President Trump says the pain from tariffs "will be worth the price."

But what does it mean for you?

I spent the evening analyzing it.

Here’s what you need to know:
1/Because of new tariffs, the average American family could pay about $1,245 more per year for everyday items.

This includes:

• Costlier furniture and home goods
• More expensive clothes and shoes
• Higher prices for cars and car parts
• Pricier groceries, especially fruits and vegetables
2/ Tariffs Will Affect Everyday Life:

1. Cars:

• Vehicle prices could rise due to integrated North American supply chains
• Auto parts costs would increase, affecting repair and maintenance expenses

2. Food:

• Furniture imports from China could see 10-25% price increases
• Electronics and household appliances would likely become more expensive
• Clothing and footwear prices could rise significantly

3. Consumer Goods:

• Avocado prices could increase as 90% come from Mexico
• Popular Mexican beer brands might see price hikes
• Canadian agricultural products, including frozen foods, would become more expensive

If you own a business, you MUST understand accounting

You can't run a business without understanding your numbers

Here is everything you need to know:
1/ Accounting isn’t just about taxes or bookkeeping—it’s the language of business

At its core, accounting is based on “Accrual Accounting”

Accrual accounting shows the true financial health of a business by matching income with related expenses.
2/ Accrual Accounting

Most people think of accounting as balancing a checkbook—counting cash in and cash out (this is called Cash Accounting)

But real businesses use Accrual Accounting

Why?

Because it’s a more accurate way to measure actual profit by matching revenues and expenses in the same period

Here's a simple way to think about it:

Trump’s win will affect your money, taxes, and finances.

But what does it mean for you?

Here's everything you need to know:
1. Taxes:

• One of Trump’s key tax proposals is to eliminate federal income taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and overtime pay – which could provide financial relief for certain groups, but also reduce revenue for programs like Social Security.

• He has also promised to extend the individual and estate tax cuts from his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire at the end of 2025.

• Trump’s overall tax plan is estimated to increase the deficit by $4.1 trillion over 10 years, according to analyses. The large tax cuts, especially for corporations and the wealthy, are expected to contribute to this.
2. Stock Market:

• The initial market reaction to Trump’s victory was positive, with stocks rallying. Investors likely see his proposals for corporate tax cuts and deregulation as favorable for profits.

• However, his protectionist trade policies, including broad tariffs, could weigh on multinational companies and sectors like semiconductors, autos, and clean energy that are exposed to trade tensions.

• Bond yields are expected to rise further due to concerns about growing deficits from Trump’s economic agenda, which would hurt bond prices.

• Emerging markets could face headwinds from a strengthening dollar, higher US interest rates, and the potential for trade conflicts.

You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

And everything in life is negotiable.

If you want to get rich, here are 7 tips to master negotiation:
1. The power of silence and pauses:

Awkward silences create pressure.

After making an offer, stop talking and wait for the other side to respond.

Silence prompts the other side to fill the void, sometimes making concessions.
2. The 6 P's:

Proper Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.

Master your facts and leverage points to negotiate effectively vs. making hurried concessions.
