Business specific thread. I am not talking about human lives.
I own a small restaurant (160 occupancy) in a suburb of central fl and we’re operating at a consistent fifty percent (mandates). That being said it is the off season. We had to put in a cpl hundred grand to get us through the lock down (later on we were helped out with ppp) but people still want to go out and the people that are aren’t spending any less. We’re literally having to turn people away due to lack of tables that we can’t seat but these customers are still out there even with things the way they are. It’s frustrating but as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and I can not wait till October when all you see is election stuff as oppose to a corona score board on every mainstream media network. These mandates won’t last forever and perception is everything. This challenge has literally given us a great opportunity to difference our business from the competition. My biggest thing is that what hurts in the short term but grows us in the long term and I’m not just talking about my little business. If your married with little kids and your wife is working from home and you can get through this, your marriage just grew sustenance. The acc willing to play ball along with the sec when others won’t will grow the brand exponentially.
i really think that the toughest part is over with and that the ones left standing in the end will reap significant rewards. If you sold your stocks, big mistake, the market is back and I’ve already gotten back what I lost and invested when it was scary as hell and hard to scrape together funds to invest in the market.
gotta love a good challenge. Best part of all we’re up for lease renegotiation. Not trying to put lipstick on a pig but I really think when all this is said and done, we’re actually going to come out of this ahead. Crazy. I feel bad for the people/businesses that won’t get through this because it is so hard but it is what it is and if this virus has proven anything it’s that this country is resilient as hell. People wouldn’t be coming to my place the way they are if they weren’t hell bent on moving forward instead of packing it in and looking for excuses. This country is strong as hell. Couldn’t be happier to be where I am at this point and am so excited for the future.
