“What do you do when you’re an entrepreneur, small business owner and a world-wide pandemic strikes? As a wife, a mother of four, a grandmother of four, and a business owner, I’ve experienced plenty of hurdles and challenges in life, just like many other people. You learn to expect the unexpected; but a pandemic that no one has ever seen or experienced before, how do you navigate that? For me, it was all about learning how to pivot, adapt, and think differently. Each challenge, as it presented itself, was a way for me to think differently than I had in the past, to adapt my business to what was now my new reality, and to pivot my process moving forward. I learned a lot about my business, myself, the level of support I had in my arsenal, and my community. -Maria”
