The pandemic is a tough time for everyone. Everyone's affected with it. The big and small businesses too. Based in Pithora, Entrepreneur Shubh Agrawal shared his story of how he is dealing with the Pandemic.
Shubh Agrawal is one of the most prominent names in the world of entrepreneurship. As he had a clear vision of what he wants at a very young age, he witnessed success soon with his hard-work. So how is he dealing with the pandemic? Read below.
Has the pandemic affected your work?
-Undoubtedly, all business establishments, irrespective of their strength and type of industry, have been already affected greatly by the coronavirus pandemic. With the entire education sector coming close to a standstill (and the country under lockdown) all dependent industries have also suffered terribly. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought fast-moving and unexpected variables, some of which existing crisis plans and teams weren’t prepared to handle. Many companies successfully developed incident management plans specific to this crisis, and are now looking ahead. The COVID-19 situation has impacted every business sector and created a sense of social disruption that is unprecedented in our times. It presents a challenge for all of us to think differently, to adapt, to be resilient, to remain optimistic, and to find a way to lead, whether it is at home or within our business activities. Whether you are a CEO of a large corporation or a small business owner, communication skills are some of the most important for a leader in any circumstance. Over the last three months during a pandemic that resulted in an economic shutdown, regular and effective communication with employees and customers has never been more critical. Leaders should take these lessons and look at what they have learned specifically about their business in the last three months. Many of these lessons and tactics will continue to be important for the rest of the year and beyond
How are you staying positive during such times?
- When the world as we know it has gone for a toss, it is quite difficult to emerge positive. We are surrounded by doom and gloom— filled with news of death and ailment. To be able to stay positive in such hard times takes every ounce of energy within us. Since most of the news associated with the virus talks of how the virus is inversely affecting major cities, businesses, economies, and the life count; it is fairly easy to be lost in all the negativity and the drastic long-term changes it brings. You’re stronger than you know. It is fairly easy to be engulfed in the hopelessness that the pandemic brings with it, but hope goes a long way. Hope is what keeps us going. Get hope from your past resilience. Know that you will get through this. You have got through so many things in the past because of your strength, and you will conquer this as well. You made it through! And you are stronger because of it. During such times, optimism is not a friend of even the strongest among us. Nothing is permanent, if we have the sunset of bad times, we will have the sunrise of good times. Negative thinking affects your mental health. In the era of workouts and physical fitness, there is some sense of lack in mental fitness. You need to have faith, believe that every ending has a beginning; it’s just that you need to trust the process.
