I have always believed that my business has survived through tough times before because of relationships with my suppliers and my customers. But I have never had to really totally shut down my business before.

Worked backwards to some, I started with my suppliers to see how they were going to restart their business and what products would be available to me when I reopened.  Almost everything will be available to me to sell because of my past relationships with them.

Next was my customers to see when they were going to reschedule their events.  This was disappointing because most were not going to reschedule this year.  But I kept my name out there. 

The rest of the year would be playing by the seat of my pants.  Hope I can guess right on all things other wise I might have to retire...Yuck
