With so much happening in the world and global economy around coronavirus, we’re all dealing with massive amounts of uncertainty, pivots at work, and for many—fear and anxiety that comes not only with the health concerns, but questions around how to maintain our livelihoods moving forward.
Just yesterday, the recommendation has gone from avoiding gathering in groups larger than 50 to groups larger than 10. This is affecting all of us, and we are being asked to pivot and adapt to tremendous uncertainty on a daily basis, personally and professionally.
When Momentum member and pandemic expert Dr. Michael J. Consuelos reached out to offer himself as a resource to the JBE team and the MoMo community, I jumped at the chance.
There are now 3 Pivot Podcast episodes in our Pivoting Around a Pandemic series, with more to follow on a more frequent publishing schedule.
I'm using the emoji to indicates which episodes are related to the pandemic and more scrappy/in-the-moment, alongside regular Pivot Podcast programming for those of you who can't bear another item on the subject!

Next up: Quarantine in Seattle, Home Schooling, and Working from home best practices. On that last one—any favorite WFH practices you follow? Hit reply and let me know :)
How can we know what actions to take? We can’t. These times require responsiveness, vulnerability, transparency, releasing perfectionism, and a willingness to be far more innovative and creative than we have in the past.
Ours is a wide-ranging, imperfect, in-the-moment response so we could at least start the conversation around how to maintain business continuity while Pivoting around a pandemic, primarily for those in information-based roles and industries.

MOMENTUM DOORS OPEN THIS WEEK
In odd, but maybe perfect timing for some of you, Momentum doors are now open for enrollment (3/17 - 3/20).
My team and I debated postponing the launch (one we’ve planned around since the end of 2019) but with all that’s going on, now is the time small businesses need community, smart systems, and support more than ever to weather this storm.
If you are looking to double-down on business-building while still doing so with calm, ease, sanity, crazy-smart systems, and an incredible community of heart-based solopreneurs, I would love for you to learn more and join us »
LEARN MORE: LIVE (VIRTUAL) PIVOT EVENTS THIS WEEK:
At 10am ET Today, Tuesday 3/17 I'm leading the 10 Scalable Streams of Solopreneur Income Masterclass (Register Here). I plan to talk through each stream of income as it relates to navigating a crisis and how well (or not) it performs in economic uncertainty and quite possibly recession. I'll also share how I'm approaching this "Black Swan" event as a small business owner.
Wednesday 3/18 at 12pm ET: Pivot—Map What's Next for the Year Ahead. If you've never attended one of my workshops, I encourage you to join us — I'll be sharing the Pivot Method as a framework for navigating change, which is more important now than ever. We may not even be able to plan for one year from now, but with so much fear and anxiety it's important to take a strengths-based approach: what is working? What does success look like? What can you try? Register here »
