Jeremy McCarthy - Group Director of Spa & Wellness for Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group recently said...

'People who are inspired by wellness are people who are future-focused'

This is part of the reason, according to Jeremy, that Wellness is often seen as something for the affluent. Because those that aren't affluent are so focussed on short-term priorities, like food, shelter, etc.

Indeed, as Jeremy pointed out in a 2019 article on Medium, Wellness is Optional. It's a choice. You don't have to life a life of Wellness to live a happy and even long life.

Here's a link to that article - https://medium.com/@jeremymcc/wellness-is-optional-8fefd8421ec1

Most of us, at some point in our lives, have hidden behind the Status Quo..whether we realised it at the time or not.

If you've ever said, 'I'd love to that, but...' , then that's exactly what you were doing.

Because those 'buts' are the Status Quo. Or current situation.

'... but what if I get fired?'

'...but what if it doesn't work and I lose my money?'

'...but if what if my current clients don't like it and leave?'

Well, by the time we come out the other side of this current crisis, the 'buts' might not matter anymore.

The Status Quo may longer be able to shield you from making decisions and being truly accountable for your own situation.

Are you ready?

There's lots of positive messages flying around at this time of global crisis, which is great.

One the popular ones is the phrase...'This Too Shall Pass'.

And it probably will.

BUT...the world will not be the same after this.

And I genuinely believe that most people are underestimating just how much things will change.

It's time now for all of us to re-think our businesses and our lives.

Will your current business model still work in the New World?

What about in your personal life? How will your priorities change?

Many things will be very different on the other side of this Global COVID-19 Pandemic.

Potentially, the entire Organisational Structure of many companies will need to change to adapt to the Brave New World.

Is your company's Organisational Structure ready?

In his brilliant book, BRAVE NEW WORK, Aaron Dignan suggests that the Operating System of most companies today is simply not optimised for the realities of the world in which they operate.

If that was true in February 2019 when he first published his book, how much more true will it be in our post-crisis world?

You need to read this book. Seriously!

It's time to Flirt With Stupid!

You know all those crazy ideas you had that nobody wanted to listen to?

Well, guess what? When we finally come through this current crisis, you just might find the powers that be much more willing to listen.

The world will be different after this thing.

Many of our businesses will need to change the way they operate. They'll need to come up with new business models. Hell, they might need to completely change what they do to survive.

That's when these businesses will be grateful for all those stupid ideas of yours.

Start Flirting Now!

Thanks to Ben Hollandsworth for this great little phrase!

Hindsight is 20/20 they say.

And they're right.

Because once you have all the facts and have also been able to observe the results of any decisions made earlier, it's usually pretty clear what actions should or should not have been taken.

But right now, many people, including me, are making big decisions without the luxury of having all the information we need.

When this is all in the past, we absolutely must review all decisions made during this crisis. That's the only way to can hope to learn from our past.

But we must equally resist the temptation to throw stones at those who had to make decision in the heat of battle, without the luxury of hindsight.

'I always assumed Wellness would be a Recession-Proof industry.'

That was a comment I heard from someone in the Wellness space that was recently laid off.

So it turns out, Wellness is NOT recession-proof.

Of course, there are those who would argue that this COVID-19 Crisis is different. It's not like a normal recession. 

Maybe.

But I think what this current crisis has show us is that, for most people, Spa & Wellness is a WANT not a NEED.

And as long as that is the case, we will always be vulnerable in times of economic hardship.

Are you ready for the New World Order?

I think it's coming.

We should all be thinking about how we can best equip ourselves to be of value in the New World Economy.

One way to do that is to be Multi-Skilled.

I genuinely believe that the most valuable employees of tomorrow will be those gifted at Multi-Tasking.

A Spa Therapist who can also be Waiter in the Restaurant and a Receptionist at the Front Desk.

Life in the New World Order that emerges from the rubble of this COVID-19 Crisis, will be different.

Be Ready!

I've been telling you for years that creating content should be a key part of the overall marketing strategy for any business.

Now, with the world on LOCKDOWN, that is more true than ever before.

Just look at what we're all doing, all day long, for days on end...consuming content.

We're either looking to content to Educate us about the impacts of COVID-19 or we're looking for Entertainment to take our minds off it for a few hours.

So, if you're on lockdown, now's the time to start creating some content.

Still not sure what to create?

When in doubt, defer to Gary Vaynerchuk's theory - Document, don't Create.

Many things have been exposed as a result of this COVID-19 coronavirus crisis.

Perhaps the one that will result in the biggest change in our lives with Globalisation.

Over the past several years we have been running full speed towards Globalisation.

Globalisation is Good. Or at least, it was.

Today, with much of the world in lockdown, we're needing to look within rather than rely on our global neighbours.

Nationalistic sentiments have been rising in many countries for a few years now.

Could this be the event that turns us around and headlong into De-Globalisation?
