If you're like me, you sort of feel like you're in some weird twilight zone or movie right now where we're not sure what's real, what's not, or what's going to happen next. While we don't know how long the shutdown and quarantine will last, one thing we can be sure of, is to take advantage of this time.
To be honest, 2020 was a year I was planning to make some significant moves and start really working toward some bigger and bolder goals. I had opportunities for some training and exposure that have been cancelled. I had some ideas I wanted to run by some smart, successful people to gain their insight. And Britt and I had recently started talking about business ventures or investment opportunities to pursue.
But now, like most of us, those ideas are all quarantined...or are they?
Technically and officially, acting on some these plans is certainly on hold. But the thoughts, learning, and saving are not. So what am I doing and what can you do during this down time?

- Keep learning. Continue to take any available online classes in the field you're pursuing. Read books. I like books on various topics. Most of the ones I read are faith-based, financial, or personal development. I believe that faith and personal development will help everyone. The other genre should be the particular niche that interests you.
- Keep saving. Many investments (real estate, business, stocks, etc.) require cash, or access to cash. If your plans have been halted by COVID-19 or you're still preparing, keep saving the money you need and building up the equity you can tap into.
- Keep recruiting. To truly be successful, you need a team. I prefer to have a team composed of OQP - Only Quality People. Keep watching others, talking with them, listening to them. The greatest business venture in the world may start over a casual text or message and grow from there. Spend this time talking to quality people about their goals, your goals, and how those goals could benefit others.
