Why freedom matters for women in business


Dear Reader,

A dear friend of mine, Robyn, recently sent me a video that may be the most powerful thing I’ve watched this year.

It’s the story of Fatemah Khamenei, who publicly spoke out against the Iranian regime led by her own family. Listening to her describe what life is like under that system was eye-opening.

Here is the video if you would like to watch it:

It’s about an hour long. I listened to it in the car, and the time flew by. The visuals are lame, but the story itself is extraordinary.

Hearing her talk reminded me how easy it is for us to forget the freedoms we enjoy here in America.

As women, we can:

• Choose the schools we attend
• Worship according to our own beliefs
• Start and run our own businesses
• Speak our minds without fear

Those freedoms are not normal in much of the world.

And because we have them, we also have the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead financially in ways many women around the world cannot.

That’s one of the reasons I care so much about helping women understand their business finances. When you understand your money, you gain independence, confidence, and options.

If you would like to be near the top of the list for our FREE Master Class — Business Finance for Women, simply reply to this email and let me know.

We are fortunate to live in a place where women can learn anything, build businesses, and take control of their financial futures.

That’s something worth being grateful for.

Profitably Yours,

Dear Reader, “Sometimes we run so fast we forget where we are going and why we are running.”— David Bednar Let me ask you something honestly… Why are you working 24/7? When I sit down with entrepreneurs, one answer comes up again and again. It’s not because they love the grind.It’s not because they want to be busy. It’s because the business isn’t quite working. There’s revenue.There are happy customers. But when it comes to cash flow? It’s tight.It’s stressful.And when you need money… it’s...

Dear Reader, As many of you know, in our family, we go to church every Sunday—and in our faith culture, that usually means ties for the men. Which means… my husband Brace has a lot of ties. And I mean a lot. About 10 years ago, I bought him one of those motorized tie racks. It sounded like a great idea at the time. It was not. The battery would die.The ties would fall off.You couldn’t really see anything. Everything was there… but nothing was usable. So even though he had close to 100 ties,...
