The process is too complicated for many small business owners and requires too much paperwork or documentation. It also does not provide any areas to explain how Covid has affected your business resulting in changes to your operations for the future and different needs and approaches to your business strategy. That should be included since every small business is impacted by Covid as well as large corporations and not for profits.

Because I started a joint venture in December 2019, our challenge is when we can fully open and operate our business, however we anticipated the increase in viral and data usage and pivoted our business to insure when we open we get a fast restart. My own company has seen a slow down because I deal with consulting business to business . That has not ticked back up at all yet.
My best tip is honesty and listening skills for any communication online or other.

Because I am not a retail business dependent upon foot traffic my differences are more related to opportunities to meet with people and their reactions to Covid. Also because my business is international, a lot of my business involves the state of affairs in other countries caused by the pandemic and the reaction and actions to Black Lives Matter movement globally.

Last year I saw the economy headed toward a depression. I went to a business owners whom I greatly respected and discussed diversifying by taking over one of his companies. I knew I needed partners to do so . I reached out to former clients in business across the United States and Africa. Today my seven joint venture partners await the total reopening of NYC to begin the seven months of work we have done to prepare which included our approach back in February to the pandemic . We have created a new model that now we see others adapting. Now its about implementation of our business plan. As a consultant for 40 years in September, I always understood that with difficult times comes new opportunities.

Because I have been in business for 39 years as a marketing major undergrad I understood inherently the importance of segmentation strategy and that led to my becoming an expert in Global Diversity Managment and understanding the difference between Cultural Marketing and Global Diversity Strategy. So my challenge is always to educate people still new to a business concept that I helped to popularize in corporate America and the Legal Profession in the late eighties and all through the 90’s when companies became aware of the Hudson Institutes Workforce 2000 Study. Today I focus on small business and non profits and global business. In effect the US is actually behind most companies outside of the US is moving to the next level of strategy and understanding. And because my interest is very specific and segmented I must identify thought leaders in any industry I do business with and make sure I am aware of the cultural differences in groups, organizations and personal culture that impact us all.
