What a time, friends. We are all experiencing various forms of concern and worry. Rightfully so.
The more I run into business owners or hop on a call with a client, and even ourselves in business, we hear more and more concern around income as our economy is taking a hit. To be expected as we navigate a pandemic that is slowing us all down and forcing us into isolated bubbles. There are a million articles out there about how to work from home successfully. Our business functions primarily off of remote status, so we are pretty comfortable with this demand. That being said, we are more than happy to share some of our pro-tips, should you need some guidance.
What I do want to talk about is what you can do in the meantime to keep your projects or business moving forward.
First… keep pedaling!
The rest will follow.
Reimagine. Reinvent. Redefine.
We are in a time of question and forced isolation, revealing an opportunity to reimagine some efforts. Often, we start to get complacent with how things are operating. Then we start falling into a routine. Maybe tasks and operations start feeling drabbish and not as exciting as they once were? Perhaps we need a new approach. Being in self-isolation or for some of us as of today are in mandatory quarantine, this is turning out to be a great time to [pause] and reimagine our approaches.
Evaluate current approaches and reinvent the way we do things. You can spend some energy on how you want to market your products or services moving forward and reinvent your approach. Given our current times and dependency on digital platforms for working remotely, maybe coming up with a social media campaign is in order. Come up with new ways to communicate with your audience.
This is also a great time to focus on some business goals. Maybe some that have been pushed to the side, or setting new goals. Collectively, we might be thinking of new ways to rebuild after this epidemic. But in the meantime, DON’T STOP MOVING! If you’re slowing down, this is a great time to redefine your work and your approach.
What is D564 doing, you wonder?
We still have work to do. So we are focused on our client needs as well as our own during this turbulent time. Yes, we are concerned about the impacts on the other side of COVID-19, but we are staying focused on what needs to be completed in the meantime and focused on some future planning.
Oddly enough, I’ve found this a motivating time to start writing again. I think it’s the nurturer in me that wants to address the reality of it all and find supportive ideas to share to keep us all “out of our heads.” I also want to encourage continued forward movement, because there is an end to this virus at some point. So, however, we can stay productive and relevant in our work the better off we will be on the other side of this. I believe that!
What are you doing during these rapidly changing times? What projects are you focused on during COVID-19 slowdowns or shutdowns?

Let me know what you need to get through this time, even if it’s just a supportive ear. Your business has to keep pushing forward. Collectively, our resources might feel slim-pickings right now in crisis, but we at D564 are understanding and supportive.
