Businesses were on pace to have one of the
best years ever and then the coronavirus hit causing chaos and trepidation
within our country. Businesses were forced
to close their doors at worst and at best they had to alter how they continue
to serve their customers. Add in racial
tension and politicians who promote a division within our country so they can
remain in power and through the smoke, fire and destruction; businesses found
themselves in dire straits.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-QQahbW3kpghZO4uCIZBeWkvfV4f8Ttqb7ual5tokRChlwq3sGzVV6EECR3KTyp9xsnNd7gnAyity4uULuanmYVVqIrZPe7cQp5tzIuxSVPSL_p3_zkYG5iZ06pequQtXXxmOq9Teng/s468/Picture1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="187" data-original-width="468" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-QQahbW3kpghZO4uCIZBeWkvfV4f8Ttqb7ual5tokRChlwq3sGzVV6EECR3KTyp9xsnNd7gnAyity4uULuanmYVVqIrZPe7cQp5tzIuxSVPSL_p3_zkYG5iZ06pequQtXXxmOq9Teng/w400-h160/Picture1.png" width="400" /></a></div><p>With the uncertainty of 2021, a few things remain certain

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the 1980’s it was unfathomable that “Nerds” would be
ruling the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A fictional movie was
even created which depicted Lewis Skolnick, Dudley “Booger” Dawson, Gilbert
Lowell and Lamar Latrelle as heroes who would change how we view the
intellectually gifted for years to come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Of course, a year after the first of four Revenge of the Nerds movie
series, we watched Chris Night played by Val Kilmer make being smart look cool
in Real Genius.<o:p></o:p></div>

Gone were the days that He-Man would rule the universe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>GI Joe would soon enter civilian life and
“B.A.” Baracus of the A-Team was no longer pitying any fools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yep, Marty McFly’s best friend was scientist,
Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future and two teen misfits would design the
perfect woman on a computer in Weird Science.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today, we won’t be able to cheer for the gridiron greats as the
Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers have followed suite of the other
professional sports cancelling the Pro Football Hall of Fame preseason opener
over the fear of a seasonal virus that has a 99.7% chance of being
non-fatal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to CDC Director
Robert Redfield, who told journalist on June 25, 2020 that the number of
COVID-19 cases was probably closer to 50 million than the reported current
figures which means the death rate is closer to .26 percent which is a great
cause for celebration.<o:p></o:p></div>

Not only are our sports such as football, basketball and
baseball in serious jeopardy, but we are seeing American Hero’s statues being
toppled by protesters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Protesters in
Portland, Oregon gathered around a statue of George Washington and lit a fire
on its head before destroying it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>New
York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio has announced that the prominent statue of
Theodore Roosevelt which welcomes millions of people across the world standing
at the entrance of the American Museum of Natural History, will be
removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>San Francisco protesters defaced
and toppled a statue of former President Ulysses S. Grant who led the Union
Army during the Civil War.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the
mayor of Columbus, Ohio is trying to erase history or at least hide it by
ordering the remove of a famous Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus who had
been credited for discovering America in 1492.<o:p></o:p></div>

Americans have abandoned following the likes of larger than
life men Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan; putting their
faith in people like 5’ 7” immunologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We shut down the American economy based on
London’s Epidemiologist, Neil Ferguson who stated 2.2 million people would die
by April 15, 2020 from COVID-19 if we don’t hide in our homes for 18
months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course he resigned from his
position when he got caught breaking social distancing rules he implored the
world to take while he was having an affair with a married mother. And don’t
forget about billionaire Bill Gates. Because of his vast amount of wealth, he
is able to invest in research that can encode medical history on a patient by
including a small amount of dye with a vaccine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Make no mistake about it…these “Nerds” are shaping our public and social
policies that will affect how we do business for now on. <o:p></o:p></div>

As the United States is trying to redefine our identity,
many hard working Americans are just trying to provide for their families and
enjoy watching their kids grow up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to the New York Times, the real unemployment rate is close to
20% with the over 30 million people unemployed which is the worst since the
Great Depression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the United States,
there are 30.2 million small businesses which comprise of 99.9% of all United
States businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are businesses
that are less than 500 employees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
employ 58.9 million people which makes up 47.5% of the country’s employee
workforce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is talk of another
government mandated lockdown which can prove devastating to businesses just
trying to survive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We must embrace technology and understand how to operate in
an adverse climate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Businesses such as
Signet Jewelers, JCPenney, Victoria’s Secret, Gap, Tuesday Morning, Chico’s, Bath
& Body Works, Macy’s, Pier 1, Sears, Forever 21, Nordstrom, Hallmark,
GameStop, Neiman Marcus and Walgreens are among the retailers that are planning
to close stores this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even GNC
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a couple of days ago announcing it
planned to close between 800 and 1,200 stores while it looked for a buyer. Most
recently, Chuck E. Cheese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy while its finances
had been in a freefall since the coronavirus pandemic hit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each of these companies failed to be able to
provide their goods or services like before once the economic landscape
changed.<o:p></o:p></div>

To survive, rebuild and prepare for the next obstacle that
will take place if our political leaders do not take a stand and make sound
decisions; businesses will need to look for ways to shield themselves from a

internet and embracing the digital age will be vital for your business to

In short, you will either need to become a “Nerd” or look to
a “Nerd” to help your business identify and reach your potential customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With more people utilizing the internet for
their information and purchases, you can adapt and reach your clients with a
digital media and marketing strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Understanding that many potential customers and even some of your
employees have been frightened by the news media and local politicians should
lead you to investing in <a href="http://www.apachecommodities.com/">PPE</a>
products giving the perception that your business is truly a safe place to
visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being transparent to both your
employees and potential customers will be vital for your success, so your

