Get Your Digital House in Order by Pam Perry

 

Have you noticed the shift that’s been happening? Because of the pandemic – and thanks to smartphones and fast internet access – more and more of our interaction is happening online (although it’s been like that for a while now, you just can’t ignore it anymore – it’s a way of life).

This pandemic has been a boom for some businesses and created fresh opportunities for others, even as it’s wrecked entire industries. If you take a close look, you’ll see that the people who are thriving and surviving are the ones who have gone digital.

Here’s the truth: Whether you have a digital business, a brick-and-mortar business, a regular job, or have retired to the beach, you have to take some part in our world’s digital transformation or you’re going to get left behind.

It’s time to pivot, change, level up, transform, adapt, and lean in with the right mindset and a strategy for moving forward.
