This shutdown has turned out to be longer than we expected and we are all being affected in different ways. For some, homeschooling their kids have taken over their entire day leaving them exhausted at the end of the day; and for others, having nothing to do or not feeling motivated to do anything is leading them down the path of depression or social media addiction. Nevertheless, we all started the year with the goals we wanted to accomplish. Are you still looking forward to a successful year? These three actions will determine how successful your year becomes and how it sets you on the path to financial independence.

1. CREATE
These are the grinders! They tend to have growth mindsets and see the good in every situation, including this current crisis. These women will look for the hidden visions and opportunities now and use every minute they have to create something new, different, and of value. This is when they push their minds to think, be creative, and stay focused. At the end of this quarantine, the grinders would've developed a product or service that is needed and will be well on the path of self-employment or self-sufficiency. If you find yourself creating already, bravo! If you would like to begin, start with something that comes naturally, talent, skill, gift, passion, etc.
2. INVEST
These are the bungee Jumpers! Like the creators, they are visionaries. They understand what it'll take to get them where they want to be and they're willing to take risks and do whatever is needed. The Stock market continues to drop in every sector as the pandemic obstructs activities across the globe. Travel has declined to the lowest in history, stores have seen their all-time lowest sales, and the entertainment industry may become bankrupt if this shutdown continues much longer. What does this mean? The demand for every sector will increase after this pandemic, increasing the value of assets owned, and now is the time to invest. You do not need a whole lot to begin investing, you only need to jump in headfirst. If you're new to this I recommend you use "Acorns" (Found in the app store). This App does the work for you all you need are the funds. The bungee jumpers are willing to withhold or delay pleasures and good times now and invest their money in the market to produce for them a multiplying effect. They are the women who will find themselves retiring sooner than the rest and enjoying real wealth.
3. CHILL
I call these people the free-timers. They love their free time, interpret free time to be used for resting. Sadly, these folks have been resting for over a month now and still feel like they need the rest. They are not creating, aren't investing, and definitely not achieving. These are the ladies binge-watching TV series while their sisters are reading books to advance a skill or knowledge. They are sleeping while others are creating, they see the free time while others see transitional times. Rest is important but too much rest sucks the energy out of you. The free-timers will find themselves stuck being employees and stuck living paycheck to paycheck. Hey, did you know you can write the script for a children's book in two weeks, you can lunch a blog in one day, you can make masks for sale within a week, and you can decide you want more NOW? Start by getting yourself the Woman of Purpose All-In-One Planner to help order your steps and structure your activities.
WHICH ACTION WILL YOU TAKE NOW?
Great post Maryann. I'm using this time to create. I try to soak up the free time but I find it difficult to do so. It's exciting to see what other people are doing with their time. I wish everyone well
