Running a business involves making decisions. A lot.
-Will it be good to participate in this giveaway?
-What product should I offer next?
Most times deciding it’s not easy. Either we lack enough information, lack enough objectivity, or talk ourselves into something …only to regret it later.
We’re getting into week number eight of our lockdown here in Madrid.
Experts are beginning to worry about the psychological consequences of this confinement.
So for the first time in eight weeks, adults are allowed to go for a walk…
… as long as we keep social distancing rules, it’s shorter than an hour, and we don’t go farther than a kilometer away from our house.
I’m homebound in my city, a few kilometers south of Madrid, while I write this. All of us in Spain are staying at home to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.
