Hello wealthy authors! Welcome to this week’s edition of our wealthy author’s digest.

As you are all aware, the world has been gripped by the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and as such, communities across the world have had to adjust to unprecedented realities.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19 and those grappling to come to terms with this new reality.

Print Doctor Africa is committed to continuing our work of supporting and celebrating old and new authors.

As we monitor the situation, it is clear to see that small businesses and entrepreneurs will no doubt be affected greatly by this outbreak.

A lot of entreprenuers are panic driven but this will pass too! There is a thin line between worrying and strategic thinking…a worried mind cannot strategically tap into the new wave of opportunities that stare us.

Now more than ever we are tasked with the responsibility of showing up and supporting our network of authors with valuable tips to make the best of this situation.

As we continue to respond to the rapidly changing situation, we’ll keep sharing updates, resources, and stories on facebook and Instagram (@printdoctorafrica). We urge everyone to keep safe and keep showing up for those around you.

There is no disputing that entrepreneurs are some of the most resilient people and will no doubt, in most instances, find a way to navigate themselves and their businesses out of the most trying circumstances.

However, this current crisis is like no other faced by business owners in recent years, and it’s certainly overwhelming trying to tackle all of the unique issues it brings with it. So, the question is where do you start? How do you decide what to prioritise solving for? How can you turn this to your advantage?
