We’re just over halfway through the year, and tariffs or no tariffs, it’s been a good start. Does that mean we’re in for a fall? Not my concern.

My concern is helping you participate in the good times and to help you survive the bad ones. Bad times haven’t been as regular lately, but when they hit, they can be rough. Look at the deadliest markets this century below, and you get a reminder of what can happen when things go south.

I want you to think about what makes you successful as an individual. It’s not an erratic attitude or way of living. It’s more about being steady and caring for your surroundings. Your life. Think about your money that way. You need to care for it. Take care of it and yourself. You don’t want to be pressing the market to do something for you.

Once you get into a mindset of keeping what you make, you remove the pressure of having someone else make your dreams come true. I believe in you. We all need a guide or someone to talk to about our road ahead. If you want help with your map and how to navigate in certain areas of your life, I’m here.
