In this interview, George will share what you should be doing right now in your Business during lockdown and how to come out of lockdown with the strongest possible version of your Business! CAN YOU TELL US THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS YOUR CLIENTS ARE COMING TO YOU WITH RIGHT NOW? The problems that people are coming to me with right now are cancelled jobs, worrying cashflow, losing clients, lack of enquiries...
Can you summarise the best support resources in this climate (e.g. seeing a coach, go to website, loans, grants, etc) Absolutely look into what you are eligible for by way of:
• Business rates grants • Coronavirus business interruption loans • Furlough scheme • Universal credits • Self-employment grafts • Bounce back loans In my opinion, every business owner should have an advisor, consultant or coach because simply put, “You cannot see the full picture when you’re in the frame” ~ Les Brown www.sophias-diary.com
Obviously it doesn’t have to be me lol, it’s important you have a connection with your business consultant and that you resonate with their values and admire their achievements. For me, no connection equals we’re not working together. I believe it’s also important to make it easy for people to do business with you and make it a ‘No Brainer’ which is why I offer a money back guarantee on my consultancy BUT you have to be 100% committed and implement everything! Otherwise don’t waste your time. There are lots of online resources, personally I’m a fan of going to the right business conferences and workshops for you specifically and working with someone in a coaching/consultancy capacity and/or in a mastermind group. GEORGE, CAN YOU GIVE US SOME TIPS ABOUT WHAT BUSINESSES SHOULD BE DOING RIGHT SO THEY SURVIVE IN THE CURRENT GLOBAL CRISIS?
