“I’ve laid off my staff and rebuilding my business the way I’ve always wanted to.”
“I’m planning to grow now.”

“I’m going to start manufacturing to replace my dead service business.”
“This’ll pass and everything will go back to the way it was because we never learn.”
“I think everyone is overreacting.”
“I know I have to pivot, but I’m not sure to what.”
“We’re all online now, aren’t we?”
“I want to sell and quit, but who’s going to buy it now?”
“I need to be my best now, because my people will remember how I’ve behaved during this.”
“I’ve never been so uncertain and scared.”
