Relook at your life, a new future awaits
Accept there will be change, practice to exercise
acceptance of new reality, unknown and uncertain

Take time make time to grieve, count blessings and
move on, a step at a time if required and sometimes
one step forward and two steps back, that is OK

Summarise your stocktake; this is the first cut, a
start, maybe even a draft; it can be refined over
time, as you go along
In addition list any other key items or activities that
may be impacted, such as employee engagements,
some employee roles becoming redundant etc.
Some such areas may be difficult to deal with and
may cause emotional upheaval, be kind when you
can and show caring, that is what survives and
brings resilience to humankind

27. Going Ahead
We face uncertain times where the future is more
unpredictable than ever before
Do not lose heart, count your blessings and focus on what
you can control rather than what you cannot
Take small steps at a time as you rethink and restate your
business, business model and action plans
Think through financials and set out an action plan for
survival, 6 months and 12 months
Address the emotional needs of yourself, family,
employees while re-engineering your life
Keep faith that you are not alone, this is one time when the
whole world is going through a reset
Be the light that brightens the path for others
