It can be tough to keep your head on straight when life seems to be crumbling down around you. The financial crash of 2018/2019 was a tough time for many entrepreneurs. COVID has been very difficult for many entrepreneurs. Notwithstanding the difficult moments an entrepreneur might find themselves in, a new normal always sets in after a downturn.

Over the past few weeks, announcements have been made by movie theatres detailing the increase in revenue from tickets sales that appear to confirm what many of us already know which is people want to get back to their lives and put COVID behind them.

Imagine being an entrepreneur running a movie theatre over the past year or so. Circumstances looked pretty hopeless and there was no indication of when (or if) your business would ever return. If you were opportunistic, you may have found a way to barely hang on and can now benefit from the grit it took to wait out the downturn. If you were not optimistic, hopefully you closed your business as quickly as possible and are now in a position to make back the money that you lost. A new normal is currently being established.
