Goodbye 2025

A challenging year for everyone
It’s been a year of turmoil, disruption, and uncertainty all driven by the volatile and unpredictable President Trump, who has had unconstrained power to indulge his economic theories, selfish greed and egotistical fantasies, and affect international trade, global economies, military and political alliances, and the welfare of tens of millions of ind
ividuals in America and around the world.
It's been impossible to ignore the impact on our own businesses, our families, and our personal plans to live well and prosper. But we do have to occasionally ignore the geopolitical distractions that are so prominent 24/7 and focus on taking care of business. Choose who we can count on and what universal values and operating principles still apply to our situation. Continue to do what we do well, check what rules have changed, and avoid the mistakes of overreacting or giving up too soon.
Try to take time over the holidays to share ideas and experiences, review the significant events of the past year and re-think your plans for the New Year. Unfortunately, the Trump-effect is likely to continue through 2026, so think of the past as a training exercise in how to cope.
Try to be optimistic that “this too shall pass.” Relax and enjoy the holiday season renewing relationships with family, friends and associates who are important to you.
Be better. Do Better. Be an Enlightened Entrepreneur.
Wishing you well,
Del
