What to do in uncertain times.

There's a repetitive cycle that is part of life which not many people accept;
The fact that we shift between good times and hard times.
This constant transition in inevitable.
And it's balanced between two political ideologies designed to keep what we call life, functional.

But people rather be in denial of the transition, or blame the progressive political extremists for the degeneration and instability of society.
They express their opinion as if they can do a better job if they were in a position of power.
Beware of anyone who thinks this.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you believe.
All that matters is how you prepare for the changes that come.
The change our generation is facing is hard times. It is what it is.
Accept it.

During good times and stability,
it is better to take risks and aim high. You can afford to be chaotic.
During hard times, your aim should be to get yourself in order and occupy a position that can capitalise on opportunities for when conditions do stabilise.

The first step of implementing order is to protect your steady stream of income.
Without income you cannot capitalise on any opportunity.
You need a safety net. If the current conditions impacted your income,
then do nothing but look to reverse that impact.

Set your emotions aside, it's not about finding a job you 'love'. It's about cementing a steady stream of income.
Then it's about reducing your wants, optimising your needs and maximising your savings.

Adapt.
Hard times will be accommodated by change. Those who adapt will stay ahead.
This means you need to stay informed while maintaining a low level of neuroticism,
so you can objectively reach decisions that will help your circumstances.

COVID shutting down brick & mortar businesses? Online is the future.
Government printing money as part of COVID relief? Don't hold cash. Avoid inflation.
Adapting means to shift in directions the future is headed.
Things will never be the same. So don't stay the same.

When COVID hit, I was largely unaffected, doing management in the health sector.
But I still wanted to have a presence online and found a way to deliver what I know,
through consulting that's affordable for people while making it enjoyable & worth my time.

Find a way to have a presence online. If you can't provide value, don't rush it.
It means you're not ready. There's no point trying to provide fake value.
And DONT try your luck online when you have no steady income.
Routine comes first. Then experiment.

The best time to begin a start-up online is now.
The effect of COVID has shifted techs & companies online,
giving the opportunity for start-ups to reach out & connect more than ever before.
But again, steady income comes first.

Network
I think building a network is a priority during uncertain times.
Because during uncertainty, people show their true colours. Their neuroticism kicks in and they begin to behave irrationally.
Those who remain rational and calm are the rare few who begin to stand out.

You want to be able to connect with these people who stand out.
Meeting like-minded people and forming a friendship on the basis of value-exchange is priceless,
not to mention the doors it opens up for your future start-up ideas.

EVERYONE can agree on one value; to aim for prosperity.
So don't express your political opinion.
They really want to know?
Support the right, support the left.
Play both sides of the game.
No one cares. It's all about agenda.
They have theirs. You have yours.

Lastly, learn about yourself. How did you respond to this COVID?
Be honest with yourself. It's going to get worse.
Were you terrified, acting up with poor decisions?
Did you carelessly overdose on Netflix at home?
If you're answering yes,
then you have shadow work to do.
