The depth and longevity of an entrepreneur’s success depends on many factors. Things like industry, work environment, world events, leadership style, personality, grit, and more come into play. In most cases, the motivating factors that drive entrepreneurs to “just start” are the same ones that ultimately lead them to success.
I wanted to personally explore the characteristics/expectations of entrepreneurs and businesses that last, especially those that last amid hardship. I interviewed four CEOs who exemplify what it takes to attain longevity in business and weathered the last financial crisis. I asked their advice on how a business can survive the COVID-19 pandemic and much more.

Something that I have always said when hiring staff, "is not for everyone." Many may be trying to work from home for the first time, or at least every day remotely, not to mention with the kids in the mix with whole school districts closed.

At the time, I had five young children at home, two not yet in school.

Founder & CEO, Start-up to Success Media, Marketing & Consulting Agency Business Consultant & Marketing Guru I have to admit I have days that I feel enslaved by social media. I have days where I am uninspired about my own brand and I just draw a blank as to what I should post on my business social media pages...and I'm a social media marketer! I can only imagine how you must feel. My excuse is usually that I don't have enough time for my own marketing because I am busy marketing for my clients, which I guess is a good problem to have, but I know better. If you are attacking your social media marketing with a day-to-day method, then it is easy to fall into this trap. We all get tired, burned out, and sometimes just don't have the creative energy that each day requires to put our message out there.
So what do we do about that? |
