How Businesses Can Thrive After Challenging Times
Australia is home to a resilient bunch of people. It’s been proven over and over throughout our history, and it’s being tested again right now. But it’s in challenging times like these that Australian’s have always found a way to thrive.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the Australian economy with some tall obstacles to overcome. But we thought that now would be an opportune time to look at how you can push for better for your business. Let’s take a closer look at what it means to face the unique sort of adversity that we’re all facing right now – and what it means to thrive in the wake of COVID-19.
What is ‘the new normal’?
It wasn’t hard to spot some token phrases getting thrown around when the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic started to set in. ‘Unprecedented times’ was perhaps the most common, but one that started off quiet and has started to build is ‘the new normal’.
A phrase tends to catch on when it does a good job of speaking to something that everyone is thinking about. ‘The new normal’ has caught on because it's good shorthand for the uncertainty that we’re all feeling when it comes to figuring out the sort of landscape we’re going to be operating in six, twelve or twenty-four months from now.
This idea of a ‘new normal’ is important because it's tied to something we’re all asking ourselves. Where to now?
Don’t make the mistake of staying put
The old way of doing things isn’t going to work the way it used to. If your business is going to come out of this period with some momentum, you need to start thinking about what you’re going to do to be ready for the changes that are coming.
Creativity and persistence will make a difference
Big changes don’t have to spell death for every tried and true method that you used to build your business pre-COVID-19, but they do demand that you stay open to change. This means staying open to new opportunities and being persistent when you feel that you’ve found a way forward.
Focus on your existing relationship
Every business is hurting, so we recommend making sure you’re doing what you can to stay in touch with your existing business relationships and staying focussed on adding value. Your business partners are going to be doing what they can to stay afloat as well. Right now, is the time you can help each other the most.
