SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS - Why we can make a difference helping SMB survive and thrive

If you help one person, one business, it goes— Hello, my dear friends, how have you been? My name is Nir Zavaro. If you've never been to my channel, welcome, happy to have you. This is where I talk a little bit about my journey, about my idea to meet as many people as I can on the planet and try and do some good through marketing, storytelling, branding. If you need any help, feel free to reach out. So I'm located in Tel Aviv, Israel, probably one of the best cities on the planet. Well, not through COVID, it's a bit different, and we're now actually talking about having a lockdown, so I just came to the office. Yes, I love this wall. I came to the office to film a few videos, try and get some stuff done. I mainly do it in Hebrew, and I decided to try and help as many small business owners as I possibly can meet, talk to them on YouTube, and try and support them through these rough times. If we go into another lockdown, I have no idea what will happen. They're talking about 50,000 businesses that might actually close. Not that many will reopen, of course. So how can we support our community or our ecosystem? How can we help them improve what they do? If you know someone who owns a business, reach out to them. Ask them how you can help them. What can you support? Could be a $5 donation, could be buying more of their products or services. It could be trying to help them set up a YouTube channel. I remember beginning of March, I had to go into a lockdown, which was crazy. Everyone was still out, bars were open, everything was open. And it kind of felt like this is only happening in China and maybe a little bit in Italy, Spain. It wasn't here exactly. We didn't know exactly what was happening, but we had to go into a lockdown if you came back from another country. And I was visiting Germany. And the first thing I did when I left is to go over to a very good friend of mine with my camera at the time, very simple camera, and say, listen, you have this amazing ability. He cooks very simple things, but they're very tasty. And he's a talent. He can do these things much better than I can. And we filmed 2 videos. He now has a business. He uploads videos about twice a week about how to cook simple things at home with your kids. I know it's in Hebrew, it's not in English, but just to give you an idea that we can support each other. We can do much more than you think we can. יש לנו עוד דברים שאנחנו יכולים לעשות. If you help one person, one business, it goes a great deal. Try and figure out what we can do as friends, as community members. It just doesn't matter. I'm on a mission to try and interview more people. I did about 5 or 6 episodes. I'm gonna interview someone next week and the following week. If you see this video, if you know of someone interesting with a good story, an interesting business, an entrepreneur that you think would be willing to join my 100 videos interviewing different people from around the planet, please let me know. Feel free to reach out in any way you want on any social media, on any platform. I'd love to talk to them. I'm looking for people from the northern countries in Europe, from South America, someone interesting from New Zealand around. Singapore? Reach out. I'm interested. If you believe that you can help someone else and you need my help to do so, please reach out as well. And yeah, you can follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, whatever you want. I'm on Patreon trying to get a little push from people, trying to get my initiative to do some good, and hopefully more and more people will join. This is actually the first time I'm saying this out loud. So far it's only been friends that supported the cause. If you like this concept, if you like this idea, please spread the word any way you can. Feel free to subscribe, and let's make an impact. My name is Nir Zavaro, and I'll see you on the next video. Thank you so much for watching. Bye-bye.
