I work in the bicycle industry and the impact tariffs are having on my business are profound.
The same bike that people were paying $4,000 for during the pandemic is on sale this month for $1,300.
The same bike that people were paying $3,495 for during the pandemic is on sale this month for $1,999.
Bikes built and manufactured in the United States are selling out. Bikes manufactured overseas are reducing their prices to stay competitive with US manufacturers.
Tariffs are definitely impacting my industry and it’s been absolutely amazing for my business. Thank you @POTUS
There are two kinds of people:
The ones that take their reality for granted and try to obtain the best from it, and the ones that create their reality.
I go for the second type.
Eternal life awareness changes the way we judge people.
It teaches that "bad" men may be just unaware of their real destiny and then you start commiserating instead of hating them.

In one of his brilliant papers https://t.co/gM2QZYrL1w Gabriel Palma argues how unfettered free markets, financialization and easy rents have catastrophically reduced investment in the real economy. See below!!!
@elonmusk True creation becomes independent of the creator because it never was of him. It is almost impossible to be original in a gigantic and eternal universe. We are not creators, we are chosen to show previous and superior inventions and that is an immense responsibility.
@alanklement Or: "The Add to cart button has to be on the top, very visible" or, "photos backgrounds have to be white" and so on.
If JTBD identified high energy struggle solution is met, they will look for the Add to Cart button, underneath the carpet.
@alanklement I quite agree with you. My experience is that the online buying process is completely rational. Most of the time, customers "accept" online "appealing" standards only because they have no options.
@alanklement Thank you for answering! Yes, we sell online via Google Ads, but we need additional customer traction since we don't SEO rank well yet. Struggle energy is high but truckers need to know that we exist in massive numbers. Are there ways to accelerate word of mouth?
@alanklement We have followed your guidelines and successfully tested our solution to our detected struggle (truckers dimmed night-vision) on a small scale (Google Ads). Now we need to scale it up digitally. Could you suggest an approach? We will really appreciate any hint.