<div class="MsoNormal">
When I walked my daughter to her kindergarten class as she
attended school for the first time she held my hand tight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although she was very excited and outwardly
expressed that she was ready to gain her independence, I could feel the clammy
coldness moister on her palms as she masked the fear of the unknown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was the same fear my son had the first time I took him
Trick-or-Treating on a dark Halloween night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As we walked around the block in his favorite superhero costume, we
came upon a house that was extremely decorated embracing the full spirit of the
night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had realistic graveyards,
strobe lights, bloodcurdling sounds and the most horrifying creatures standing
guard of the loot ready to be handed out to brave little soles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My son looked up at me and said, “Daddy, I
don’t want to go to that house!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of
course, that house was ours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had
never seen the front of it in the dark on Halloween night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was afraid of the unknown.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We all have experienced the fear of the unknown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually, our fears derived from the first
time we experienced something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether
it was school, riding a bike, swimming, college, job, date or even our first
kiss; the fear of the unknown increased our heartbeat, produced beaded droplets
on our upper lip and sometimes buckled our knees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A choice was presented as we could go forward
and gain experience or avoid the discomfort and pause the anxiety for the time
being. Of course, if you think back to all of the first, without facing our
fears, we would not have gained the rewards that awaited on the other side of
the proverbial door of the unknown.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, your potential customers are facing the same types of
fears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some are still worried about a
seasonal virus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others are scared that
people who look or think different actually hate each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of these fears exist because of the
media and politicians using fear to sensationalize stories, but perception
becomes reality and the fear exist thus altering their buying habits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Businesses are facing fear as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finances are being scrutinized as the
unemployment rate has risen to unprecedented numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Global trade wars and oil production
perpetuate the fear while analysts try to prognosticate the unknown.<o:p></o:p></div>

Knowing and understanding that fear is an emotion that is
induced by a perception of what could or might happen can help business owners

environment to gain a larger market share.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Great Product or
Service.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is quite obvious to
many, but we have to mention it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your
product or service lacks in areas, your competition will fill the void and take
away your potential customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Customer
service should be its own mentioned item; however, we will state that people
want to feel appreciated for spending their discretionary income with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, let your customers know that you
value them.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Safety.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you agree with the reports or not,
the majority of the public is more knowledgeable about the spread of a virus
even if it is much like the common flu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Therefore, look into investing into <a href="http://www.apachecommodities.com/">PPE products</a> to give an impression
that you care about the safety of your employees as well as your potential
customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something as simple as making

billions of users who are averaging as much as 8 hours a day on these media
platforms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It only makes sense that if
your potential customers are spending half of their waking hours scrolling

<div class="MsoNormal">
This time of the year brings uncertainty for many 18 year
olds (and their parents too).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a
parent of a graduating high school senior, I have a plethora of emotions going
through my mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although I am excited
and can’t wait for my senior to enter the next chapter of his life as he
attends a school in what seems like another continent, 1633.8 miles away to be
exact; I run through a virtual checklist in my mind to make sure I have
prepared him for anything that can happen while he embarks on this new
adventure.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My thoughts drift back to when he still wanted to hold my
hand crossing the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was once his
super hero that could protect him from anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a time when he would hang on my
every word listening intently to my advice, stories and even laugh at my
jokes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an honor to get to coach
him in sports at an early age, celebrate his victories and console him during
his defeats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Memories of watching him
overcome obstacles and achieving success will last a lifetime and hopefully a
few lessons will resonate with him as he encounters new challenges in this
world.<o:p></o:p></div>

Life is pretty simple if you slow down enough to take
measure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people in this world are
good, but there are some that want to do you harm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Understanding that you can vastly improve
your odds of safety by avoiding hazardous situations and networking with those
who are achieving success can lead you to greatness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Realizing that every challenge presents an
opportunity to allow you to change course gaining valuable experience to
prepare you for the next trial that will arise will be vital to your
growth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being transparent with others
allows your true character to be exposed, but also allows you to see the true
character of others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will not be
able to please everyone, but you will be able to take solace if you think of
others before yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you do
something, do it with passion or don’t waste your time doing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take time to celebrate the little wins and
have fun while archiving the things that keep you from accomplishing your goals
avoiding those things in the future.<o:p></o:p></div>

