We help keep employees safe through training, consulting and program writing. There are fewer employees and less ability to get employees into classrooms due to COVID and the resulting workplace changes. So we seek more customers and try to adapt by doing more remote training.

Identify the best marketing and sales methods for your business; specifically:
1. Identify your target market(s) - Will your customers be the general public or businesses or other organizations? What type and demographic?
2. Contact them in ways that work - What means (Phone, email, mail, posters, media advertisements, in person etc.)? What methods (Sales offers, reputation and brand building, incentive to meet)?
3. Follow up and follow through - Do what works to get the present sale and builds good relationships for future sales

Great question! My daughter and I have a similar situation.
Is there a way that you 2 can agree upon an arrangement that provides incentive and disincentive (possibly financial) in proportion to the results or outcome of each of your relative contributions to the business? That way, the other person isn't punished so much for the other person's failures, and each person is rewarded for their successes. This also removes the inducement to waste time micromanaging each other's work. The formulas or algorithms do not need to be perfect, just fair, reasonable and agreed upon in advance.

Succession of ownership and management of a business needs to go to someone who is both able and willing to operate it. My very small business may go to my Granddaughter if she wants it and continues to learn how to operate it. She is educated and working in a related health field while she is learning this business. My Son started and successfully operated a different business years ago, so he is not currently interested or able to run this business. My primary assistant trainer could also learn the other service and management aspects of the business and take it over.

Dear Shutdown, The advice that Sofi, Abel and others have given sounds absolutely great! The causes of your problems here sound are beyond your control. This can be emotionally hard...frustrating, painful, even overwhelming; but don't despair. It is a waste of our precious time and energy lamenting or trying to control the causes of such problems; but you can deal with the situations.... which it sounds like you are trying to do very well. We can innovate and adapt. Sometimes we can overcome. Sometimes we can even come back stronger and better. It's a Death, Burial and Resurrection process like the Gospel, analogically speaking...and sometimes divine grace and mercy are manifested; so don't give up hope. My business went through 3 major existential crises and my wife had a serious, nearly fatal problem with diabetes. The 2008 recession took 80% of my business (many clients went out of business after working with me for over 20 years) I persisted but had to change my business model, my marketing and numerous aspects of my business. The other 2 business crises were also caused by people and circumstances beyond my control, but I came back better than before in all 3 cases. My wife was led to find a special diet that reversed her diabetes and actually allowed her body to regenerate its insulin production and metabolism so that she is no longer diabetic and has taken no medicine for over 15 years. It took 7 years for her body to fully regenerate, but it worked and she now helps other people with numerous health related problems...very successfully. Be patient, persistent, prayerful, thankful, innovative and adaptive....and don't despair or give up hope. The outcome may be better than you had ever imagined.

Dear Exhausted and Determined,
I can relate with your situation and empathize with the fears and concerns of losing your business. For most of us entrepreneurs, our businesses are our income and our life (at least our primary activity in this life), and our self image and self esteem become identified with our business. Consequently, disability and failure in business can feel as devastating and frightening as total failure in life. The fact is that we will all eventually fail. We will all become unable to perform in business, sports, family, society and any area because our physical bodies won't function; bluntly speaking, our bodies will die. So while we are able to function physically, we should align our values, priorities and activities with the eternal spirit. This brings up the ultimately most important conversation, but it is on a different topic than your letter.
Most of our businesses, as entrepreneurs are actually personally operated trades. Our trades are usually skilled or specialized in the services and products we offer as well as in the marketing and management we use. This tends to makes us personally valuable, even indispensable to the business. So, if we don't plan for business continuity and replace ourselves our businesses will probably die with our death or decline in our ability and energy.
We should answer the following question early in our business careers, if possible: "How can I operate with a business model that makes my business self-sustaining and will give me lifetime (and possibly inter-generational) residual income without me personally working?" Doing this will require adaptation and change-management, which involve different skill sets than the ones we used to start and grow our businesses. We could possibly consider mentees, contractors and/or technology to run our businesses; or even consider selling our businesses while they are highly profitable.
Best wishes to you,
Exhausted and Determined, and to all my fellow business owners.
