Temporarily closing a business does not mean giving up and keeping quiet, my colleague tries to open a number of home-based businesses and continues to send offers to several new shell buyers around the world while supervising children's online learning
As much as I want to agree with you, there's nothing less permanent than temporary
This is not my observation, and it has been tested in ages as it has strong grounds, even if it sounds more like a joke. Okay, your colleague closed his business as he thinks for some time only, until the dust settles and the sun shines bright again, as it were. So far so good. But how will he know that it is the right time to open up again if he is no longer in the biz? And when that time comes, how can he be sure he will have an inclination to continue? The point is, if he really were into this thing, he wouldn't shut it down. But if he is not, it will be hard to restart
