Tariffs just exposed the cracks

Tariffs just exposed the cracks

April 12, 20252 min read

You’ve probably seen the headlines…

New tariffs. Higher import costs. Rising tensions between major markets.

The internet’s buzzing.

Business owners are stressing.

Margins are getting squeezed—again.

(And some even calling for MORE, up to 400% even)

But here’s what I’ve been thinking…

Tariffs aren’t the problem.

They’re just the latest tax on weak businesses.

Because if a small shift in policy can knock you off balance…

What does that say about your pricing power?

Your margins?

Your systems?

Most businesses are one external event away from chaos — because they’re built without a foundation.

No proper org structure.

No real accountability.

No pricing strategy beyond “what feels reasonable.”

So when tariffs hit?

Or ad costs rise?

Or inflation creeps in?

They get exposed…

But the ones scaling to $1M/month+?

They’re not worried.

They’ve got control levers.

They’ve got margins baked in.

They’ve got real strategy—not duct tape.

And it starts with a proper Quarterly Planning Call.

This isn’t a chat about “goals” or more ideas to add to your plate.

This is where we…

1. Strip out the noise

2. Get clear on what actually moves revenue

3. Prioritize the 1–2 strategic shifts that’ll make the next 90 days a level-up

2. How to get your team aligned

3. What levers you’ll pull to grow faster—with less chaos
