Before We Get Started Here’s Your News Recap:

🌐 U.S./EU Trade Pact Hits a Snag Over Digital Rules
The EU is holding up a finalized trade statement to defend its Digital Services Act (DSA)—calling it a non-negotiable safeguard while the U.S. pushes back, arguing it burdens American tech firms. This standoff delays tariff relief for auto exports and threatens tensions just months after the July deal eased 15% duties.

⚔️ Defense & Energy Stocks Rally Amid U.S.–Russia Geopolitical Shift?
After the Alaska summit, markets are jittery over possible U.S. pivot toward Russia to exploit Arctic energy reserves. This has investors aggressively repositioning toward defense and energy sectors, with Brent crude dipping below $66 while European missile stocks surge.

🔍 High-Level Debate in Fed Ranks: Inflation vs. Employment
Data shows wholesale prices jumped in July—raising red flags for inflation. Still, some Fed officials highlight easing hiring conditions. The next moves will likely hinge on upcoming jobs and CPI data ahead of Jackson Hole and September’s rate decision.

🏢 Paramount Skydance Plots Streaming Takeover
Following its August 7 merger, the newly formed Paramount Skydance announced a seven-year deal for exclusive UFC streaming rights. With ambitious plans to release up to 20 films annually—spanning Top Gun 3, Star Trek, and World War Z—the new entity is doubling down on subscriber engagement.

🚫 U.S. Cancels India Trade Talks as 50% Tariff Looms

Inspirational Quote

Focus of The Week

The Power of Micro Habits

Millionaires don’t rely on motivation — they rely on systems. One key mindset shift is the power of micro habits — small, consistent actions that compound over time.

Instead of trying to make big changes all at once, successful people focus on building strong daily habits that become part of their identity. Whether it’s reading 10 minutes a day, tracking spending, or reviewing goals — it’s not the size of the action, it’s the consistency that matters.

Start small. Stay consistent. Think long-term.

Try This Week:

• Choose one 2-minute micro habit tied to your bigger goal.

• Stack it on top of an existing routine (e.g., after brushing teeth, write down your 3 priorities).

• Stick with it every single day for 7 days.

Take Action!

Challenge: The 5x5 Wealth Productivity Sprint

This is your productivity + wealth sprint for the week. It’s short, focused, and doable — just 25 minutes per day for 5 days.

Here's how:

1. Pick one money move or skill goal (e.g., research investing basics, outline a side hustle, set a budget).

2. Set a timer for 25 minutes.
   Use the Pomodoro technique — no distractions.

3. Work ONLY on that task during that time.

4. Repeat daily for 5 days this week.

5. On Day 5, write a one-paragraph reflection: what did you accomplish or learn?

Why it works: You’re training yourself to prioritize deep focus and consistent progress — the exact traits that separate millionaires from dreamers.

Millionaire Myth-Busting

“Millionaires work 100-hour weeks.”

The Myth:

You need to sacrifice all your time, sleep, and relationships to become wealthy. If you’re not burning out, you’re not doing enough.

The Truth:

This myth glamorizes hustle but overlooks the truth: most millionaires work strategically, not endlessly. They delegate, prioritize high-leverage activities, and value rest and clarity as tools for peak performance.

Working smart consistently beats working hard sporadically. In fact, many high-net-worth individuals report working 40–50 hours a week — with a clear focus on output, not hours.

Lesson: You don’t need to grind 24/7. You need to be intentional with how you spend your time — and protect your energy like your wealth depends on it.
