The lockdown has caused many frustrating things to happen, and today Rob discusses one of the most infuriating things to happen in the business world since before lockdown. Many people have been criticising small businesses for promoting their services during the pandemic. Rob discusses why stopping the promotion of these businesses would have an even bigger detrimental impact on the economy and how you can help support other entrepreneurs.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Something frustrating that has been happening online since the lockdown began, is people who use their platforms to slate millionaires, billionaires and entrepreneurs. Many people vented online that they believed that it was unacceptable for people to be selling during the lockdown as people were dying. This attitude is not how you get out of a recession, if the economy stops, then the world stops.    Without small businesses and entrepreneurs, there would be no economy. Virtually all of the public sector is funded by the private sector. As entrepreneurs, you create tax revenues, employees, national insurance and VAT. However, there have been many people complaining about people pitching during the pandemic.     If there is no selling, creation of products or a fair exchange environment where entrepreneurs are able to make a fair profit then not only does the economy die, but so does the entire supply chain. All the amenities and survival-based products and services that we need will diminish.    People should be supporting start-up businesses, entrepreneurs and small business owners. If you see a small business owner under attack on social media for promoting their services, then go in and support them and defend them. Promote their business on your page to get them some more exposure. We need to have each others backs.    BEST MOMENTS  “Believe you me, the economy underpins everything, even the supply chains and us just getting our basic amenities. Nothing moves until business owners sell products and services”   “People need to stop bashing people who sell stuff, who create a product or service.”   “The big business owner starts as a small business owner. The ‘scale-up’ starts as a ‘start-up’. The millionaire and the billionaire start with zero.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
