The case for a business mentor has never been stronger…

I was in town earlier today and I am pretty sure it ‘twitched’. As you would expect retail outlets were largely closed, except those that could meet safe operating criteria, such as car mechanics etc. Some coffee houses were serving take away product, which was being greedily sucked up by thirsty coffee starved members of the community. Traffic was brisk, but car parks were largely empty.

At last some schools were operating, to the huge relief of exhausted parents and caregivers. Returning to work is for most a welcome relief to both the mind and for business owners the bank balance. Many businesses are only now starting to get a reasonable picture as to what the next few months and the balance of the year will look like and it’s fair to say many business plans will need some amendments to meet the needs of the business and the realities of what lies ahead.
