2020 was probably the saddest year for all of us.

Even if you weren’t directly affected by the pandemic (although that would make you pretty lucky because I think for the first time since I remember, everyone was affected negatively even if indirectly), but – even if you feel like you weren’t – well so much bad stuff was happening all around you that your daily life just wasn’t the same.

Social interaction became limited, there was lockdown in most big countries in the world and everyone was stuck at home, any of your loved ones could actually get the virus at any moment and you yourself needed to be careful not to spread it without knowing.

This is our new normal now and people can be divided into a few groups. 

Those who were so affected that survival became their main thing – and let me say this – if you’re listening to a motivational podcast on business growth like this one – you’re blessed. 

Then there’s the people who lost their job, weren’t motivated to do anything, became antisocial, indulged in all lazy and unhealthy habits possible, and watched the news and complained.

Then, there’s the people who were okay with it and focused on their families, hobbies and work.

Another category includes the entrepreneurs whose businesses were in the right niche or who pivoted strategically so they grew their revenue and reach more than ever.

And last but not least, there’s 1 pretty awesome type of people – the ones who saw the opportunity 2020 provided, with all the stay-at-home time, remote work and education, courses and coaching at your fingertips, and they said, “This is it. This is the year I will invest in myself and build something online.”

So, maybe they took a course and followed all the steps. If they already had a hobby that they knew could be monetized or wanted to do what they did at their regular job but for themselves this time, or maybe they started from scratch and followed their intuition to start a business on a topic they are passionate about serving the audience that needs to hear what they have to say.

Or maybe they read so much about this, whether it’s a blogging business, being an influencer, having a podcast, writing a book or teaching something online, and took the steps necessary to get the business off the ground and started growing their audience, building an email list and getting better at marketing.

If you’re one of these people, congrats girl. You’re amazing. You create even more opportunities and can help other women with the work you do, the value you create in the world and the services or products you provide.
