How to Profit from Calamity

When shit hits the fan, some thoughts.

First of all, figure out how you can benefit from the calamity. For example right now a lot of us cannot leave our home. How can we benefit from this scenario? Perhaps you can use this time to NOT get distracted. To be more focused. To become MORE PRODUCTIVE. Or to work on your side-hustle/website while you’re at home, without having your boss look over your shoulder.

Use the calamity to reflect on your life

When shit hits the fan, we can take a step back and reflect on our life. To re-evaluate our lives, and for what and for whom we live.

The opportunity to think, reflect, and create.

Right now is the best time for you to profit from the chaos in the world.

For example,

Consider all the people who are spending more time indoors. Finally your chance to start your own YouTube channel, website/blog, and to create information, blog posts, videos that others will love!
New frontiers for digital learning. Jump on the e-learning bandwagon! Opportunities for distance working, distance commuting, and online collaboration tools.
Difficulty is what awakens our inner-genius: When shit gets hard, this is what actually gives us the opportunity to awaken our inner-genius.
Treat every difficulty as a blessing. This is the only way to become stronger.
