In this episode, I talk about a conversation I saw on X (formerly Twitter) where some business owners said their companies took a big hit after tariffs went into effect during the Trump administration. While that’s a real situation, this episode isn’t about tariffs. I’m not here to talk about news. I leave that for my live streams every weekday at 8am Eastern. What I’m really breaking down today is the mindset behind how people react when things go wrong. The main point: blaming others should never be part of your approach.


Show Notes:
[04:26] #1 When you are a leader, you don't have the luxury of blaming anyone for anything.
[09:16] #2 Everything that happens is your responsibility, even if it's not your fault.
[15:26] #3 The opportunity is always in opposites in life.