In five months the polls will open up and we will be voting
for the President of the United States of America for the 59<sup>th</sup> time
since 43,782 recently independent Americans voted for George Washington in
1788.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will see the typical ads
showing that President Trump is a mean spirited misogynistic anti-immigrant
billionaire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other ads will depict Joe
Biden as an out of touch old man who is the typical corrupt politician not
living up to his campaign promises over the 43 years he has been in office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In general, neither of these messages will
change the way both sides of the political spectrum will vote.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They must change their message into one that
is clear and precise to capture an additional voting bloc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7kv9X7ty-KYUSoPpTKCTF-ozJzV02TF8gOTRMUqdTaTu4XtzuxpF41KMnw-BuOtj8aSuf_lea57kctNAXh81putwkTThkj5RTMeNkjcOj9iqzDDA6iCD68mNqhjefccE0weQsGQiisyg/s1600/489.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="750" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7kv9X7ty-KYUSoPpTKCTF-ozJzV02TF8gOTRMUqdTaTu4XtzuxpF41KMnw-BuOtj8aSuf_lea57kctNAXh81putwkTThkj5RTMeNkjcOj9iqzDDA6iCD68mNqhjefccE0weQsGQiisyg/s320/489.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After hearing the same messages for the last 3 months about
a virus that was sure to end the world as we know it falling well short of the
2.2 million predicted US deaths by April 15<sup>th</sup>, we are now faced with
another division in our country fighting over race relations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These arguments will be no different than the
same arguments the baby boomers fought over in 1965.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only difference is the baby boomer
generation is still fighting amongst themselves and have now added a newer
generation to battle on the front lines.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The problem with the Coronavirus as well as the Race
Equality message is that there is no real clear message.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Originally, the Coronavirus “Flatten the
Curve” message was to lessen the burden on hospitals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the narrative continued the message went
to the extreme of eliminating a flu-like virus from the face of the earth at
all cost including leading us into The 2<sup>nd</sup> Great Depression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, groups like Black Lives Matter have the
worldwide stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the first couple of
days their admirable message (with which DeliveryMaxx completely agrees) was
“Justice for George” which quickly resulted in the firing and impending
criminal trial of the Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin and other three
officers who watched the tragedy unfold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Quickly, the message has been diluted with various themes as reparations
for all black Americans at the tune of $400,000 apiece, or completely eradicate
racism while peaceful protests have been infiltrated by Antifa and other groups
destroying inner cities businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
both cases, the message has been lost at the expense of those trying to bring a
positive message for change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the case
of COVID-19, nobody wanted anyone to die, but like cancer, there will be unfortunate
casualties that happen in life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As for
the death of George Floyd at the hands of Derek Chauvin, most people found this
to be horrific and applauded how quickly Chauvin was terminated from his job
and waiting in angst for his arrest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, much like disease we will never be able to eradicate evil from
this world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have to make sure that
the right laws to govern our society are enforced and hold our officials
accountable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/3/null" name="_Hlk42075288">The
phrase, “Don’t judge everyone by one bad apple” alludes to the idiom “One bad
apple spoils the bunch”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The solution is
to rid the bad apple before it spoils the bunch, and if our officials are
unwilling to do this and hold the ‘bad apples’ accountable we will not see
positive change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Evil will only triumph
when good people do nothing. </a>And we believe our country is largely
comprised of good people willing to stand up for what is right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In reality, we all want the same thing in life which is to
be able to provide for our family in a safe environment and watch our kids grow
into productive young adults.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most
cities and towns in America exemplify this, but the mainstream news media and
many politicians want to continue to divide our country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If those that truly want change, the message
must change into obtainable results and resonate with those who have different
experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The message cannot be hijacked by someone or
a group that has ulterior motives that will only serve their self-interest. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Social Change can happen especially when the
intentions are good.<o:p></o:p></div>

Businesses today are no different than what is being played

<div class="MsoNormal">
Kenny Rogers, the Country Music Hall of Fame singer who
recently died in March, signature song was his 1978 hit, “The Gambler”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a cross-over hit that won him a Grammy
Award in 1980 and was selected in 2018 for preservation in the National
Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The song was about a young fellow who was a little distraught about the chaos that was happening in his life, and he came across this wise old man who
poetically explained the secrets how to overcome different obstacles you would
face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br /><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDMV_3OawKNcxnWKIOYW7o-Zk-PdpEh3cZQImSQDfCV3nURQhKji-Uv_OjozyzFyUQlABnK4B8wuycS9E-3Z9o-8FE_ZRgIi4RVRT6BXGr_pUxq70vWAqYb3jd7DuEZWRzRoUGlzQE3I/s1600/479.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="838" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQDMV_3OawKNcxnWKIOYW7o-Zk-PdpEh3cZQImSQDfCV3nURQhKji-Uv_OjozyzFyUQlABnK4B8wuycS9E-3Z9o-8FE_ZRgIi4RVRT6BXGr_pUxq70vWAqYb3jd7DuEZWRzRoUGlzQE3I/s320/479.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The very first piece of advice the Gambler gave us was,
"If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes you have to know when to stay the
course, sometimes you need to accept a loss and move on, sometimes you need to
adapt and move another direction and other times you need to do a complete
paradigm shift and alter your course altogether.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course the song he expressed these
sentiments using the analogy between life and gambling making sure we play our
cards right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was an expert for sure
because at the beginning of the song he let us know that he made a life out of
reading people’s faces just by the way his challengers held their eyes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Gambler gave us a gem that all business owners should
take heed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He stated the secret to
surviving is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part about his allocution was when
he explained that “every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser” which I
firmly believe tells us that we have opportunities to win no matter what cards
we are dealt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just depends on how we
decide to play the game and are we playing it right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Business owners, especially small business owners have had
unprecedented adversity in the year 2020.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We are in the midst of The 2<sup>nd</sup> Great Depression with over 40
million Americans filing unemployment and a real jobless rate over 23.9%
(The Great Depression of 1929-1933 was 24.9%), the uncertainty of businesses being
able to open up to full capacity, misinformation about a virus that has a 99.9%
sure rate, looming trade wars with China and now exploitation by our media and
terrorist groups on race. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(As for race
relations- it is our position that there is a problem with racial inequality;
however, it is by evil people of all colors, races, religions and political
ideology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We believe there are more good
people in this world, but they are silenced by the media sensationalizing the
bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

You have a winning hand and you have a losing hand as it
pertains to your business today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
more people utilizing the internet for their information and purchases, you can
adapt and reach your clients with a digital media and marketing strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Understanding that many potential customers
and even some of your employees have been frightened by the news media and
local politicians should lead you to investing in PPE products giving the
perception that your business is truly a safe place to visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being transparent to both your employees and
potential customers will be vital for your success, so your online content
should be consistent and plentiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
can be a bit overwhelming for some, but as long as you are using common sense
with today’s technology you will be able to survive, rebuild and ultimately
thrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the Gambler said before he
drifted off to sleep, “There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s
done.”<o:p></o:p></div>

If you were to only get your news via Facebook or Twitter

understand this and use this to their advantage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As long as there is division, there is a

