An Entrepreneurial Response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 Panic

As of March 12, 2020, the world is on “fire”! It’s in full panic mode over the Coronavirus COVID-19.

I don’t need to tell you about the market collapse, the cancellations, or how to protect yourself, etc.

Why is there a Panic?

Lots of reasons, but what I find it so interesting is how we instantly go to worst case scenarios in our imaginations. 

In fact, it seems it’s so much easier to vividly imagine the worst, and practically impossible to vividly imagine the best.

Countries, organizations, businesses, universities, sports, etc. are all taking actions they believe will slow the spread of the virus.

So, what keeps us from imagining these actions won’t work?

We should be relieved by their actions, but we’re not. In fact, for many their panic is only intensifying.

I’m hearing all kinds of stories of people fearing for their lives, financial fears, hoarding, chaos, etc., and you are too. Doom and gloom is off the charts!

I could tell you… 

That there are currently ONLY 59,000 to 62,000 active Coronavirus cases worldwide.

Or, I could tell you that an average of 1.25 million people are killed worldwide per year in automobile crashes. 

Or, 600 million people worldwide got the swine flu 11 years ago and there was no panic.

Or, I could share with you the actual COVID-19 statistics being compiled and that our chances are very low of contracting this disease. And of those who do have it, 90% have a mild form.

But, none of these facts will probably changes much for you, because we’re in a Panic!

So how then, should we live?

This is a great time to do the opposite of a world that is ‘running for the exits’! 

Let this Panic be a wonderful blessing to do a “gut check”.

First, use this Coronavirus Panic to ask yourself this question:
