Wow! Where do I even begin...this decade is definitely nowhere near what I imagined. Life was going fine until Rona I mean the Coronavirus hit the scene. I know this virus has ruined so many lives--physically, financially, emotionally the list goes on and my heart goes out to everyone. So many things are out of our control regarding this virus, yet, one aspect that I feel everyone can better position themselves is their brand.
