If Your Business is On Lock-Down; Our Tips to Work on Your Business

If your business is in total lock-down, I would use some of this time to work on the future good of your business. Maybe, you have struggled to 'work on' your business and now you can. Ideas are:

Strategic planning
Marketing planning
Scoping & developing new products or services
Creating or updating your budget/cashflow
Website updates or planning
Learning a new skill
Researching ways to streamline your business and make more lean
Researching/learning new software to help streamline/automate your business
Start thinking more innovative and maybe anticipate the changes to your industry once we are on the other side

Of course, spend time with your family, but maybe continuing a work type routine would be good for everyone to help feel a little normal. If you are going to work from home, setup that routine and talk with your family so they are aware and to not interrupt you.
