Chris Graffagnino Talks Business & COVID-19
In the current state of the pandemic, we know that it can be hard to grow a business and be successful. However, there are some entrepreneurs that are bucking the trend and making their own way. We recently caught up with business professional Chris Graffagnino, and asked him a few questions. To keep up with Chris you can follow him in Instagram @iamchrisgraff:
When you started helping other brands, how has your life changed?
Helping other brands its a passion for me. I get to take the culmination of years of failures and successes and share those experiences with others who are maybe just starting out or who are in the game for a while but only experiencing the failures.
How do you think the COVID-19 pandemic altered the finance industry?
COVID-19 definitely changed the scales of balance. No one ever thought something of this magnitude would realistically close the world financial market. As a result of businesses rising to the challenge, we’ve seen a lot of businesses not survive and many thrive, including new business. Every business owner needs to rethink the types of products and services they offer and how they offer them.
What current projects are you working on that we can expect in the future?
Right now I’m the sitting Chief Operating Officer of my global risk solutions firm. That’s my day to day and what I love doing. I am also focusing on launching my mentorship program and authoring a curriculum to help provide the best insight possible to get young entrepreneurs started.
What would you tell upcoming entrepreneurs who want to be successful?
Be patient and never give up. It took me 15 years to become an overnight success. Love what you do and keep at it. When the time is right it will all come together.
