Over the last few weeks, we’ve watched our world change. We all heard the warnings and had some idea of what our futures had in store, but I don’t think any of us really understood how profoundly this would impact us individually or collectively as an industry, nor how quickly. This month (and I suppose for many more months to come) the content here will be geared towards learning how to navigate the COVID economy.

• The Early Access article (COVID-19: Coming to Terms With Our New Economic Reality) we take an honest, straightforward look at our situation.
• In Troubleshooting Your Salon you’ll learn how to identify problem areas and increase your margins.
• Many parents have suddenly become homeschool teachers. The Social Distancing and Homeschooling Survival Guide contains a ton of information for the parents who have suddenly become reluctant homeschoolers, including the websites, apps, activities, movies, shows, books, games, and podcasts I personally recommend. I’ve also included links to a few legitimate work-from-home sites that my husband and I have vetted ourselves.
