Pre & Post Covi19: Lessons Learnt

 


As the world was brought to its knees in 2020 by the #covid19 epidemic, my business was worse hit. From flight cancellations to refund requests to delayed airline refunds, then there is the case of credit gone bad and debtors refusing to pay anything till date and finally zero travel request during the world wide lockdowns. I dare say the travel business was worse hit.


On the flip side, I had a good 6months to bond with my wife and children, but being a man, I had to worry about the financial implications of an uncertain travel future. Feeding, internet, power and ensuring education for the children were key during the lockdown.


In January 2021, I made up my mind to learn something new. Something that would ensure income whether the world was in lockdown or not. So I enrolled for Forex Trading. I spent a good 3 months learning Currency and then I dabbled into Indices Trading and that was where I struck gold.


It has been an amazing experience for me as I am focused on grooming a targeted 500 youths this year on forex trading.


It does has its ups and downs and yes it is a money market so you are either making or loosing money.


As the world moves towards a #postcovid19 era, and with all the push for vaccination and the incumbent fears of pessimist and fear mongers, I look towards a better world as borders are opened. The world needs to reconnect but we need to join hands to reduce the spread and mutations of the covid virus.


In all, we owe it to ourselves to improve ourselves. We had time to be better. As the world staggers economically, I do hope and pray that we have improved upon ourselves enough as to be at a point of advantage.


Till we meet again, keep winning.
