Are The Tariffs Making You Freeze?

Right now, there’s a lot of uncertainty in the air.
New tariffs. Global tensions. Economic instability.

And for many business owners, this environment is causing a deep freeze—
❄️ A freeze in decision-making.
❄️ A freeze in growth plans.
❄️ A freeze in belief.

But if you study history, you'll find something powerful:
Some of the greatest companies were born during the hardest economic times.

🚀 General Motors – Founded during the panic of 1907
🛍 Walmart – Opened in the middle of the 1960s recession
💻 Microsoft – Launched during the oil crisis and 1970s stagflation
🌐 Airbnb and Uber – Built during the Great Recession of 2008

Why? Because hard times sharpen the few who are willing to keep moving forward.
While others freeze, relentless leaders take bold action.

“You can’t control the economy, but you can control your energy, your attitude, and your effort.” – Todd Stottlemyre

And remember this—
If you're waiting for the perfect time to start... you’ll probably miss it.
Perfect timing is a myth. Progress is built in the imperfect moments.

So here’s the challenge:

Don’t wait for the market to thaw.
Create your own momentum.

Here are 7 relentless actions you can take this week:

1. Reevaluate your daily routine – is it aligned with where you want to go?

2. Focus on client retention and deepening relationships

3. Identify one unnecessary expense and cut it

4. Call a mentor or advisor and ask a hard question

5. Invest in your mindset—read, train, sharpen

6. Show up with energy—even when you don’t feel like it

7. Ask yourself daily: Did I move forward today?

When you feel frozen by uncertainty, take action.
When doubt creeps in, take action.
When the headlines scream fear, take action.

Let the world pause if it wants to.

You’re here to be relentless.
