Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> As the world heads back to a post pandemic normal, more people find themselves wondering about getting ahead of the new status quo.As we move forward, once again many people are realizing (again) the future is uncertain. Just like security was a big concern after 9/11, corporate wellness is going to be a huge topic moving forward. Corporations, being the relatively static entities they are, prefer to have all their ducks in a row. The more predictable the future is, the better they look to their investors.So one would think that part of the new status quo is going to be maintaining a healthy workplace and workforce. Is a business capable of properly reacting to potential future waves of this (and other) diseases? For us creative entrepreneur types, we know that with uncertainty comes big opportunity. So that's why in the last couple of months, my business partners and I have been working on starting a wellness consulting business.If the corporations want to go digging for gold ( in wellness), then we're more than happy to help them find the tools they need.Even if you don't have the expertise to capitalize directly on the new status quo, there will be more than enough room for to indirectly capitalize on it.For example, perhaps you're an artist.
