Can you PIVOT? and/or use other SKILLS
Fox Survival for 2020! No.4
Fox Survival No.4 – Can you PIVOT your business and use other SKILLS which you or your business may have that will drive your forward and add extra income streams and products/services to the business to fit into these different times.
Some businesses have adapted quickly and fairly easily to putting their offering online, or changing the products that they make, there are some great examples.
Years ago, I used to train the long term unemployed how to get back into work, to re-skill, I would brainstorm on a flip chart all the skills needed to run a home and family, then change the heading to MD of a company, and check down the list of skills that were mirrored to do the same.
Do you have any specific skills from a former career that you can tap and the same with your staff? it maybe that you need to do a bit of updating or retraining….now is a good time.
How to Pivot or use existing skills
Tip : Sit down with a blank piece of paper and scribble down what skills you have or your business has, ask people to chip in who know you or work for you.
Look at different sectors, additional services – identify new opportunities. Keep a totally open mind and keep calm, you may have a light bulb moment….I love those :)
I hope these posts are helping, now, you can revisit them
Small sound bites each day to keep you moving forward.
Many thanks and Good Luck!
