This episode was originally broadcast in March 2020 but I wanted to share it again because so much of it is just as relevant this year. We are facing uncertainty with huge shifts happening that we cannot control. But that doesn’t mean this year will be bad for your business - and it’s actually a really key time for developing your mindset and training ourselves to see opportunities. 

For me, relistening to this episode has also been a powerful reminder that we got through 2020 with all its challenges, so we know we will also get through 2025.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The impact your mindset will have on your business and your day-to-day experience, and how to take control of that.
• How to move past fear and disbelief and into acceptance and planning.
• How staying calm and looking for opportunities will help your business survive (and even thrive).
• The importance of staying connected with others.
• But not too connected (especially to social media).

There’s disruption, chaos, and fear around us, but we do have the capacity to respond, adjust and move on.

If you’re worried about how your consulting business is going to adapt to the current situation, please get in touch and let’s discuss how I can help.

Quotes:

“There will always be things that are unknown, things that we can't control, and we will always need to be ready to make changes in a business to accommodate the external factors that we can't control. This is a core strength in a business to be able to adapt to changing market conditions, and it's important that we don't let current events, whatever scenarios might be playing out, scare us and stop us in our tracks.”

“So often when we have that feeling of overwhelm, we attribute it to the wrong things and we see what we expect to see. If you're looking for chaos, you will find it. But we need to shift our mindset so that we're able to see the opportunities that are opening up right now.”

“It's so tempting to sit and complain and do exactly nothing that will help. But businesses that survive are the ones that face the reality. Ask the difficult questions and make a plan to mitigate the impact of the issues you're up against.”
