These are demanding times for small businesses. With the economic slowdown, owners can quickly find themselves facing stress and anxiety levels never experienced before. If you're trying to balance your stress and keep your doors open for customers, check out the recording of our TPG Small Biz webinar below to learn why taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your business, along with strategies to cope during COVID-19.

Join the TPG Small Biz community on Facebook

Our expert panelists this episode were Licensed Somatic Psychotherapist Morgan Smith, founder of Creatives Health, and Amy Domangue, Co-Founder and CEO of virtual healthcare marketplace ‘Jessie’. During our 30-minute session, we took a look at the current state of virtual mental care along with best practices for taking care of your mental health as a small business leader. We also discussed virtual solutions to find mental health professionals and assistance — especially important during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The TPG Small Biz community was created in October 2019 to give small business owners and leaders a forum of peers to learn how to maximize monthly expenditures toward credit card rewards. The community’s focus quickly engulfed a much larger purpose of peer support in almost all financial matters a small business faces. Currently, there are more than 2,500 small-business owners in the community, and weekly content focused on small businesses is published on The Points Guy.

Why We Chose It

There’s a lot to love about the Amex Gold. It’s a fan favorite thanks to its fantastic bonus-earning rates at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets. If you’re hitting the skies soon, you’ll also earn bonus Membership Rewards points on travel. Paired with up to $120 in Uber Cash annually (for U.S. Uber rides or Uber Eats orders, card must be added to Uber app and you can redeem with any Amex card), up to $120 in annual dining statement credits to be used with eligible partners, an up to $84 Dunkin’ credit each year at U.S. Dunkin Donuts and an up to $100 Resy credit annually, there’s no reason that foodies shouldn’t add the Amex Gold to their wallet. These benefits alone are worth more than $400, which offsets the $325 annual fee on the Amex Gold card. Enrollment is required for select benefits. (Partner offer)
