Most of the country is under a stay-at-home order and will be for the next few weeks. Are you trying to survive? Or would you rather plan to THRIVE?
This week I’m casting the spotlight on a few blogger/entrepreneur friends that have adapted to this new normal with an increase of online offerings. Some are FREE, some for a fee, but ALL are worth your while and provide a means for not just surviving this crazy time, but THRIVING in it!
So let’s learn something new. I mean, we’ve got the time now, right?
