The best in any field of endeavor are masters at identifying and responding to unexpected situations. Being nimble means you can pivot on a dime and take action. Take, for example, the kids of your best clients. Those in the 12th grade have had their graduation plans upended. No gowns, no prom, no ceremony. How about those in college or university? Final exams written at home with anticlimactic fanfare. Why not send those kids a beautiful card to pay tribute to their accomplishment? And life goes on. Birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones and life events have been celebrated virtually recently. Why not respond tangibly with a beautiful Lavish Card. You can also consider sending a copy of The Richest Man in Babylon - a great book for young adults embarking on a road to financial independence. Either way, while others watch things happen, be the one who makes things happen. Strengthening a relationship with a family can be achieved by bringing value to the next generation. And you also get to dig your well before you're thirsty. Use this downtime to catch up on your reading, visit: Duncan's Recommended Reading: paretosystems.com/recommended-reading
