The outbreak of the coronavirus has left small business owners with many questions and we will try to answer some of them today #workinprogress

With your experiences working with SMES, how would you summarize the impact of the COVID-19 virus on businesses to date? What is your take on the current outlook? @nneninja @DewunmiAlugbin #workinprogress #ImpactSMEs

Many thanks to @DewunmiAlugbin and @nneninja for taking time to discuss on the topic ‘Surviving a Pandemic: Building & Sustaining resilient businesses post pandemic/Covid-19’ with us today! #workinprogress

#workinprogress #learning ‘This period presents an opportunity for SMEs to unlearn, relearn and learn so they can face what’s ahead of them. @anif003 @EDC4SME @oxfaminnigeria @obianujuegenti

@oxfaminnigeria @DewunmiAlugbin Covid is real and SMEs need to live with it. This however requires a mindset shift and they can’t ‘wait for it to be over’. They need to rethink everything while communicating with their stakeholders. #workinprogress @EDC4SME @anif003

@oxfaminnigeria @DewunmiAlugbin #Finance For biz in Nigeria we are lucky as the FGN thru @cenbank set up a Covid fund that can be accessed via @nirsalconnect. Funds have single digit rates, moratorium and early stage can access. @oxfaminnigeria @bamkybaba @anif003 @obianujuegenti

@DewunmiAlugbin @nneninja . Thank you both for sharing in-depth perspectives. Some businesses clearly have a reduction in their income. In the short term, how can businesses source for funding and avoid layoffs? #workinprogress #CovidResilientSMEs

@oxfaminnigeria @DewunmiAlugbin SMEs have been impacted 1st around their processes, people and profit. So many could not produce, sell and a whole lot struggling to pay salaries. They need to look at their biz model again. #ImpactSMEs #workinprogress @EDC4SME @anif003 @suleimana

@oxfaminnigeria Nigeria @EDC4SME @haleemar_ ‘The pandemic has shown us how we can do so much more with less’ Major mindset shifts across board. @AudreyJEzigbo @Dewunmialugbin

"Just be kind, open your heart. ... That's what we need in this world." When a boy with autism was overwhelmed on the first day of school, another little boy held his hand. The moment was captured in a photo that's gone viral. cnn.it/2zGEwAy

The impossible can only be achieved by those people that are willing to make the attempt.

Always ask yourself daily, what i have i done differently today that has Impacted somebody else's life. These are life's little blessings

Don’t do tomorrow what you know should be done today. #quotes

. JESUS Made the Lame walk and the Dumb talk He opened blinded Eyes to see That the Sun rise on His time He knows our deepest desperate need The World waits while His heart aches To realize the dream I wonder what Life would be Like if we Let JESUS Live thru you & me .

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Sometimes we sit in denial. Because when God shows us our enemies they are right in our circle, Don't deny the truth!

The only person that can stop you is you. If you let your mistakes define you, if you wear the labels people stick on you, if you believe the lies of the accuser, then that will keep you from your destiny.

When fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer. Fear is a feeling that has only the power we give it. You can feel fear and still do anything you know you need to do, even if you “do it afraid”. #YourBattles #JoyceQuote

There are things that should have stopped you, but you’re still standing. You’re still blessed. You’re still happy. You’re still victorious.

Anytime God seems to have put you in a position where there is no way you can win your battles, remember Gideon and go forward even if you feel afraid, knowing that the real battle belongs to the Lord. #YourBattles #JoyceQuote
