As a kid, my dad occasionally took me fishing in his small, rusty tin boat. Sometimes, in the middle of the lake, he’d put duct tape over a leak to keep the water at bay until we got back to shore. He used to say that boats don’t sink from the water around them. They sink from the water that gets in them. I’ve drawn on that saying many times, particularly during the stormy seasons of life, when I’ve felt like I might be pulled under by the fear and negativity swirling around me.

What’s going on: The Economic Policy Institute’s analysis released on Thursday morning showcased that, even with inflation taken into consideration, wages for low-income workers in the United States experienced a rapid surge between 2019 and 2022. Why it matters: This was made possible by the tightened job market and disruption due to the pandemic, resulting in employees on the lower end of the pay scale having greater power in negotiations with their employers.

But entrepreneurship hasn’t always come so easily to her. After leaving her job as Tony Robbins’ content director 14 years ago, she decided to build her own business , a journey which wasn’t without its trials.

This was mainly because businesses waited to see what the coming months would bring. Whilst experts believe that M&A activity won’t return to levels seen in 2021, they do expect an increase as markets adapt, recover, and look for ways to increase profit.
