Today's video is from Jon Gordon. He is the author of 20 books, including The Coffee Bean, The No Complaining Rule, and my favorite, The Energy Bus. When I wrote to him to ask if he would make a video for us for Small Business Week, he thought his recent video would be perfect - How to Adapt and Thrive Right Now, from his recent Positivity Summit.
This video is about having a good mindset and embracing change to thrive. I hope it brings some positivity and motivation to your week. To find out more about Jon Gordon you can visit his website at https://www.jongordon.com/ |
Today's Small Business Week Video comes from Collette Schults, a tech-savvy New Lisbon resident. She shows us how to make a google form that can be emailed out or put onto your website or Facebook page. It is a simple and free way to create a form that would work great for online ordering. If you have any questions or want to connect to Collette, you can contact her at infovdos@yahoo.com or 608 853 1435.
