In today’s podcast, join Rob as he discusses how to handle the stresses of lockdown 3.0 and how you can create a new income from the comfort of your own home. Rob discusses how you can stay positive during lockdown by cultivating your social media network and friendships to ensure you remain upbeat. He also shares his top tips to homeschooling and discusses how you can turn the information in your head into income in your bank account.   KEY TAKEAWAYS How do you stay positive in the lockdown, when the world isn’t? Firstly, you need to cultivate your social media feeds, curate your friendships very carefully and be careful of the media and influencers you put in your head. You must protect your energy. We are programmed to be more attuned to negativity so you have to take control and ensure negativity does not take over your mindset.   Whilst raising kids is rewarding, it can at times, be very hard. It is even harder during lockdown whilst having to juggle home schooling. A top tip to make things slightly easier would be to batch the times in the day such as before they wake up in the morning, where you can get some work done. You can only do what you can do and remember not to beat yourself up if you can’t do anymore.   Nothing is all good, and nothing's all bad. If you’re feeling depressed it is because you are only seeing the downsides of the lockdown, however if you were to look at the upsides such as long walks, more time at home or potential new business ventures you may see a light at the end of the tunnel. If you think about what you’re grateful for, how your future could be changed for the better and where the opportunities are then you will lift yourself out of the depression quite quickly.   There is good and bad in every situation and in every day. We tend to make one thing, everything, meaning if one thing goes wrong we believe everything has gone wrong. However this is not always the case. Whilst one or two things may have gone wrong during your day, not everything went wrong. Reflect on what went well and your mindset will change.  However, when everything is seemingly all good, remember there are likely to be challengers as well.   There are many different business models that are working well in lockdown. For those who are starting a whole new business, e-commerce is thriving during the pandemic. Platforms such as Shopify, Amazon and Etsy are a brilliant way to get your products sold online. An even less risky strategy of that business model is to sell information virtually. Turn the information in your head into income in your bank account.   BEST MOMENTS “I’m only having one conversation a day about The Government, Boris or Lockdown.” “You must protect your energy.” “Surround yourself in positive audiobooks and positive Clubhouses, listening to positive podcasts around positive people.