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Work Sans"; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.875rem; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
We had the good fortune of connecting with James Schaefer and we’ve shared our conversation below.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Work Sans"; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.875rem; margin-top: 1.875rem; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;">Hi James, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Work Sans"; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.875rem; margin-top: 1.875rem; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Due to the Coronavirus and all of the contradicting information our media continues to give, businesses; especially small businesses will have to make some very difficult choices on whether to keep going or giving up. As an entrepreneur, giving up is not in our vocabulary. Therefore we must adapt to the environment around us. Plato once said, “Necessity is the Mother of Innovation”. As government continues to order businesses to close and people to stay home, as business owners, we have to focus on staying alive. Utilizing common sense and today’s technology is more important now than ever. We know our consumers are online. Therefore, we have to adapt and still find ways to spread our message to the consumer and that means creating a digital media strategy do remain operational until we can get back to normal.</div>

DeliveryMaxx is based in Rockwall, Texas which is a nice lakefront community outside of Dallas. Anyone visiting Texas has to have the best BBQ and therefore we would go to Sideways located at the Harbor on the lake. Sideways is a small business that has live entertainment and the best Texas BBQ in the country. Not to mention, they are a DeliveryMaxx client and the owner, Josh Deaton used to be a partner of mine in DeliveryMaxx. Before we eat dinner, we would have to do a little bass fishing at Lake Ray Hubbard and maybe practice social distancing on the Golf Course.</div>

Society has rightly given a shoutout to our Doctors, Nurses, Police, Firefighters and other frontline services who are helping during the Coronavirus Pandemic. On behalf of DeliveryMaxx, we would like to give credit to all of the businesses that continue to have expenditures such as rent and payroll even though they don’t have the same revenue that is coming in. Like DeliveryMaxx, these are businesses that have started from nothing and provide an opportunity for others to have an income that keeps our economy strong. They are having to adapt in these chaotic times, and there are so many inspirational stories that are not being told by the media. Their struggle is real and DeliveryMaxx enjoys helping them provide a digital strategy to help keep their business alive by utilizing E-Commerce.</div>

I would also like to recognize all of the 2020 High School and College Seniors. This is an unprecedented time for each of you. Having a high school senior myself who has missed his high school prom, will have an unorthodox graduation ceremony and the loss of the traditional senior memories so many of us have experienced in the past; my heart goes out to you and your parents. You will never be able to get these back. However, the future of our country will now rely on the decisions each of you make from here on out. Use your experiences to continue to make the world a better place.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert Einstein, the German-born theoretical physicist who
developed the theory of relativity has been credited and often cited as saying,
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting
a different result.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This quote has been
used in countless arguments to persuade others into gaining a new perspective
in the way things are currently being done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It usually flows off the tongue and the recipient of the phrase has probably
failed in their task, but continues to keep trying without adapting to the
adversity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another of his famous quotes
is, “Life is like riding a bicycle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To
keep your balance you must keep moving.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Riding the bicycle in business is a perfect analogy comparing the
two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, businesses can also look
at the quote penned by Einstein whose name would become synonymous with
‘genius’ is, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowledge is limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Imagination encircles the world.”<o:p></o:p></div>

misinformation that the media published and quickly saw that 6027 people would
have to die a day just to hit that number in a year, and over 36,666 people
would have to die a day to meet the doomsday prediction of an epidemiologist
who has a history of being wrong many times before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, even though you used common sense, many
people do not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s easier to follow
than it is to lead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, change
your perspective to utilizing your business to meet the needs of potential
customers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your customers are scared and
instead of being mad at them, have empathy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It takes time to research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
are also many egos involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nobody
wants to be told they are wrong (and there are millions of Americans that have
fallen for the overhyped rhetoric).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Identify what people want out of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They want to be able to have a story of overcoming adversity of some
type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They want to have a purpose that
they can be proud of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This virus, if it
lived up to the hype, would have been that perfect story for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, look at ways that you can provide
your customers satisfaction and some significance in their existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Realize that they want to feel valued and if

Every young boy who played or who has attempted to play sports

the dilemma the player would be a game situation, but most of the time it was
in the locker room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There would
inevitably be a situation presented that the player would have to make a choice
to stand up for what he felt was right or back down and try to deescalate the
situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Fight or Flight”.<o:p></o:p></div>

Instead of facing enemies armed with weapons determine to
take your life, in business, we are faced with challenges that try to alter our
path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My home state of Texas is facing
an unemployment rate of 12.8% which is the worst on record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The closest past unemployment rate was 9.2%
back in November of 1986 during the last big oil bust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every state in the Union has been hit
hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevada, for example, has
registered an unemployment rate exceeding 28% which is the highest in the nation
due in large part to its reliance on tourism and hospitality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The overall unemployment number is at 38.6
million at the time of this blog with an average of 2 million new filings a
week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To understand how big this number

better than the seasonal flu) have become a business owners’ nemesis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The so-called stimulus meant to assist
businesses to keep their doors open while we “flattened the curve” and ease the
burden for hospitals; instead lined the pockets of political operatives and

<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the last 3 months, we have all had a lot of time to
reflect on our purpose in life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
many, we have let our careers define who we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If this is the case, why are there not more
people that absolutely love and have a desire to punch that time clock every
Monday morning?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are one of those
who are still procrastinating after a long Memorial Day Weekend by browsing the
internet and stumbling onto this blog… You’re Welcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a perfect blog for you.<o:p></o:p></div>

Do you have passion for what you do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not talking about “Pizza Friday’s” we all
remember in elementary school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not
even talking about the desire for the clock to strike 11 AM and the glorious
sound of the bell releasing us for an hour of recess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m talking about the 24/7 ultimate fixation,
mouth drooling, weak at the knees, heart palpitating excitement to get to do
what you want to do.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For the last two months, business owners like myself have
been very frustrated and in many cases at a loss for what to do next.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, we all should agree that reactions to
the Coronavirus have negatively impacted many businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like many of you, a wide variety of emotions
have emerged as the goal post continued to change as we tried to conduct business
in an ever-changing economic environment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Instead of writing a blog blaming the government for abusing
power, complaining about the mainstream media providing misinformation,
exposing the big banks for squeezing out the small businesses for PPP funding
or even shaming the citizens for allowing their fear to dictate the new rules
and regulations that have severely limited businesses to achieve success; I
have decided to talk about actions DeliveryMaxx has taken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully, this blog will give you and your
business some positive actions you might be able to take allowing you to adapt,
survive, rebuild, and ultimately thrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Like us, you have probably invested your life savings to build your
dream job, not for the sole purpose of making a living, but because you truly
enjoy actively participating in the services or products your company provides.<o:p></o:p></div>

