Welcome Back!

I hope you are ready for today’s Millionaire Mindset Monday! Each Monday we will be focusing on developing the mind necessary to achieve success.

Before We Get Started Here’s Your News Recap:

Early Q1 earnings guidance signaled slower growth expectations.
Several major companies issued conservative outlooks, pointing to soft consumer demand and tighter financial conditions. Executives emphasized margin protection over aggressive expansion plans.

U.S. consumer sentiment slipped again in mid-January readings.
Households reported increased concern about prices, debt levels, and job security. While spending hasn’t collapsed, consumers are clearly becoming more selective.

Retailers extended post-holiday promotions deeper into January.
Inventory levels remain elevated in apparel and discretionary goods, forcing continued discounting. This is helping cash flow but pressuring profit margins.

Small-business loan demand weakened despite lower benchmark rates.
Many owners are delaying borrowing decisions due to uncertainty around demand and costs. Lenders report fewer applications but higher scrutiny on balance sheets.

Manufacturing data remained weak, with new orders still contracting.
Factories continue to face soft demand both domestically and abroad. Capital expenditure plans are being pushed further into the year.

Oil prices steadied after recent volatility.
Energy markets paused as traders balanced geopolitical risks against slowing global demand. Stable prices offer some relief for transportation and logistics firms.

The U.S. dollar stayed strong, creating headwinds for exporters.
Currency strength reflects higher yields and global uncertainty. Multinational companies may face pressure on overseas revenue when earnings are reported.

AI investment headlines shifted toward workforce impact.
Companies discussed redeploying labor and reducing headcount in areas replaced by automation. Productivity gains are becoming as important as innovation itself.

Commercial real estate stress intensified in regional office markets.
Vacancy rates remain high, and refinancing negotiations are becoming more common. Regional banks are monitoring exposure closely.

Inspirational Quote

Focus of The Week

Curate Your Circle

This week’s millionaire mindset principle: Proximity is Power.

The people around you influence your beliefs, habits, and ultimately, your results. Want to become a millionaire? Start by surrounding yourself with people who think, live, and strive at a higher level.

Many high-performers don’t come from wealth — they engineer their environment to support their goals. Your circle doesn’t have to be rich — they just have to be growth-minded.

🚫 Avoid:

• Chronic complainers

• Friends who belittle your ambitions

• People who always play it safe

✅ Seek:

• People who talk ideas and investments

• Friends who challenge you to level up

• Mentors who give tough love

Actionable tip: Do a "social inventory" this week. Who in your life elevates you — and who drains you?

Take Action!

The Network Upgrade Challenge

This week’s challenge is all about intentionally elevating your network.

Your Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Identify 3 people you admire
These could be professionals, creators, authors, or entrepreneurs — people who are where you want to be.

• Follow them online.

• Read or listen to their content.

• Study their mindset.

2. Send 1 cold message this week
Reach out on LinkedIn, Twitter, or email. Keep it simple and respectful. Example:

“Hi [Name], I’ve been learning from your work and appreciate how you think about [specific topic]. Just wanted to say thanks — and if you’re ever open to sharing advice with someone on the way up, I’d be grateful.”

Even if they don’t respond — you’re building the courage muscle.

3. Remove 1 negative influence for 7 days
Take a break from a group chat, a draining friend, or a gossipy environment. You don’t need to ghost — just create space to grow.

Millionaire Myth-Busting

“You Have to Inherit Wealth to Get Rich”

Myth Status: BUSTED

It’s a popular belief — that most wealthy people got their money from parents or inheritance. But the truth is…

🔍 Over 79% of U.S. millionaires are self-made
(Source: Fidelity Investments + Ramsey Solutions)

They built their wealth through:

• Long-term investing

• Owning businesses

• Real estate

• Consistent savings

• Discipline and delayed gratification

They didn’t win the lottery. They didn’t get lucky. They built it brick by brick — often while working full-time jobs and facing setbacks.

So if you’re starting from zero? You're in the majority. And you’re not behind — unless you stay still.
