How Pandemic Business Opportunities Help You Dominate And Win Through New Business Models
Tell me your business model, and I’ll tell you your future – Jeffrey Feldberg
The honest truth is that most business models suck, and their business owners don’t even know it.
Are you one of those business owners?
Read and prosper from “Why Your Business Models Sucks And What You Need To Do About It.”
If you want to keep your business forever, sell it tomorrow, or both, your business model is everything.

Next up is profit sharing with your customers. Easier said than done. How do you achieve profit sharing?
Find and solve a painful problem for your clients.

Become world-class in solving the problem and get creative in your business model.

Why Pandemic Business Opportunities Allow You To Do Today What You Couldn’t Yesterday
All things are difficult before they are easy – Thomas Fuller
Do you know why a pandemic allows you to change things today that you couldn’t do yesterday?
The short answer is timing.
In both business and life, timing is everything.
The timing of a pandemic itself is what ushers in pandemic business opportunities.
A pandemic also changes the mindset of people who are now more open to change.
The truth is that your customers expect and hope you’ll change so your business can live another day.
What can you change?
Anything and everything.
But first, start by changing how you take care of yourself, especially during a pandemic.
Read and prosper from “5 No BS Ways To Thrive In Challenging Times.”
Leveraging pandemic business opportunities allow you to take stock of your business.
With the help of your team, ask three simple questions, and provide honest answers. Your three to thrive are:
- What’s working?
- What’s not working?
- What do you need to change?
With your list of what’s not working and how you can change or fix the situation, put plans in place to change.
A pandemic can either be negative or positive on you and your business. The choice is yours.
It may be time to cut a money-losing product or service that your customers love. Now is also the time to change procedures that lead to higher efficiencies and profits.
The only limit is your imagination.
The bottom line is the bottom line.
Your business can thrive and prosper when you leverage business opportunities. At the same time, cutting what no longer works has your company healthier and more resilient.
Higher profits and happier customers result.
Congratulations, you’ve created a win-win-win.
Conclusion
You can’t control what happens around you, but you do control your reaction, even during a pandemic.
A pandemic can be the end of your business, or instead, the beginning of a prosperous new chapter.
The choice is yours.
Within every pandemic are pandemic business opportunities that do two things.
First, solving pandemic business opportunities is a service to your community and society.
Second, pandemic business opportunities can help make your business more robust and profitable.
Who am I, and how do I know?
I was that kid who started his eLearning company right out of school with no money, experience, or team.
My saving grace was my grit and passion that kept me in the game long enough to succeed. My success caught the attention of an experienced and sophisticated buyer.
I received a 7-figure offer based on three times EBITDA from the buyer who was more like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I said “no” to the offer and “yes” to learning how to master the art and science of growing and selling a business. Yes, selling a business is as much art as it is science.
Two years later, I sold my eLearning company for 9-figures based on 13-times EBITDA. I increased my company value 10X even though it was the same company, people, and service.
Today I help business owners grow their business, sell it, or both.
Learning how to survive during a pandemic strengthens both your company and profits.
It’s up to us business owners to lead the charge on the new normal after a pandemic.
Now’s the time to take your shot, help others, and make a difference.
You can do it. I know you can.
Here’s to you and your success!
