During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.
But many have been hit hard.
Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.
Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.
You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.

The proposal has been driven by the Government's plan to move the country into Alert Level 2 on Thursday, with council staff considering ways to encourage people to return to Dunedin's CBD, albeit at a safe physical distance.

Another gorgeous Autumn day for us 🍂🍁 in Dunedin 😊. The first time I heard this saying I instantly loved it! In my humble opinion it's a huge source of self-confidence when you live life from principles dear to your heart 💗. Sometimes we don't and we tell ourselves it doesn't matter because "no-one will know". We've just discounted ourselves completely though because there is one person who will know and that is ourselves. Nathanial Brandon's book 📗 "The Six Pillars of Self Esteem" set me on a path of personal responsibility that lead to an enormous increase in my self confidence. And those around me began responding in kind. Personal development is a very empowering tool that has given me the courage to live life on my terms. Which reminds me of another saying I heard recently "if the only tool you have is a hammer - every problem is a nail" perhaps less effective ?
