Ashiato: 5 things we've learned during the coronavirus crisis

Don’t lose focus

You may have lots of ups and downs during the lifetime of your company, especially in a situation like this, but having clear and achievable objectives will allow you and your team to stay on track.

Dare to learn

Ok, so things are moving much slower than expected, but that's not a reason to stop. Use this time to develop yourself in other areas. Sign up to a course, learn a new language or listen to that podcast you've been meaning to get around to.

Lean on your Demium family

They’re always there to support us, both as a company and as individuals. It’s inspirational to see Demium entrepreneurs from all over the world advising each other on a daily basis, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Communication is key

Now that we don't see each other every day at the office, having a good communication infrastructure inside our team is one of the keys to success. Remote working can be great, but it can also become a double-edged sword. Clearly define tasks and objectives, and keep in touch as much as possible.

Move with the times

You can either see this situation as a big problem or as an even bigger opportunity. This is a chance to approach customers in a completely new way! New fears – and therefore needs – are arising, so adapting to these demands is essential. The world is changing and, in order to succeed, you need to change right along with it.
