Many of the local businesses are permanently closed.
And many industries are devastated, leaving over 100,000,000 people all over the world – jobless. According to Statista & International Labour Organization, the working hours lost in 2020 were equivalent to 255 MILLION full-time jobs.
People aren't coming in.
Governments around the world are NOT helping. And the statistics are definitely not in favor of local businesses – with 65% of them not surviving their first 10 years in business.
Now, you can look at this reality we're in and say one of these two things:

• 1This is a disaster. Everything is going down the drain. We should all just curl up, tuck tails between our legs, and wait for all this to pass.
  
• 2The world really is in chaos. Businesses are facing huge problems. This means there are some amazing opportunities to bring solutions to these businesses, help them, and make money as a result.
