While Pinterest Strategist Tabitha from tabithafrost.com and I were planning our branding session in North Park, San Diego, there were so many fun and colorful places that came to mind.

What a great time to work on rearranging your personal and business life!

Not only from a true organizing perspective, but also within you. Most of us wanted more time to ourselves and with family, and boy did we get it!

With a MUCH slower pace, what do you not want to bring back when things start back up a bit and life begins to emerge? Rearrange your priorities for your family and yourself.

Has this time in isolation inspired you to start that business that you’ve always dreamed of? Have you thought about a new business model or a way to do your job in a new and different way? This Great Pause could be just the thing that you needed to boost your creative juices!

It’s also a great time to think about future branding and what that may look like, whether you do it with a professional or DIY it yourself!

I’ve personally been on a roller coaster of emotion.  Some days, I’m a mess and have terrible anxiety.  Other days I feel like I’m handling distance learning and balancing things really well.  Sometimes it’s a minute to minute change, and that’s OK!  There is no ‘right’ way to be during a worldwide pandemic.  Organize every nook in your home, or watch every movie on Netflix…it doesn’t matter. Worrying is easy, but put your focus on possibility instead of discomfort.

Take time to remember how you feel right now…remember how you felt before. Were you too over-scheduled? What will you differently in your personal life and business life? If you feel compelled, share that with your following. That’s a part of your personal brand as well!

It happened quickly. The sudden shutdowns of schools, sports, businesses and pretty much anything else we would consider an everyday luxury. Some saw it coming, while others were completely caught off guard.

Most of our small businesses were put on halt and a “great pause” was imposed on us while our country flattened the curve during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t do small things to help our businesses THRIVE during these times.
