Get Out and
Do Something
God didn’t create us to be couch
potatoes. He doesn’t want us to
vegetate or hibernate all of our
lives. He made us to be active. He
wants us to work and play and eat
and drink and then rest. After three
or more months cooped up inside, our urge
to get outside is just too much. Activities that
have been approved in whatever stage we
are in are booming. Golf participation has
increased by 50% on some courses. Our golf
group has had make a tee time to insure that
we can get on our course during these post
pandemic peak days. Hiking, camping, RV
travel and anything that can be done
with minimal socialization are all
popular. Just as exercise is good
for our bodies, recreation is good
for both our physical and mental
fitness. We need to get away from
the day to day worldly problems.
Yes, I might be advocating escaping.
Leaving our worries and anxieties
behind us for a while and enjoying
the outdoors without our phones,
computers and televisions is one of
the best things we can do. We must realize
that we can not solve the world’s problems,
so why not be the person that God wants us
to be in our little worlds? The things that we
can control are our emotions, thoughts, and
actions. The simple acts of concern, care and
love for other people that are around us can

Pandemic Spurs Innovation For
Small- To Mid-Sized Businesses
(BPT) - As COVID-19 continues to disrupt
normal day-to-day operations of small- to midsized
businesses and nearly half of the U.S.
workforce hangs in the balance, employers are
taking creative measures to reset their go-tomarket
strategies and offerings. By changing
their operations to meet the demands of their
customers, businesses can not only stay relevant
but keep their staff employed and thrive in the
new economy.
This pandemic offers business owners,
investors and solopreneurs the opportunity to
take a critical look at their overall business
model, offerings and operations and reset
the entire business structure, creating new
opportunities to serve and prevail. This is the
perfect time to explore new legal solutions to
the most common business obstacles to help
companies preserve and protect their brands
and prosper for generations to come. There
are great examples of resets happening within
many industries.
With the pandemic closing summer camps
throughout the country, ACA-accredited Adventure
Links, a 23-year-old summer camp
in Virginia, has found a way to replace its
usual summer adventure camp programs with
The CampCloud(TM), an experiential online
alternative. The company is now offering its
virtual camping programs to individuals and
employers to assist employees working from
home by keeping their kids engaged, learning
and delighted all day from virtually anywhere.
The program is being offered to other camps as
a customizable, online option for their campers.
Ensuring the health and safety of employers
when stay-at-home orders are lifted, and
business resumes, is critical. Thanks to a team
of entrepreneurs, Disinfect & Shield(TM), an
FDA-registered, EPA-approved and eco-friendly
disinfectant used in surgical suites for the last
decade, is now available to businesses worldwide
to kill SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes
COVID-19 and other dangerous organisms. It
works by creating a permanent anti-microbial
shield, preventing the virus from attaching to
surfaces where it has been applied without risk
to humans, animals or crops. With Disinfect
& Shield(TM), employees, customers and
visitors can feel safe knowing that their space
has been properly disinfected and treated for
optimum health and safety.
Clint Coons, founder of Anderson Business
Advisors, offers 5 financing and entity
creation tips to help entrepreneurs and small
business owners:
• Know how to use loans: CARES Act loans
have specific guidelines like having to use
at least 60% of the loan within 24 weeks of
receipt for payroll expenses. Concerned that
money would dry up, many small business
owners applied with no way of utilizing them
because their business cannot reopen under
the strict guidelines imposed on the industry.
• Alternate cash sources: Borrow from a
401(k) or IRA to keep businesses afloat, as
it does not need to be paid back for at least
3-6 years. However, pulling money out of a
retirement plan comes with some risk, such
as if the business does not see profitability,
then retirement funds were wasted on a failed
business venture.
• Beware of increasing liabilities: Because
insurance will not cover claims brought under
COVID, reopening comes with risk and business
owners are wondering how they will operate
under strict COVID-19 related guidelines and
