If you’re a small business owner like me, you’re probably still reeling. On January 20, 2020, the U.S. had one confirmed case of coronavirus, COVID-19. On March 31, 2020, Goldman Sachs projected a 34% decline in U.S. GDP, the size of our overall economy, in Q2 2020 and a 15% unemployment rate in just over two months1.
What do we do now?
We work the problem. We prioritize and execute. We small business owners, you and I, are facing unprecedented hurdles as a community, but we also have access to unprecedented resources from Congress, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury.
For over three decades, I have been training, studying and preparing for this moment in history: Two degrees, three licenses and designations, over a dozen seminars and conferences, hundreds and hundreds of hours of continuing education, nearly 1,000 relationships with small business owners and their families, and over 10,000 tax returns and tax plans for small business owners personally prepared.
You are not alone.
I’m ready to walk through this with you. And I’ve put together a checklist, a list of resources and relief options available to you to get us started.
