overcoming setbacks

The Copeland household finally got hit with Covid. This is not how we planned to start the year, but…it happened. 

Luckily for us, we didn’t get major respiratory issues and didn’t need hospitalization. 

This is an important episode as the Covid cases are skyrocketing here in California and the entire country. Many people have their travel plans disrupted or canceled. It’s easy to get angry or even bitter at this situation. 

However, we share our story and how we pushed through to encourage you in whatever situation you are in. It might be Covid or another setback you are facing, but it will all come to pass. 

We are not always in control, even with the best-laid plans. Rather than being angry when things don't turn out how we wanted, it’s better to surrender to what is not in your control. 

For business owners, if Covid hasn’t already impacted you, chances are that it soon will. We share some good tips on how to push through when this happens.
