business models and a world where working from home and running online businesses is the norm 

 

Make no mistake, thousands of people are already looking at this. My Youtube subscriptions, enquiries, affiliate sales and website traffic are all going up steadily 

 

Thats because people are spending much more time online that ever before.

 

Not only to communicate with loved ones and work colleagues 

 

Not only to buy goods and services that have closed their doors 

 

Not only to maintain social distancing and stay safe 

 

But to educate their children and themselves and to look at new ways of working and earning income from home.

 

My mentors, business partners and friends at SFM and DEA have really stepped up during all this 

 

By making access to their training, mentorship, business systems and affiliate partnerships 

 

Easier and more accessible than ever 

 

I discovered them when I was laid off during the last recession and had to learn how to pivot into a completely different way of making my living 

 

I had to make a tough choice back then 

 

Did I hang on to my dwindling savings and hope that something came along - unlikely as I was 47 and part of an industry decimated by cut backs, redundancies and austerity

 

Or did I invest some of them in myself 

 

I chose the latter and I will be forever grateful that I did - never more so than right now 

 

So as the full extent of this global crisis continues to unfold (and we are only seeing tip of that iceberg right now) 

 

Its just common sense to start making smart plans right now
