How the coronavirus pandemic affects your business, and how are you coping?

Gulrez Alam: COVID-19 spread is emotionally challenging for many people, changing day-to-day life in unusual ways. All sections of society suffered a great loss economically and mentally too. My website suffered a great loss as the number of visitors became less than before. We somehow managed ourselves by sharing motivational videos and giving them updates, highlighting their importance.

Physical activity and relaxation techniques can be valuable tools to help you remain calm and continue to protect your health, and during this time, it also helps in planning new business strategies. This can help you cope up.

Did you have to make difficult choices, and what are the lessons learned?

Gulrez Alam: I’ve imagined a lot – what is it that will come out of all this? Equality! This circumstance has shown us that we are all the same regardless of our religion, culture, customs, whether we are poor or rich. The virus simply does not choose. 

There is an old saying, ‘there is good in every evil’ that I will now use as a tiny consolation in this difficult, unexpected time. It is hard dealing with this situation, and to everyone who is reading this and feeling helpless, I just want to tell you that you are not alone, and it will be better!

Taking care of yourself is something so underrated nowadays. Whether due to a lack of time or due to too much stress in everyday life or for whatever reason, people don’t devote enough time to themselves. While in isolation, I’ve had a lot of time thinking and realizing that actually taking care of myself is one thing that makes me happy. I mean little things that I believe are available to everyone. These little things are actually the ones that help me find myself.

How do you deal with stress and anxiety, how do you project yourself and Teamology Softech in the future?

Gulrez Alam: To deal with anxiety and stress, one should always do regular exercise. It is one of the most important things you can do to combat stress. Consider supplements that promote stress and anxiety reduction, Light a candle, Reduce your caffeine intake, Spend time with friends and family, and most importantly, laugh out loud.

To prepare yourself for the future of work.

Gulrez Alam: Build your network. People who are well connected are often more energetic and positive than those who are isolated. Establish your Company identity, by encouraging continuous education and doing regular research, By Improving your own social skills.

Who are your competitors? And how do you plan to stay in the game?

Gulrez Alam: There are many competitors, but I won’t be taking anybody’s name out there. I just stay focused. I create evangelists and not just customers. I got involved and choose wisely. I learned how to handle competition in business. I understand the competition and Look after your existing customers, Targeted new markets. Expand my new offer.

Your final thoughts?

Gulrez Alam: Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. If you find yourself in a little mid-week or mid-day slump, take a few moments to re-energize yourself with motivation. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. Sometimes, all it takes is a little reminder to boost your spirits and refocus your day.
