<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ok so you have now survived 3 weeks on lockdown, you realised everyone feels the same as you do and the initial panic, shock &amp; horror have started to dissipate. Now you are starting to get comfy in an environment where no one expects anything of you, all finance services have been asked to give you a bit of breathing space and life is starting to feel a new kinda normal where walking in the sun is the highlight of the day.….right!?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So how far have you come in 3 weeks of lockdown?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you go down the procrastination route or did you get proactive on your business? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You have done the maths, realised what you can really survive on and now need to make a plan for the future. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">But what more could you do, if anything?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Well in the world of Biomechanics Education we have recognised we are well into stage 3 of the Kubler Ross Curve!</span>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There are as always 2 directions you can go in….and both are an option….</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Option 1 - Continue to panic, continue the give up and continue to feel useless because technology is moving far too fast for you, thinking you might as well put your head in the sand until its all over - eh!?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">OR</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Option 2 - Panic, feel useless but start by cracking on and having a go, make mistakes and realise no one is expecting anything from you so literally anything you do is a bonus!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Seriously the entire nation were in Kubler Ross stages 1 &amp; 2 for a while too but I then remembered my Circle of Control and chucked away my Circle of Care. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So after you have read that blog this is geared to support you and offer our assistance in moving forwards...</span>

<b>6 Tips To Saving Your Business AND Improving It During Lockdown!</b>

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/6-positive-actions-to-take-right-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Circle of Control - CLICK HERE Literally do this, grab paper and a pen and write as many things as you can think of in each circle. Then actually physically tear up that circle of care and throw it in the bin or burn it. There is something very powerful in that physical act. </span></a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Create a Schedule - Just like you did when we weren’t locked down. Having a clear schedule gives you a sense of purpose and proactivity each day. Getting up each morning with a plan means you are far more likely to achieve the goals you set out than if you simply rely on memory or ‘working’ ad hoc when you feel like it. We humans like order, discipline &amp; routine as it helps offer a feeling of control during uncertain times.</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spend Time Learning - Face your fears and study the areas you are weakest.Technology, anatomy or creating content, videos, blogging or website designing. Time did stand still for a while but will soon start to pick up pace again and you might wish you had made the most of having more time. Everyone has worked out Zoom, Webinarjam, facebook live or even Facetime or Whatsapp video calls - it doesn't matter so long as you stay connected!</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have A Weekly Goal - Having a goal is so important and generating one bigger goal each week gives each week a primary focus, that can then be divided into smaller goals to help support you to achieve the bigger one. There is something about writing things down and then crossing them off a list as you get each task done towards that big weekly goal!  A great idea might be to set up a private Facebook group, which is free, then offer your financially stretched clients the option to subscribe for £5/£10/£20 per week/month to your group where you will be offering daily insights, videos, education. </span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Think Long Term - Try to keep in mind the struggle everyone has had to adapt to this ‘new normal’ BUT also remember there will also be a time of adaption back again - our businesses may well survive but how will the industry have changed long term for you, your clients, the market in general, what will be the new trends? How could what you do right now give you an advantage in the future? In business we should ALWAYS think long term and even more so now - plan B / C / D can be helpful but also be sure your present 'system' doesn't shoot you in the foot when 'back to normal' price and service wise. Create and offer alternatives for all.</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking Forward - Get excited about this as a time of growth as all painful times can be. We are forced to reflect and ponder our purpose, drivers, goals and dreams. This is a great OPPORTUNITY to change what you are doing, re-focus and maybe make your future even better! </span></li>
