What is up, Childish Investors?? It's that time of the week again, where we enter the business world, curate all the shit and bring the business world to you.
Ok, we see you coming. You've all heard about the President testing positive. But this issue is about much more than a simple hospitalization!
The economy has been free-falling for months. And the way we address COVID now could single-handedly determine the shape of the economy in the upcoming months.
So… Are you ready to RUUUMBLE?
🥊 Main Event of the Week
You know what they say, never underestimate your enemies. Well, they should have specified to take extra caution with the invisible ones!
The pandemic started in February, more than 8 months ago. People are pretty much over the whole thing. Hell, if it wasn't for the fines they were exposed to, we're not sure there’d be any masks in public anymore!
But now that the President of the United States got infected, people are starting to realize: Nobody's safe from catching it.
That's not the impression we got from Trump in the first presidential debate, though. He made it clear that he wanted to open everything up, while Biden wanted to close everything down.
Biden even added an interesting point: We can't rebuild the economy until we beat COVID.
✅ Quick Overview
📌 Stepping back into the ring: Trump left Walter Reed hospital on Monday
📌 Trump signs bill to prevent a government shutdown
📌 GM extends talks on $2 billion deal with Nikola (After fraud & sexual assault allegations. Scandalous!)
📌 Tokyo Stock Exchange forced to shut down on Thursday
📌 Can we catch a break… Disney to layoff 28K employees as coronavirus strikes its theme park business
👁 Sneak peek into the future
Watch out for a second lockdown…
It's November 2020. Trump's hospitalization made him reconsider his position on COVID. But it wasn't enough for the American people.
Trump was counting on great COVID numbers and a vaccine before the elections to get reelected. But he got fucked on both fronts. What's more, he caught COVID himself! Which made a lot of Americans reconsider their position.
It was now Biden's turn to handle the pandemic. And he put a huge close sign on the entire country!
You have to give it to the man, though, the numbers did start to go down significantly this time. With more restrictions than ever, we were a couple of weeks away from getting rid of the virus for good.
But this second lockdown has been devastating for hundreds of thousands of businesses, and American households.
And granted, a few industries like Big Tech are thriving, but unemployment levels are hitting record highs.
All of this has left people at home with a lot on their hands …
Working from home has become the norm and it’s here to stay.
And while most were still trying to figure out how to get anything done, Childish Investors were slowly learning to adapt to the situation.

Managing your time as a young entrepreneur
1. Make a schedule and stick to it!
First, define your priorities. It’ll give you a clearer idea of how to allocate your time.
Second, create a color-coded schedule for your week; one color for each type of activity you usually have during the week ( school, studying, business meetings, writing emails, working on your site, working out, etc.)
Third, write down a to-do list for the day ahead, every night.

⏰ Pomodoro
2. Aim for balance in your life
Working 24/7 will lead you nowhere if it means neglecting your life in the process.
Consistency and incremental progress (all around) is what you’re aiming for here. Anything else is unsustainable.
This includes taking care of your health (7-9 hours of sleep, regular exercise, eating healthy), and making time for family, love-life, and friends.
3. Say NO & Delegate
There are far too few hours in the day and far too much to do!
Also, learn to say No to distractions!
Thanks for reading, guys. We really hope you enjoyed it! 😉
