What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Overthinking often slows or even stalls progress by causing muddy thinking and overwhelm. It's aimed at preventing mistakes but overthinking itself becomes a bigger threat to success than mistakes.
• Americans across the country are remembering George Floyd five years after he was killed by police, with special gatherings in the city where he grew up and the one where he died.
• Why the Supreme Court is handing over more and more power to Trump.
• Quote of the week:  “Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for.” – Earl Warren
• The trade war has turned a spotlight on the artisanal clusters behind glamorous goods, inviting fresh scrutiny of one of the industry’s key selling points.
• Remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.
