Quarantine / lockdown is looking to be for an extended period of time.  If you have the luxury of working from home and you are not still building, start planning for the rebound!

Consider the other side of this crisis, how you will portray your business and how you will ensure you will succeed.

Do not squander the time you have - plan and prepare!
