Do you know anyone that lost a business during Covid and managed to rebuild? My best friend lost his business in 2020. He had it for 20 years, was always on top of his game, and one single virus came along and destroyed everything he built. Trying to encourage him to try rebuilding.

My neighbor's business almost went into bankruptcy during the pandemic. His kids who are in their early 20's started posting content on social media and slowly got sales back and stayed afloat until we got back to normal. It didn't have a triumphant return, but to have avoided having to shut down for good is enough.

I know of many, many who closed and went bankrupt, but I know only one who had the courage to reopen his business, and little by little he has established himself again, he is a cake factory.

This is my case, but despite trying a lot, it has not been easy and if you add to this the problem of the recession that we are experiencing, I am about to throw in the towel, I am really open to receiving encouragement to stay in the game.
