I happen to think this coronavirus could indeed get very bad.
I'm not the panicking sort, and I'm not known as a "fearmonger."
But I'm reading every (reasonable) thing I can on it. On my Twitter feed I've posted opinion pieces issuing dire warnings as well as a much more optimistic take about the virus and its trajectory, interested to hear what my followers have to say about them.
I am following the advice to engage in "social distancing." In the coming days I'll be primarily at home, where I'll spend time with loved ones, try out new recipes, and read two highly recommended books on how to design and deliver effective webinars.
Yes, you read that last one right.
The way I look at it is:
Instead of obsessing over the virus, I intend to spend time improving the life that I will resume once this crisis has passed.
I recommend you do the same.
But in your case, don't read the books I'm reading.
Just read one simple document, which after tonight will no longer be available.
It's a document I expect you -- yes, specifically you, dear reader -- to download and study. You will thank me.
What is it?
It's the PDF of Ryan Levesque's renowned Ask Method, which helps you decide which market to enter and, once there, what to produce for that market. When Ryan appeared on my podcast (episode 1601), it was obvious that he was the real thing.
And even if you have no business at all yet, you need to read this PDF. The Ask Method helps you choose which market to enter, and thereby helps you avoid the headaches and disasters that befall so many others.
If anything, it's even better if you're starting from scratch, because you'll more effectively avoid common errors from the start.
So:
(1) It costs nothing;
(2) It comes down tonight and won't be available again for a year;
(3) It has the potential to save you some serious frustration and grief, and to propel you toward your goals.
This you just have to do.
