The Coronavirus has caused massive disruptions to the lives of a lot of people and, until things are under control, it looks to only get worse.

Just today, the NCAA cancelled their annual college basketball tournament. Major League Baseball just cancelled the rest of their Spring Training games and are postponing Opening Day for at least several weeks. The NBA and NHL both cancelled the rest of their seasons.

People across the world are being restricted as to where they can travel. Italy is in a virtual lockdown. The US is restricting who can travel here.

So, what does that mean for us? Well, first, let's assume we get through this and the world hasn't ended when we do! Second, we should look hard at what businesses like ours offer people.....OPTIONS!

The single mom working at an Amazon warehouse is worried about what happens if that facility closes, even for a week. The Uber driver is scared because he/she never knows who is getting into their car, or where they've been. The retiree is wondering if they'll lose their part time job because the virus has affected the money coming in to the business they work for. The list goes on and on.....

So, my personal belief is that, in addition to building our businesses and brands here at WA, we need to be sharing this opportunity with as many people as we can! Let's help that single mom, that Uber driver and that retiree see that they can also create an additional income stream by working for home. Then, if something bad happens, they don't have to rely on just that one job to pay their bills.
