Before We Get Started Here’s Your News Recap:

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS), a 249-year-old institution, faces an uncertain future as President Donald Trump reportedly plans to dissolve its bipartisan board of governors and place the agency under the control of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, potentially leading to privatization. 

The USPS, which employs 637,000 people and is viewed favorably by 91% of Americans, has struggled financially, recording a $6.9 billion loss in 2025. Critics argue that privatizing or undermining the USPS would negatively affect its affordability and reliability, with significant impact on rural areas and crucial services. ​

In his first month in office, President Trump has succeeded in reducing illegal border crossings and cutting government bureaucracy with the assistance of figures like Elon Musk. However, despite these achievements, he has failed to deliver on several key economic promises. Inflation remains at 3 percent, house prices have risen, retail sales fell significantly in January, and the threat of a recession looms large. Financial markets are showing signs of concern with decreased business activity and consumer confidence, attributed partly to Trump's policies. ​

Anneliese Dodds resigned from her position over the Labour Party's decision to cut aid to fund defense spending, highlighting the adverse effects on the world's poorest and calling attention to the tensions between fiscal rules and geopolitical needs. Labour's economic policies face significant challenges due to a declining economic outlook, legacy tax and spending plans from the Conservatives, and high national debt. Interest rates are volatile, and creative thinking is needed to address these issues.

The European Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates by 0.25%, bringing the deposit facility rate to 2.5%, the lowest level since February 2023. ECB Executive board member Isabel Schnabel has suggested that the bank should consider pausing or halting rate cuts due to reduced confidence in maintaining restrictive monetary policies. Preliminary inflation data for February is anticipated to be 2.3%, a decline from January’s 2.5%.

Economic indicators suggest the US economy is at risk of a significant slowdown in 2025. Challenges in the job market, sluggish housing market, and narrowing growth sources indicate a more sluggish economic outlook. As the economy continues to cool, the Federal Reserve may need to cut interest rates more aggressively than expected.

Rising investor angst about the economy is expected to be tested by upcoming US jobs data. The S&P500 plunged 1.5% recently as U.S. jobless claims saw their biggest weekly jump in five months, and President Trump warned more tariff rises are coming soon.

Protectionist threats and erratic policies are combining to hurt U.S. economic growth. The Trump administration's approach has led to increased uncertainty, impacting business investments and consumer confidence.

A tentative thaw in US-Russia relations is paving the way for American companies to explore new economic opportunities that, until recently, seemed unthinkable. This development could lead to increased investments and collaborations between the two countries.

A U.S. Senate plan to make President Trump's tax cuts permanent has raised concerns about a potential 'debt spiral'. Critics argue that extending these tax cuts could significantly increase the national debt, leading to long-term economic challenges. ​

New data suggests that in January, U.S. consumer spending fell for the first time in almost two years, while the goods trade deficit widened to a record high. Businesses front-loaded imports to avoid tariffs, setting up the economy for weak growth or even a contraction this quarter.

The S&P500 has entered negative territory for 2025, following a 1.5% plunge as U.S. jobless claims saw their biggest weekly jump in five months. President Trump's warning of more tariff increases has added to investor concerns.

Inspirational Quote

Focus of The Week

The Power of Daily Habits

Principle: Success isn’t built in a day—it’s built daily. Millionaires develop success-driven habits that compound over time. It’s not about making one big leap but about consistently showing up and doing the work every single day.

Actionable Advice:

• Start Your Day with Intention: Plan your top 3 priorities each morning to stay focused.

• Build a Money Habit: Save, invest, or track your spending daily, even if it’s a small amount.

• Eliminate One Bad Habit: Identify a habit that’s slowing you down (e.g., procrastination, unnecessary spending, negative self-talk) and replace it with a productive one.

• Set a Daily Learning Goal: Spend at least 15 minutes each day learning something that will help you grow.

• Use the “Two-Day Rule”: Never skip a positive habit two days in a row—consistency is the key to long-term success.

Take Action!

The “Success Habit Streak”

Goal: Build momentum by consistently sticking to high-value habits for seven days.

1. Day 1: Choose Three Daily Habits

   • Pick three small but impactful habits to implement this week (e.g., waking up early, journaling, reading, exercising, budgeting).

2. Day 2-5: Track & Stay Consistent

   • Use a habit tracker (app or notebook) to check off each habit daily. If you miss a day, restart immediately.

3. Day 6-7: Evaluate & Optimize

   • Reflect on which habit had the biggest impact and decide how to continue improving it in the coming weeks.

Millionaire Myth-Busting

“Rich People Always Have Talent or Special Skills”

Myth or Truth? Myth

Breakdown: Many millionaires started with no special skills, connections, or advantages. What set them apart was their willingness to learn, adapt, and outwork others. Skills can be developed, and persistence beats raw talent in the long run.

Takeaway: This week, instead of focusing on what you lack, focus on what you can learn. Identify one new skill that could benefit your success and take the first step toward mastering it.

That’s A Wrap
