A Reaction is an immediate, instinctive action.

 

A Response is more considered and thoughtful.

 

In times of uncertainty, like we're all living through right now, you might feel compelled to React quickly.

 

But maybe the better course of action would be to take a breath, take a moment to consider the circumstances and potential outcomes, then Respond.

 

You might end up making the same decision either way, but this way you should have more chance of making the right decision.

Billboards near the empty are empty. 

 

It's a sign of the times. But it might also represent some opportunities for your business.

 

Where are those advertisers now spending their ad dollars? Maybe it could be with you?

 

If you've got a database of customers, then you can help these advertisers get their message out there.

Life seems to have us programmed to make decisions.

 

In or Out. Up or Down. Right or Wrong. Good or Bad.

 

Just make a decision.

 

But in times of uncertainty, like right now, the parameters are constantly changing. We don't always know what the rules are.

 

How can you possibly make a good decision in that landscape?

 

At times like this, sometimes no decision is the best decision.

Bartering is the idea of swapping one good or service for another.

 

Before money was invented, that was simply the way business was done.

 

So right now, with so many businesses running low on cash, it's time to Bring Back Barter!

 

It just makes sense.

 

Maybe you'll need to consider a three way (or more) chain of swaps to ensure everybody wins. 

 

What we need is a safe and secure Barter Platform.

 

Does anybody know of one?

Most would agree that Global Warming is real...and it's a real problem.

 

But so far we haven't found the global, collective will to seriously tackle it.

 

This current Coronavirus Crisis might just provide both the cover and the incentive for governments all around the world to finally address it.

 

We're subsidising many industries right now. So why not double down on subsidising those eco-friendly and a sustainable industries that will actually help us in the longer term?

 

Our communities are more aware of the fragility of the world we live in. 

 

And above all, at least from the political perspective, we're probably willing to give a government a Pass on missing other key economic metrics right now, due to this global crisis.

 

Added together, it seems to me like the landscape may just be right for change.

I just made $1,000.

 

How? I created a profile on FINDAWAY Voices, uploaded a few audio samples & got an offer from and author to narrate his book and turn it into an audiobook.

 

You could do it too. 

 

Yes, you need to learn a few technical audio skills...but that's what Google and YouTube is for.

 

Seriously, that's how I learned.

 

So, if you could do with a little supplemental income right now, go checkout FINDAWAY Voices, watch a few YouTube videos to learn the technical stuff and get cracking.

 

What do you have to lose?

Dwight D Eisenhower was President of the United States.

 

He was also a US Army General who was the Allied Forces Supreme Commander during WWII.

 

And...he came up with what we now refer to as the Eisenhower Matrix.

 

In short, it provides a framework for prioritising decsions based on a matrix of Urgent and Important.

 

It's simple. And it's useful.

How often have you heard someone say, 'I can't do that. I'm just not creative.'

 

But it's not true. We're all creative.

 

"Creativity is the act of using alternative thought to accomplish a desired outcome. 

 

Art is simply one possible manifestation of creativity."

 

So says well respected Chief Creative Officer, Steve Babcock.

 

Any time you re-arrange your sock drawer you're exercising creativity.

 

You may not have what it takes to design a logo or a website or paint he Sistine Chapel. That requires Art.

 

But you definitely posses creativity.

 

And right now, in these trying times, we need creativity more than ever before.

 

So...no excuses. Get creative!

Most people, when offering you advice, do so from their own perspective, experience and bias.

 

That means their advice may well be right for them, but there's no guarantee it's right for you.

 

The best advice comes from those people who ask questions about your context before they offer up their advice.

 

Here's a great article on this topic written by Bill Murphy Jr. over on Inc.com - https://bit.ly/32BJE8U

Whether you're posting your own blogs, articles and videos or simply sharing someone else's, you're still effectively publishing content.

And no matter how big or small, you have an audience that is consuming that content.

But what responsibilities and obligations do you have to your audience in terms of the accuracy and integrity of that content?

It's a seemingly simple question to answer. You either do or you don't.

But I think it's not always that black and white.

Shouldn't you be free to state your opinion?

I say, Yes!

As long as you're not stating that opinion as a fact (unless it is), I think that's ok.

Will some of your audience assume that if you said it, it must be a fact? 

Maybe? 

But I'm not sure that's all on you.

The audience has a responsibility to seek their own truth.