There are several steps you can take to position your
company and operate at a point of strength.
Reaching potential clients, promoting a safe environment, networking, identifying
ways to help others and willingness to adapt are just a few recommendations we
encourage you to look at:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Reaching
Potential Clients</b>. Due to the government shutting down business operations
as we know it; it is imperative that you have a strong presence on the
internet. This means your website has
become your primary store front. It
should be easy to navigate and allow your potential customer to receive all of
the information they are looking for. However,
you must have a digital strategy that helps guide people to your website. Think about the internet as a highway. If you were able to put up a billboard on
every exit of the highway guiding people to your place of business, would that
be helpful? Of course it would. That is how you want to use your social media
sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blogger, WordPress, Pinterest,
YouTube and more. You should have a
methodical strategy. The good news is
that digital advertising and marketing is a lot less expensive than traditional
advertising. Companies like <a href="http://www.deliverymaxx.com/">DeliveryMaxx</a> can help you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Promoting
a Safe Environment</b>. It does not
matter if you think the reaction to the virus was a hoax, overblown or the
perfect solution to keep people from getting sick. Perception is reality and the reality is
there are a lot of people who are afraid due to the information or
misinformation they have received.
Therefore, if you want to build your clientele to solicit your place of
business you will want to make sure they feel safe and are willing to step foot
in your building. Although your
employees are probably thankful to get back to work, they too receive a lot of
information. They may not express their
feeling to you, so you can ease their concerns by providing the appropriate PPE
supplies to allow them to do their job safely.
Personal Protection Supplies can be anything from KN95 Mask, disposable
gloves, hand sanitizer or disinfectant spray.
Companies like <a href="http://www.apachecommodities.com/">Apache
Commodities Group</a> have fair pricing below market and can even provide bulk
products and pricing for your needs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Networking</b>. With so many people telecommuting and
utilizing virtual contacting services; having great relationships with others
is vital. Talk with your vendors or
partners. Be transparent with your
employees. Let your business accounts
know what is going on in your world. The
more you share, the more likely it will be for someone else to identify with
your experiences. Join a networking
group even if it is a small group. Every
business has been affected by the current situation and the landscape will
continue to move. Experiences of the
past will always help you prepare for the future. The more people you are in contact with the
more experiences you will have access to allowing you to position your business
for success.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Help
Others</b>. This area is personal for me
and DeliveryMaxx. Throughout this whole
ordeal, I have experienced the same frustrations as many of you. I have felt like I was put on a remote island
with no tools or help from others. I
swallowed my pride and shared my concerns and sure enough there were
individuals that offered to introduce me to others that might need my
services. There were individuals that
helped me navigate through the regulations of securing funding to allow me to
operate. There were even clients who
understood my value and instead of cutting out my services, identified other
ways I could help. When I sat back and
realized I could do the same for others, business began to grow. I offered to use my expertise at a minimum
cost to them. Many times, my new clients
and my company used unique billing methods that would be advantageous to both
of us. In some cases my company achieved
more revenue and in other cases we added more work without adding revenue. However, the satisfaction we gained helping
others was a huge boost to our psyche and that gave us another ally in these
chaotic times. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 38.4pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><b>Willingness
to Adapt</b>. You have a choice. You can draw a line in the sand and decide
not to cross it. This can be admirable
to some extent, but if your business can’t function, who does that help? Or you can compromise and adapt. Take for example a restaurant. Putting up Plexiglas dividers is not
ideal. In many cases, it does not make a
lot of sense when you really analyze what it is doing. The same goes for having the wait staff
wearing a mask. However, if that is what
it takes to open your doors and get back to 100% capacity that might be something
you have to look at doing in order to survive.
You don’t have to compromise your beliefs or alter your moral
compass. However, if you can keep your
business going for another day, month or even another year; you are giving your
business a chance to survive.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
When the beginning of the school year began for the 2020 seniors;
nobody would have predicted what would have happened in the World much less the
United States. Not only did the economy
coming to a screeching halt but high school students would have their lives
turned upside down as well. Distance
learning would become the norm, cancellations of prom and unorthodox
graduations would be planned. The high
school senior would soon learn that nothing is guaranteed in life and no matter
how much you prepare for the uncertainty; everything can be taken away in an
instant.</div>

The Class of 2020 doesn’t know a world without 9/11 as it is
a historical event rather than something they lived through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A Texan occupied the White House when they
were born and they were only 6 years old when the first Black American was
elected to the highest position in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are younger than the iPod, which was released in 2001 and only 5

were a year old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MySpace had launched

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">COVID-19 is
dominating media headlines, advertisements, daily conversations, and websites
all feature news & updates regarding the novel coronavirus that has swept
through the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the more
tiring aspects of daily life during this pandemic are the advertisements that
mention COVID-19 buzzwords at nausea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It is nearly
impossible to watch a TV show that doesn’t reference the virus, followed by ads
from companies like Doritos, or Kit-Kat, or Amazon, assuring us that they care
about our safety as they subject us to overplayed cheesy music and affirmations
that we are “all in this together.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

inequalities as some segments of our society is profiting greatly while others
are struggling to cope with the reality laying ahead of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In times of adversity we rely on our past experiences to get
us through to the other side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
no doubt that businesses have had to grasp at history and lessons of our past to
try to survive the current economic climate of the present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also have to believe in the goodness of
mankind that there can be a fairytale ending.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes, business, especially small businesses have to continue to navigate
the unknown as they have faced adversity from mainstream media misinformation
and lies, power hungry politicians at the Federal, State and Local Levels and a
majority of compliant citizens who were scared into believing the overhyped
myths about a seasonal virus that history will show us that it was not much
different than the annual flu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Businesses are faced with trying to survive an unjust government
shutdown, rebuild with irrational regulations and ultimately thrive by
identifying and adapting to new opportunities.<o:p></o:p></div>

