Maybe it is time for you to panic. Now what do I mean by that? We're always told don't panic, don't panic. But people who really study crises, whether it is fires in buildings, whether it is tidal waves coming in, have learned that the biggest problem so many people have in a crisis is complacency. They act like nothing's wrong. That is what ends up destroying people. Quite often we're in a pandemic and the reality is many, many careers are never coming back. Many jobs are never coming back. If you have a job that doesn't involve you making money on a computer online from home, you need to be, if not panicked, at least scared into taking action. What are you doing to learn new skills so you can feed yourself and your family? If you can never leave your house again, it affects everyone. I can't fly around the world and conduct trainings in person anymore, but I can do it online. You should too.
