š A Quick Note From Tony: Whatās On My Mind š
Everywhere I look lately, people are overwhelmedānot just by the pace of business, but by the world itself. So this week, Iām sharing one small habit thatās helping me stay focused and energizedāeven when things feel chaotic. Itās simple, itās grounding, and itās making a big difference.
When you have your first cup of the morning, take a moment and give thanks to God on what you have. Whether it is a little, or a lot, give thanks for what you have. There are so many without. There are so many crying and asking for help. There are so many that do not have what you have. Give thanks to God that you have that. Be grateful. Smile. Be cheerful.

š Strategic Clarity in Turbulent Times
Itās no secretāthe world feels like itās shifting beneath our feet. Global temperatures are surging toward record-breaking levels, supply chains remain unpredictable, and economic volatility is keeping even seasoned business leaders guessing. In times like these, uncertainty becomes the enemy of progress. Thatās why having a clear, focused strategy isnāt just helpfulāitās essential.
This is where having a Map for your Vision proves invaluable. Itās more than a planning toolāitās a compass. When the external world is in flux, your internal direction becomes your strongest anchor. A Map for your Vision helps entrepreneurs, executives, and teams clarify where theyāre going and how theyāll get thereāregardless of what the market throws their way. You should define your long-term objective, establish your strategic path, and stay the course with conviction.
One of the greatest dangers in uncertain times is reactive decision-making. Without a roadmap, itās easy to chase trends, pivot too quickly, or freeze entirely. But with a clear Map, you gain the ability to assess change with perspective. Is this disruption a threatāor an opportunity? Your strategy becomes a lens through which to evaluate and act with confidence, not fear.
When your team knows the "why" behind the work and understands the long-term destination, alignment and resilience follow. Theyāre not just doing tasksātheyāre building toward a future they believe in. That unity becomes a competitive edge, especially when others are lost in the fog of uncertainty.
If you havenāt built your Vision Mapā¢ yet, now is the time. Iāve created a free draft to help you get startedāhead over to tonydurso.substack.com click the Community Resources tab, and download it today. Because in uncertain times, clarity is powerāand your Vision Mapā¢ is the key.
Queen Tara of Carthinia, from Imen of Atlantis
Queen Tara is a ruthless master strategist and the calculating matriarch of Carthinia. Regal and formidable, she rules not only from the throne but also from behind the scenesāwhere her influence over politics and alliances runs deep. Sharp-witted and elegantly ruthless, she is the true architect of her kingdomās ambitions, often outmaneuvering rivals through conversation alone. Overtly malicious to her subjects, her loyalty is rooted in power and greed, not sentiment.
Taraās priorities center on the pursuit of absolute power. She orchestrates the political marriage between her daughter, Princess Adina, and Carronās royal familyāonly to pivot swiftly when circumstances shift. When Adina can no longer marry Prince Eyvind, Tara recalibrates terms to suit her pursuits. This maneuverability underscores her ability to adapt quickly to maintain control, even if it means using her own daughter as a diplomatic pawn.
Highly perceptive and nearly impossible to deceive, Tara sees through the lies of King Audun, including his tale about Queen Beylaās absence and Prince Eyvindās alleged treason. Her poised reaction and steely composure reveal a woman fluent in the language of psychological warfare. Beneath her refined exterior lies a mind honed for information, leverage, and covert domination.
Though she may not wield a sword, Queen Tara rules with the sharp blade of deceit and cunning. Her feigned grace conceals a core of unyielding steel. Feared and respected in equal measure, she understands that empires are forged through strategyāand survival belongs to those who can adapt, manipulate, and rule from the shadows.
Imen of Atlantis: Bitten is available now on Amazon and at major bookstores. - Enter a realm of magic, ambition, and ancient powerāwhere destiny is forged by warriors, queens, and those bold enough to claim their fate. š”ļø