In 1930 Arnold Munk with the pen name of Watty Piper wrote

exciting goods to the boys and girls by the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were several trains that opted not to
help giving an excuse as why they didn’t want to give some assistance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first train, “A Shiny New Engine” came by and quickly
dismissed the plea for help from the small broken down train.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It said it was a passenger train that only
helped the rich and powerful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next, came
the “Big and Strong Engine”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It could
easily help the small broke down train, but it only wanted to help the strong
and didn’t have time for such an insignificant train like the one carrying
toys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, a “Little Blue Engine”
that was small and hadn’t even been over the mountain before came by and saw
all of the distress the small broken down train was in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It knew the troubles it might face, but armed
with hope and a desire to help it accepted the challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I think I can, I think I can” became the
mantra and the “Little Blue Engine” despite facing insurmountable odds was able
to deliver the toys to the boys and girls by the next morning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our businesses have been challenged with “types of trains”
that dismissed our needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether it was
banks like Wells Fargo, politicians like the local County Judges or Mayors and
the news media that sensationalized stories to scare the public into submission;
business owners and their employees have had to keep thinking positive working
harder than ever just to survive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now we
are faced with rebuilding as States are slowly opening back up despite the
forces from the opposition.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Businesses will still have to adapt to the new regulations that
have been unjustly put in place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
learning we can take away is that our society ingest its information from bold
sensationalized headlines, innovative memes and 15-30 second videos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, leaders will need to make sure
their business is able to reach, communicate and provide goods and services
using today’s technology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes
marketing, advertising, e-commerce and informing your customers and potential
customers in the digital arena.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Digital
Advertising is less expensive than traditional advertisement, but it has to be
done right to be effective.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Your business must have a social media presence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a statement that would be truthfully
stated at any point in the past 10+ years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, now it is especially important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The past two months have upheaved business plans and many small business owners are deeply concerned for the future of their livelihoods.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Across most states, we are seeing lockdowns &
restrictions being lifted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately,
that does not mean the rocky path businesses have been placed on are at an end,
rather further obstacles lay ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
now is not the time to lose hope, I am reminded of the Myth of Orpheus &
Eurydice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsgi_1KJKaFFhZ-n6QIvZMMGyd1JsgFIbZ6Wu-_JTGLLo0-Kv5qt7b_8ctJ6c4Gn5yHK-aHa8RBVmh9Ke5xWQsrjD7pfe0AWSwwZmJhyphenhyphenmzZiUeVBmEEVLhWPtOAPkjnueHflRRhbADbs/s1600/1489.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="236" data-original-width="400" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsgi_1KJKaFFhZ-n6QIvZMMGyd1JsgFIbZ6Wu-_JTGLLo0-Kv5qt7b_8ctJ6c4Gn5yHK-aHa8RBVmh9Ke5xWQsrjD7pfe0AWSwwZmJhyphenhyphenmzZiUeVBmEEVLhWPtOAPkjnueHflRRhbADbs/s320/1489.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For those unfamiliar, Orpheus is a legendary musician &
poet in Ancient Greece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He created music
that was said to charm all living things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His music was so beautiful that even trees would dance and are said to
be frozen in their last dance to this day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most famously, his young wife Eurydice tragically died after falling
into a nest of vipers on their wedding day, and not content to lose his beloved
Orpheus traveled to the underworld to retrieve her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The journey was hard, and when he reached the hellish
underworld he played his music so powerfully that Sisyphus rested on his rock,
all 3 heads of the dog Cerberus were enchanted by the tunes, and the lords of
the Underworld Hades & Persephone agreed that Orpheus could return to the
world with his wife Eurydice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
there was one condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eurydice was to
follow behind Orpheus and he would not be permitted to turn back to see her
until they reached the end of the difficult paths & caves out of the
Underworld.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only when they reached the
very end and into the light of the world could Orpheus turn to see Eurydice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, they began the difficult trek out of the
underworld, leaping across chasms, up steep cliffs, and through narrow
caves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At last, a few mere feet from the
end Orpheus suddenly stopped and turned to gaze into his wife’s eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he did, she was pulled back by invisible
hands to spend her eternity in the underworld.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many argue what could have compelled Orpheus to stop so
close to his goal, but none can answer the question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps it attests to the human nature just
when it seems like success is at hand, the toughest part is behind us and all that
is left is a little obstacle, trivial and insignificant to be overcome, that is
the moment when we are tempted to lose our minds and undo everything we have
done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Orpheus represents all our missed
opportunities, loves, friendships, and successes we have let slip through our
fingers.<o:p></o:p></div>

In 1839 Edward Bulwer Lytton wrote the phrase, “The pen is

One side of the debate on the severity of the soon to be

lining lobbyist groups with 1.8 Trillion dollars leaving 389 Billion for small

The other side of the debate acknowledged that there was a

Trade War against the United States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They suggested that the only way we would hit 2.2 million deaths in a
year (not 60 days as suggested) from a virus that has less than a .05%
mortality rate was for 6027 people would have to die a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using logic, they requested a recommendation
of those that might be susceptible to the virus with flu-like symptoms and were
concerned to stay at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the
government could pass a much smaller stimulus to help out those that might
actually be unsafe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There predictions of

