It’s important to be prepared…but not paralyzed by fear
In the midst of preparation for the effects of the coronavirus in our country, it’s easy to feel anxious in the midst of all of this uncertainty.
It’s more important than ever to remain calm and do our part to wash our hands, keep social distancing, take good care of our loved ones, gather the supplies we need, boost our immune systems, and come together as a global community (family, really!) to protect our collective health.
I did an Insta Story earlier this week about this exact topic. So many of us – myself included – want to gather what we need, be prepared but NOT feed the fear frenzy.
It’s important to be prepared, but NOT paralyzed with fear.
Not surprisingly, being prepared with the supplies you need for a global virus outbreak is not unlike legally protecting your business.
It’s not healthy to live in a paralyzing fear of being sued. That weakens the strength and confidence of your business and it can keep you from moving forward.
Just like preparing to keep your body healthy, it is helpful to use legal documents to help your business be prepared and more secure on the front end to relax your critter brain and not be held in a state of paralyzing distress or anxiety.
Using legal documents is one way to calm our anxiety when it comes to business.
If you’re feeling exposed and worried not only about your family’s health or wellness but also about your business, you’re not alone.
Do these things to help yourself feel more calm, safe and secure during this time of uncertainty:
1. Reach out to your clients and the online community to keep feeling connected and supported – rather than isolated from others.
2. Create and offer resources that can be assessed by clients at home (or anywhere!) – like online classes, DIY products, podcasts, videos, e-newsletters, and opt-ins.
3. Assess your legal protection for your business and make sure you’ve got your legal documents in place so you aren’t draining your energy and worried about being legally naked.
