According to a U.S. Chamber.com article, "Despite Coronavirus, it's a great time to start a business.

All of which emphasizes the fact that are entrepreneurs are a self-sufficient and determined breed.
According to that same source, if you're thinking about starting your business, here are 3 reasons why now would be the time to do so:

With a tighter financing environment, startups need to bootstrap more than ever and here are some suggestions they suggested:
There is much availability of talent for start-ups, as of June 9, 2020 when their article was written, as 43 million Americans have filed for unemployment & many are looking for jobs.

2 TESTS TO CONSIDER IF YOU'RE STILL NOT SURE THAT YOU SHOULD START A BUSINESS
Each test listed below can have an *optional* consulting session after reviewing your results & developing your questions & emailing to me PRIOR to our scheduled phone call & is available at a rate of $2 per minute plus a 4% + .15 debit/credit card processing fee. So, for example, if we consulted for 20 minutes, that'd be $40 with the debit/credit card processing fee it'd be $41.75. You would provide me your card information over the phone at the conclusion of our call similar to how you place a pizza order over the phone, I do not write down your card information just input it into my card processor account online.
Test #1: Should you start a business? This is a 25 question "Yes" or "No" test in which you select either "Yes" or "No" to each question & can be taken anywhere you have email & working internet access.
The test is $91.67 which includes sales tax that goes to Department of Revenue & includes the small debit/credit card processing fee so that I can net my actual fee.