<div class="MsoNormal">
What seems like ages ago was actually only 60 days ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes… 60 days ago there was still enough
toilet paper to go around that people would even occasionally ‘decorate’ chosen
homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People would wave at you in the
stores, and spend a little time talking with you upon recognition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Parents of high school seniors were planning
graduation parties and summer trips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Soon to be college graduates were looking forward to making their mark
on society and starting new careers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
stock market was at an all-time high while unemployment was at an all-time
low.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our President was busy making
America great while the Democratic contenders were exploring options to provide
tuition-free education available to everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You could get a haircut and then spend the rest of the afternoon
enjoying a latté on the patio with some friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Monday mornings were a drag because the
weekend seemed too short, and conference meetings were held in a windowless
room with your colleagues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you were wearing
a mask while going to the bank; you were probably going to end up being on the
6 o’clock news and arrested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nobody ever
thought of a McDonald’s cook as essential nor did we really give a second
thought to the cashier at Wal-Mart on how vital they would be in our society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu were
complimentary entertainment on a Sunday afternoon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Discussions about baseball’s opening day were
starting to heat up and Las Vegas was preparing to showcase their new venue by
hosting the NFL Draft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nobody knew what
an Epidemiologist was and we all thought that the government advocating
tracking devices installed in humans, drone surveillance, social media
censorship and apps that allowed neighbors to report neighbors simply for
having a conversation was something only found in a Sci-Fi Movie.<o:p></o:p></div>

For example, we were introduced to a seasonal virus with
symptoms much like the flu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The news
media spread the propaganda from certain politicians with a self-serving agenda
and the United States was separated into “Essential” and “Non-Essential” classes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were only supposed to close down for a
couple of weeks to minimize the burden of the hospitals so they could treat all
cases as needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quickly, this pitted
those that could work to side with these ridiculous unconstitutional orders against
those that were stripped of being able to provide for their families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gave the corrupt politicians and news

As weeks turned into months, the narrative changed from
relieving hospitals of the burden to the prevention of all COVID-19 deaths. The Federal Government gave control to the
States and power hungry local county judges and mayors seized unprecedented
power to control their citizens. These
local politicians with a severe case of Napoleon Complex perpetuated the
destruction of our economy based on ever-changing science without actually
using logic. They bullied citizens into
submission by labeling them as selfish and greedy shaming anyone who disputed
the illogical rhetoric.</div>

The global pandemic surrounding COVID-19 will likely be the defining event of this decade, perhaps beyond. The implications are being felt throughout business and personal lives, and will not be going away anytime soon.<br />
<br />
As people come to terms with the realities of our interconnected world and uncertainties of a rapidly altering situation we have seen huge overnight changes to shopping behavior. From bulk-buying to online purchases, people are changing how they buy, when, and why. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://usabilitygeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ecommerce-sticky-lead.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="750" height="179" src="https://usabilitygeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/ecommerce-sticky-lead.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Different generations are responding differently to the pandemic, however Gen Z & Millenials are particularly altering purchasing behavior. According to one survey of consumers, the younger generations are found to be changing their shopping behavior much more dramatically than other generations by cutting back on non-essential purchases, stocking up on supplies, and spending less on 'experiences'.<br />
<br />
As people are embracing social distancing guidelines, this impacts the amount of foot-traffic brick-and-mortar stores can expect even as they are permitted to reopen their doors. While this turn is unfortunate, there are avenues for local businesses to recoup their losses from a decline in physical shoppers. A survey by Engine states that people are spending an average of 10-30% more time online shopping. In the coming weeks and months there will be a large portion of potential shoppers that continue to limit their time spent visiting stores, and increasingly turn to online retail for a variety of goods. Take advantage of a growing online customer base by ensuring your store is set-up to succeed in an e-commerce world.<br />
<br />
Your customers are adapting to strange times and their behavior is constantly changing, and business owners are facing much of the same uncertainty. However, <a href="http://deliverymaxx.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DeliveryMaxx</a> is here to help.

As the tides of public opinion of the severity of the
Coronavirus are quickly shifting as politicians, some in the mainstream media
and the average American; the carnage of 33.5 million lost jobs are part of the
aftermath that has been left behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to a recent FORTUNE article, the Real unemployment rate has
soared past 24.9% which is just shy of the highest level of unemployment during
The Great Depression of 1929 which was 25.6%.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When you add the new unemployment figures with the 7.1 already
unemployed Americans, the real unemployment rate is more than 40 million.<o:p></o:p></div>

not the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a matter of fact,
owning your own business is actually like playing every position on the field,
but instead of 3 umpires managing the game, you have an umpire for each person
on the field who is demanding perfection from you while thee stadium is packed
of potential clients while your competition is hidden within.<o:p></o:p></div>

Sure, it’s exciting when you achieve success.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all love the stories about the business
idea that turned into a household name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The facts are that 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, 30%
of small business fail in their second year, and 50% of small businesses fail
after five years in business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally,
70% of small business owners fail in their 10<sup>th</sup> year in
business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, many people are quick
to look at the mega billionaires like Mark Cuban, the Jeff Bezos and the late
Sam Walton with disdain we often forget the sacrifices they made before their
success.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We fail to understand that
owning a small business demands sacrificing.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today, small businesses have the same struggles as they
always have had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are faced with
taking risk just to make payroll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
have to decide what to invest to keep their business growing or even in severe
cases, operational.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are tasked with
writing off owed revenue at times or foregoing their own salaries to have the
ability to pay an employee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In most
cases, the first 10 years is not glamorous at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the owner of DeliveryMaxx, I can remember
a time that my son brought home a baseball teammate of his to watch the World
Series at our house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was sitting at
the dining room table working on a project, and he asked me what channel the
game was on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He couldn’t find it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With embarrassment, I told him I had to cut
off cable to save money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being wise
beyond his years, he didn’t miss a beat and told his friend they would have to
listen to the game on the radio instead.<o:p></o:p></div>

