What do I do about all the prices going up to run my business?
Everything costs more. The threat of the new president’s tariff’s make things very uncertain. If you source anything out of the country in 2025, it will probably cost more.

Can I trust the economy and the GDP to keep growing?
Very few of us know what to expect in 2025. My forecast is that it is mostly hazy. With tariffs looming, interest rate cuts and the threat of expelling immigrant workers from the country, things are hard to predict. My advice for 2025 is to be cautious: diversify who you source your products from and who your customers are. Sectors will be effected unevenly by whatever happens.
