Survival Strategies: Lessons Learned
A look into global and country-specific incidents that have had serious economic effects on business and finance, none the least of which are the traumatic and widespread impacts of COVID-19. Explore the bad and turn the lessons learned into best practices to start, maintain and grow your business.
The Laws They Are a Changing
Current events mandate changes to laws and encompass all areas of risk management, contracts, liability and so much more. What will the status of the industry be six months or a year from now? No one really knows, but it is essential to keep watch on continually changing positions force majeure, cancelations, risk and similar issues.
What Do I Do Now: Start a New Business, Reskill or Specialize?
Whether thinking of starting a new business, injecting your existing business with new products or services, altering your business model, or employing new strategies, you need to manage whatever financial, risk management and other support you need to achieve your goals. You may even learn new skills, advance existing skills or learn a new specialization.
