It may be useful to take a few minutes and write down your thoughts, concerns, and ideas for the Fall and Winter. Consider these questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHow might my markets change this Fall and Winter?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHow much money do I need to have saved by December 1st?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWhat bills do I want to have paid before the end of the growing season?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWhat information do I need to capture now so that decision making for 2021 will be easier?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWho might I collaborate with to sell more products this Winter?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHow are my wholesale markets weathering this pandemic and economic downturn?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As you review your answers, what are some things that jump out at you?
