Where economics, execution, and elevation collide.

Today’s topic?
Why you can’t wait for the system to fix itself.

Last week, Jerome Powell — the man supposed to be keeping inflation under control — got on camera and basically said, “We have no idea what we’re doing.”

No clarity
No plan
No confidence

Just another reminder that the system is broken and the people running it are out of their depth.

If you're still betting your future on those people figuring it out… that's not strategy. That's surrender.

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. The Fed just showed their hand
   And it’s empty

2. Waiting for “stability” is a trap
   The smart ones are moving now

3. You can’t outsource your future
   Especially to people who’ve already failed at managing theirs

4. If you’re not in a room that’s building, you’re in a room that’s breaking

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. The economy doesn't stop just because the Fed is confused
   Money is still moving — it's just not waiting for permission

2. Hope is not a business model
   Execution is

3. You don’t need a perfect plan
   You need the right environment

4. The people around you determine your speed
   Get around winners, or get used to waiting

4 Challenges for You This Week

1. Audit your current info sources
   Are you consuming solutions or just panic?

2. Write down one move you’ve been waiting to make
   Now ask yourself: why are you waiting?

3. Check your circle
   Are they growing or just guessing?

4. Apply to the Deal Maker Alliance
   It’s the room where clarity replaces chaos

The Fed fumbled.
Don’t follow their lead.
Build your own economy.

To moving fast while they stall,
