As we all go on big time lockdown across Ontario, Canada and most of the world, small businesses and solopreneurs like myself enter the biggest unknown of our lives. Our incomes have vanished, our projects and homes are on the line and it’s terrifying.

I know that I am sat here racking my brains over what I can do to help other small businesses around me, is there anything I can do to help their businesses keep on track and not crumble during this time of uncertainty? Because if there is I’ll be the first to do it. I’ll be the first to put my hand up and jump in and jump on board with anything and everything to help you out.

Now is not the time for competition. Now is the time for community, a time to band together to support one another.

And here’s what we can all do…

Think of 10 businesses you’ve used recently, then do these steps for each one:

  • FOUR - Pick the next business and do the same 3 steps