Recently, the government passed a 2.2 Trillion Dollar
Stimulus package that was touted at helping small businesses make payroll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over 1.8 Trillion Dollars was used on
anything but helping small businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most of the money went to the public arts, congress, displaced refuges,
colleges with billion dollar endowments and other entities chosen by our
elected officials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 389 Billion that
was left over was quickly swallowed up by big businesses and those with
personal relationships with their banks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mega banks like Wells Fargo, Chase and others squeezed out the small
businesses making them fend for themselves during this overhyped media driven
politically backed scare of a seasonal virus.<o:p></o:p></div>

Shelley Luther, owner of Salon A La Mode defied unconstitutional
orders by local County Judge Clay Jenkins who is using his position of power to
eye a run for Governor and opened up her salon even though the order said she
was not allowed. She stated that it
didn’t make sense that the dog groomer next to her was allowed to work while
she had to keep her doors closed despite still having to pay rent for her
building. She was one of the many
businesses like DeliveryMaxx that had not received the Payroll Protection Program
(PPP) for 6 weeks and her hair stylist as well as herself still had mounting
bills to pay just to put food on their table for their kids.<o:p></o:p></div>

As many State and Federal Prisons are releasing criminals
like rapist, politicians like Harris County Sherriff Lina Hidalgo are wanting
to throw business owners in Jail. Dallas
County Judge Eric Moye ruled against Shelley Luther for both criminal and civil
contempt. The same judge who is known
for pulling a gun on a women while driving on the Dallas Tollway, accused of
physical assault in 2009 and accused of being biased and not being able to
properly preside over a controversial lawsuit in 2018 took the opportunity to
grandstand in front of the world telling the mother and small business owner
she was being selfish in her decision to open her salon early so she could feed
her children. Moye handed down a $7,000
fine and 7 days in jail. He baited her
with release if she would publicly tell everyone she is wrong to defy the
unlawful orders and she answered him with, “I have to disagree with you, sir,
when you say that I am selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish. I have
hair stylists that are going hungry because they'd rather feed their kids. So
sir, if you think the law is more important than kids being fed, then please go
ahead with your decision. But I'm not going to shut the salon (down).”<o:p></o:p></div>

faced with the likelihood of keeping their business open fighting The 2<sup>nd</sup>

for them to adapt and embrace technology as the government has scared people
into not even wanting to look at another person in the eyes. Therefore, business owners will need to make
sure their business is able to reach, communicate and provide goods and

do that myself, so I got a haircut. You want to talk more about that” while
banning salons and barbershops from conducting business to put food on their

Over the last 6 weeks a lot has been learned by our
country’s citizens and leaders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
stage was set early on with a group of government leaders who used a flawed
graph that stated 2.2 million people would die based on 100% of the population
contracting a seasonal virus whose symptoms are not much different than the
flu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a matter of fact, the CDC just
came out with another revised statement saying there were a lot less deaths
directly related to COVID-19 than had been reported and showed the vast majority
of those who might have a slight chance of dying were elderly or had an
underlying health condition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the
leaders used scare tactics and incorporated them into their political playbook
to gain power while others followed the initial flamboyant voices and made

Much like in 1938 when only 13% of the German population
agreed with the Nazi Party, the other 87% remained silent and let these power
hungry leaders take control using fear.
Over 6 million Jews would meet their ghastly fate as the world stood by
and watched. Today, the majority of
Americans have hid inside their houses allowing the government to destroy over
30 million lives since the middle of March sending the unemployment rate to its
highest since the Great Depression of 1929.
The 87% of Germans who remained silent based on fear of perceived
popular opinion may not have pulled the trigger or released the gas, but they
were still complicit as they allowed Hitler and his party to lead the country
to destruction. A widespread defense in
modern day about if the hype around the Coronavirus being a hoax is that the
information by mainstream media, CDC, WHO, our Local Politicians and those that
worked on the frontlines was false.
However, there were a minority that kept asking questions, even being
ridiculed by their peers, and utilizing research to show the numbers never and
would never add up. They were ostracized
for using logic and accused of being insensitive about those that might die. This was even after they pointed out that
there was never a plan to prevent mortality due to the virus, but only to allow
hospitals to prepare for an uptick in those that might become sick. The narrative has now changed to the
prevention of all death from the coronavirus, which sounds just as farfetched
as writing this sentence. One thing is
for certain, we will all die from something.
Those that are scared of this virus should be scared of pneumonia, flu,
heart disease, cancer, common cold and even driving their vehicle. Those deaths have claimed millions more than
COVID-19 over the years. Because of
fear, our country is now on the brink of The 2<sup>nd</sup> Great Depression
and will suffer at a greater rate than the initial deaths we were trying to
prevent in the first place.</div>

History has given us great leaders and leaders who took
their followers down a path of destruction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are considered great leaders while
Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Saddam Hussein have been

The best leaders have emotional intelligence; they may feel
things deeply but they're emotionally strong and stay in charge of their
feelings. Followers are more reactive with their emotions, while leaders are
more responsive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Successful leaders have
strong convictions and are bold in their beliefs, while followers are less
committed to ideals. Followers get out of the storm while leaders stand strong
against it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leaders may be headstrong
and determined, but they also know when to be flexible and agile. Followers are
more inclined to stay on the set course come what may.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By nature, followers are more cautious than
bold. Leaders combine big dreams and action; they leap into situations where
both the payoff and the risk are substantial. Followers watch and take notes;
they move more slowly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leaders tend to
be decisive, opinionated and self-assured. Followers are more likely to see
limits in their abilities and put more faith in the judgments of others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leaders like to have a definitive plan and a
blueprint for getting results--a bridge between goals and accomplishment. Followers
like to have clear instructions that allow them to focus more on their
individual corner of big picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leaders
are almost always characterized by a clear vision for the future and sharing
that vision with others. Followers either focus on the moment or sign on to a
leader's vision.<o:p></o:p></div>
