🔥 No, we are not closed and we don't have to due to making money in the online space. 🔥
But we certainly would be if we were a physical business and we were told too in line with COVID19 guidelines
I had physical businesses for 15 years, I would be lying if I said that I wasn't creative in some of the ways I got around certain restrictions to generate business.
Having said this I have never broken the law because I have the most utmost respect for it. Without laws and regulations, the country would be in a very poor state.
Earlier today I saw a local cafe open and serving customers within their premises. The previous day they had been hit with a £200 fine and a notice for the council. Despite this, they are still open today and serving customers within their premises.
I encourage people to be creative in their businesses, as a business owner this a massive part of what we love to do. Having the freedom to think outside the box
🤮However, for me, this doesn't mean that you can go against government guidelines. These guidelines have been put in place to keep people safe, prevent infection, and ultimately get us to a place where we can return to our day to day lives.
I know that businesses are being hit hard during the lockdown and this is placing people's livelihoods at risk. As business owners, we have a moral duty to keep our communities and customers safe.
Everyone has their own personal views on COVID19 and the restrictions. Sometimes you have to put your own personal views aside to look out for others, no matter how strong these views may be. Those that are not doing this in my eyes should not be in business.
🎯As business owners, we need to be exploiting technologies, services, and partnerships to get our products to customers. For me, this is the fun part of being an entrepreneur.
Those businesses that have been forward-thinking in taking their physical businesses online and offering deliveries are the ones that will be here for the long term.
