Hi
We had one of our oldest friends over at the weekend for the first time in ages (obvious reasons)
As well as being a sought after session drummer he has a senior job in a specialist construction company. Construction as you know has been very badly impacted by lockdown
Our friend is confident he’ll be OK but
During lunch he got a text from one of his team who has been furloughed for 3 months.
He’d received a message from the company saying that his furlough payments were now finished
And unfortunately he was now redundant.
Sad to say stories like this are now common as are predictions that a second wave of Covid 19 could be on its way
Lets not go there…..
On a more positive note, my partner can go back to business on 24th August and has already booked in some of her “paused”pupils and a couple of new ones for driving lessons
But while waiting for that green light she has been building up a nice little sideline making lamps and selling them online
Because, as per the example above - she was never sure if that green light would actually come
So she wisely got started on her Plan B
Exactly as I did about 10 years ago when I was laid off. I didn’t have furlough payments but I did have the buffer a settlement package
And for both of us the Internet was the key to Plan B
It is flat out the best place to build your Plan B and the time to start is now
Ok so 10 years ago or March 2020 would have been better but the NEXT best time is now
Bank crises, pandemics, credit crunches - Internet based businesses have survived all of them.
They have actually thrived during them
So if the Internet is the key to Plan - what’s the key to the internet?
It’s not magic, push button, pie in the sky, golden goose juice nonsense
It’s education
Get it HERE - No catches, no silly tricks or hidden BS and no risk.
And be ready just in case you become one of those depressing statistics we keep hearing
Bests
Dave
