00:00:00.240 So I got some good news right here I'm going to show you in a minute where you're going to get pretty excited about.
00:00:03.920 It's going to show us, it's going to give us a feeling of hope and excitement that the future looks bright.
00:00:08.800 But prior to doing this, do you know last year, this week, was when we announced coronavirus as a pandemic.
00:00:16.820 Last year, this week, is when the NBA shut down.
00:00:20.080 Last year, this week, is when Disney World shut down, Universal Studios shut down.
00:00:23.960 Last year, this week, is when you heard all these stories about Rudy Gobert.
00:00:26.860 They're, everything, and everybody remembers exactly where they were at last year, this week, when that took place.
00:00:33.380 I was at Beverly Hills Hilton with my wife and my three kids and my nanny when the shutdown came and my board meeting was canceled.
00:00:39.800 And everybody was afraid.
00:00:41.760 And then we flew back to Dallas and I took the family home.
00:00:45.400 I came to the office and I said, let me see what I'm going to be doing next and doing my own research.
00:00:50.180 Remember what we felt a year ago?
00:00:51.720 We felt uncertainty.
00:00:53.120 We felt fear.
00:00:54.100 We didn't know what was going to take place.
00:00:55.560 We were sitting there because there was a group of people saying, this is not real.
00:00:59.000 There was a group of people saying, this is real.
00:01:00.940 There's a group of people that said, oh my gosh, this can be like Spanish.
00:01:03.360 What if this thing spreads?
00:01:05.060 And everybody's like, oh, I just watched a movie the other day.
00:01:07.380 You know, the movie I watched.
00:01:09.660 What if it is that deadly?
00:01:11.340 What if it is that bad?
00:01:12.320 And then somebody would sneeze next to you like, oh my gosh, you okay?
00:01:15.920 Hey, can you please not touch me?
00:01:17.180 No, no, no.
00:01:17.560 Do you remember the level of paranoia we had when we were going through this mess ourselves
00:01:22.800 a year ago?
00:01:24.200 Okay.
00:01:25.140 Fast forward to today.
00:01:27.560 This data here I'm going to show you is from TSA's website.
00:01:32.100 And it shows how many people flew yesterday on March 11th versus last year, March 11th
00:01:40.980 on 2020.
00:01:42.180 And here's what the numbers are.
00:01:43.940 Yesterday, 1.284 million people flew yesterday, March 11th, Thursday.
00:01:51.440 Year ago, same exact day, 1.702 million people flew.
00:01:56.320 The gap is less than 500,000 people.
00:02:01.480 It's 420-something thousand people is the gap on what it was last year versus what it
00:02:07.220 is today.
00:02:08.080 What does that mean to you?
00:02:09.220 As the gap gets tighter and we flip and more people are traveling than a year ago and then
00:02:14.480 more people are traveling than 2019, that means people are going back to living a normal
00:02:20.080 life, right?
00:02:22.100 I've been traveling a lot lately and I can tell you airports are packed.
00:02:25.560 We went to Hawaii, I was at Miami, I was at Dallas airport, I was at LAX.
00:02:30.160 We had folks yesterday at Las Vegas telling me they've never seen it at this pack.
00:02:33.700 I'm getting videos.
00:02:34.920 Couldn't believe how packed it was in Las Vegas with people traveling, taking pictures, saying,
00:02:39.440 man, I'm so glad to see people and human beings.
00:02:42.300 So we're getting back on track, which means what?
00:02:45.080 Hope is coming back.
00:02:47.020 The level of fear where we were at is dropping a little bit.
00:02:49.720 People are willing to get back to it faster.
00:02:52.360 But what does that mean to you and business?
00:02:53.880 Here's what it means to you and I in business.
00:02:56.480 See, there's still going to be people that are going to be afraid.
00:03:00.360 Some of them are afraid because they have a valid reason to be afraid.
00:03:03.320 Let's just say they're 68 years old and they have bronchitis, not bronchitis, they have
00:03:07.280 breathing issues or they have asthma.
00:03:09.300 And so they're worried.
00:03:10.120 What if I do catch it?
00:03:11.300 I have to be careful.
00:03:12.340 Fine.
00:03:12.720 I totally get it.
00:03:14.100 But there's going to be some that are still not going to get back into the market.
00:03:18.020 And I'm telling you right now, the level of surge we're about to see in the next 3, 6,
00:03:23.420 12 months of excitement of people working together again.
00:03:27.240 For many, it's going to take a year or two until things get back to normal.
00:03:30.620 But you're going to close your eyes.
00:03:32.400 You're going to open your eyes.
00:03:34.080 Everyone's back at the events.
00:03:36.080 You know, Dallas just announced right now that the major league seat, you know, when the
00:03:39.640 Texas Rangers start the season, it's 100%, meaning 100% of seats can be watched in their
00:03:44.780 Texas Rangers game.
00:03:45.840 And you're going to see people across the country follow Texas and they follow Florida.
00:03:50.160 More and more and more states are going to say, how come Texas is open?
00:03:54.120 How come Florida is open?
00:03:55.260 What are we going to open?
00:03:56.100 And after all the complaints, eventually a new Simo Cuomo, whoever the governor is, has to
00:04:01.300 open it up as well.
00:04:02.080 So I hope you got to plan yourself on what to do when all this stuff is opening up because
00:04:07.220 the level of opportunity for anybody in business just went up simply because the market is reopening
00:04:14.620 back up.
00:04:15.840 So with that being said, for those of you that want to go out there and compete in a marketplace
00:04:18.980 and maybe go up against the glide in your industry, here's 14 strategies on how you can
00:04:23.680 take up the glide of your industry while everything's getting back to normal.
