Small Business Brainstorm: A Meeting of the Minds to Chat Through the State of Being a Biz OWner

COVID-19 has changed all of our lives in the blink of an eye—socially, emotionally, physically, and certainly financially.

In times of crisis, businesses are put to the test—supply chains are disrupted and profit margins are compromised. But if there’s one industry that has been impacted the most, it’s small business—they are the lifeblood of our economy and need our help now more than ever.

The Shelter at Home policy has seen all our favorite restaurants, fitness studios, salons, and boutiques close shop across the country. These businesses are the backbone of our country, and we need to support them the best way we can. In times of great uncertainty, success comes down to how we shift and respond. So, we partnered with Mastercard for some #Realtalk on how to pivot confidently and securely with tools and resources available to get through this unprecedented time. Many small businesses are quickly adapting to the “new norm” and this powerful and inspiring group of women are here to remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.
