It's no secret that a lot of Americans and people had a tough year. 

 

In a short period of time, we had to endure a ton of financial pain. 

 

Back in 2021, interest rates on mortgages were at 3-4%. 

 

Cryto, NFTs, cars were selling for over asking. 

 

But within 10 months of time, housing prices went up because of interest rates; they doubled. 

 

The luxury watch industry was out of control. 

 

Rents went up. 

 

If I were a candle maker and my rent went up, I couldn't pass that to my customers. 

 

They'd stop buying candles. 

 

As a business owner, you have to eat that shit. 

 

If you had a rough year, I guarantee you that you learned what matters most to you. 

 

With the rising costs of everything, you probably asked why you fucking bought what you bought. 

 

At the end of 2022, my mentor told me to fire most of my staff and sell my shit. 

 

I didn't listen. 

 

But the experiences and lessons learned, priceless. 

 

And I found out what matters most to me:  my family. 

 

They kept me sane through all of this. 

 

Everything else is not as important, except for my ranch and my tractors. 

 

Lean into what matters.  

 

Everything else, comes and goes. 

 

Family is forever.
