We’re entering week number three of self-isolation, and with everything that’s been going on in the world lately, it’s perfectly normal to feel worried. It’s also okay to feel confused, scared, or anxious. These are all natural, human reactions during times of crisis.
All industries have been affected in some way, and credit repair is no exception. But moments of crisis such as this one, are also inevitably followed by massive opportunities. And if you can reframe the situation we’re in, you could start thinking about how to spend this time more constructively.
Yes, these are crazy times, and they’ll bound to stir up a rainbow of negative emotions. But you can’t let them overwhelm you to a point where you feel like you’re hopeless - because you’re not. Far from it!
So for today, I’m going to do my best to nudge you into thinking about the current situation through a more optimistic lens.
Last week, I found myself in a weird situation. Living, working, and doing pretty much everything else in self-quarantine was really starting to get me. I woke up one morning, but instead of doing what I would typically do, I unexpectedly drifted away from my routine.
Instead of showering and shaving like I usually do, I put on my robe and decided I would have breakfast first. After that, I got so caught up watching the morning news - I ended up pushing my work even further back. And before I knew it, the entire day had passed, and I was still in my robe, binge-watching Tiger King all day. I was feeling sad, depressed, and I didn’t get any work done.
It’s very easy to get consumed by negativity these days. You don’t have to go far to find heartbreaking stories that will shake you to your core. People everywhere are suffering, and it’s in your nature to empathize. Then again, you’re not doing anyone any good if you’re passing the time sitting around doing nothing.

Straying from my routine was the worst thing I could’ve possibly done. So the next day, I got up early, pretended like it was any other workday, and acted as such. And not only did I get a whole bunch of things done, but I was feeling way better too.
So if you’re struggling to keep your productivity up working from home, I suggest you try to do the same. Stick to your routine. Dress like you would if you were heading to the office. Create a to-do list, and ignore the distractions.
You’re going to need your productivity because, in times like these, even though some doors are closing, new ones are opening up every single day.
Whenever there’s a crisis, people find new ways to pick themselves up and do awesome things. During the last Great Recession of 2008, I was able to create my Credit Repair Cloud software. And what we’re currently dealing with will have an even greater impact on how we do business. So imagine what you’ll be able to do now if you start responding to opportunities that are being created.

Even though some industries have it real rough, I have to say - it’s a great time to be doing credit repair. First off, the mortgage industry is booming at the moment. And whenever their numbers are up, ours start to rise right along with them. If you’re running a home-based credit repair business, you’re probably already starting to feel it.
Second, because of massive layoffs and businesses closing down, people’s credit scores are going to drop during this period. They’re all going to need your help in getting them back up again.
In days that follow, people will need help with their desperately need credit repair. And if you’re serious about changing people’s lives with your work, now’s the time to do it.
If self-quarantine is making you feel itchy and you’re out of ideas what you should do, don’t worry. I’m here with my list of top suggestions on how you can be more constructive with your time.
