Welcome, Elite Entrepreneurs! 👋
Guided by Vision. Grounded in Peace. Focused on What Matters. 🌿
Hey there—wherever this finds you, I hope you’re grounded and hopeful.
There’s a lot going on in the world right now, and if you’re feeling it—you’re not alone. In times like these, clarity isn’t just helpful—it’s a refuge.
This week’s newsletter is here to inspire and equip you with the tools to stay centered, focused, and moving forward with purpose.
Here’s some of what we’re diving into this week:
Lead with Vision, Not Reaction 🔭
In uncertain times, clarity becomes your competitive edge. In this article, I walk you through how to use The Vision Map™ to stay grounded, focused, and intentional—so you can lead with confidence no matter what’s happening around you.
Build with Brand Power 💥

Profit, Peace & Partnership 💼❤️
This week, we’re talking with Kay Lee and Robert Fukui—married entrepreneurs and co-authors of Tandem—about building a thriving business and a thriving relationship. Learn how to avoid burnout, boost margins, and succeed together without regrets.
With vision and strength, Tony 🙏
👉 A Quick Note From Tony: What’s On My Mind 📝
There’s a lot of fear in the air lately—uncertainty about the future, about the world, about what’s coming next. And I’ve felt it too. But here’s what’s been steadying me:
Each morning, I take a moment to remind myself that God is still in control.
Even when the world feels upside down, even when I don’t see the whole plan—He does. That simple truth brings peace in the chaos. It reminds me that I’m not called to carry it all—I’m called to walk in faith, do the work in front of me, and trust the rest to Him.
So today, I encourage you: Pause. Breathe. Pray. Ask God for wisdom. Then take one faithful step forward. That’s how we build in uncertain times—with grace, vision, and trust.

👉 Lead With Vision, Not Reaction 🔭
When the world gets loud—when news headlines swirl, markets shift, or life throws curveballs—many people react. They scramble. They chase trends, burn energy on distractions, or try to do more just to keep up. But reaction isn’t leadership.
True leadership begins with vision.
Vision gives you direction when everything else feels uncertain. It’s not just a lofty idea or a one-line statement—it’s a clearly defined destination that shapes your choices today. When you know what you’re building, you stop second-guessing every move. You make decisions faster. You focus on what truly matters.
So how do you create that kind of clarity?
That’s where The Vision Map™ comes in. It’s not a motivational gimmick—it’s a practical tool I’ve used and taught to help people move from vague ideas to tangible results. Here's a quick look at the core elements:
Vision – Where you ultimately want to go. Think long-term, big-picture.
Purpose – Why you want it. This is the emotional driver behind the vision.
Objectives – The clear, trackable targets you set to measure real progress.
Strategy – The method or plan to reach those objectives with precision.
Most people get stuck because they skip one of these steps—or never define them in the first place. They know they want “success,” but they haven’t mapped out what that actually looks like.
If you’re building a business, a brand, or a legacy, clarity isn’t optional. It’s your edge. It helps you say “no” to distractions, “yes” to the right risks, and “not yet” to things that aren’t aligned with your mission.
This week, take a moment to zoom out. Revisit your goals. Ask yourself:
👉 Is this truly aligned with the future I want to create?
If not, don’t worry. It just means it’s time to re-clarify and re-commit.

👑 King Audun of Carron, from Imen of Atlantis
Cold. Calculated. Commanding.
King Audun rules Carron not with fire, but with stone—unyielding, deliberate, and ever-watchful. He is a master of long games, a king who speaks rarely but moves with precision. Where others rage, Audun waits. Where others posture, he plans. He sees alliances as tools, treaties as traps, and weakness as a luxury no ruler can afford.
Though age has silvered his hair, there is no softness in him. His court fears his silence more than any outburst, and his enemies never see the blow coming until it’s already struck. His loyalty lies only with legacy—and he’ll sacrifice almost anything, even his own kin, to preserve the power of Carron.
But beneath the crown lies a mind haunted by prophecy and war. Audun knows the tides of power are shifting in Atlantis… and he intends to stay ahead of them.
Imen of Atlantis: Bitten is available now on Amazon and at major bookstores.
— Step into a realm of loyalty, power, and hidden agendas—where kings rule from the shadows, alliances are weapons, and destiny belongs to those who master the long game. 👑🗡️
