I knew a man once who could walk into the thickest patch of woods you ever saw… and somehow, without a single scratch, come out the other side.
He wasn’t fast. He wasn’t flashy. Just steady. He kept his eyes open, feet sure, and hands free.
He said the trick was simple — “The quickest way through,” he told me, “is the slow way… if you know where your feet are going.”
“That’s when I realized — the same way you find your way through the woods, you can find your way through today’s thickets. If you have the right guide, you don’t get lost.”
Now, those woods… they’re still here.
But they’ve changed.
The thickets today aren’t briars and brambles. They’re stacked grocery bills. Electric rates. Gas prices that climb overnight. They’re new fees hidden where you never looked before.
And somewhere in there, you’ve got a trail — but it’s overgrown with headlines, with numbers that don’t match, with explanations that twist in the telling. You take a step and the ground feels soft. Another step and the view is blocked.
So you pause.
And that’s where most folks make the wrong move — they turn back. They say, “It’s too thick. It’s too hard. I’ll just stay put.”
But the man I knew… he never turned back. He studied the ground. Found a patch of daylight, even if it was only the size of a hand, and moved toward it. Slowly. Surely.
That’s what The Faust Baseline™ does for you now.
It’s not here to shout the path in your ear.
It’s here to show it — clear, steady, and without the thorns of spin and bias.
You hand it a “deal” you’re about to take… and it trims away the fine print until the truth shows through.
You ask it which price is best… and it cuts through the brambles of paid listings to find the one that’s real.
You feed it a headline… and it strips off the bark, leaving only the solid wood of the facts.
Step by step, the ground gets firmer. The shadows grow lighter. The tangle thins out.
Pretty soon, you notice you’re moving easier. You can see farther. You start spotting your own clearings without being told.
And then one day… you step out into the open.
The thickets are still there behind you — they always will be for somebody. But for you, the path is clear.
Because the quickest way through hard times is still the slow way… if you know where your feet are going.
If you’re ready to try it for yourself, I’ll walk you through it. Bring me the next “thicket” in your life, and we’ll clear the path together.
Like “Paul Harvey’ always use to say when ending his tale…. “And now you know the rest of the story.“
