And as I drove across the beautiful terrain on some pretty remote strips along the highway, I found myself (as I usually do) thinking about the inner cowgirl in me, and all the possibilities of the road ahead.  From time to time I couldn’t help but think of those pioneers – those exploration leaders that came across our country discovering places they had never seen before. 

May has arrived and along with it much introspection here in the Victory Circles on the Master Mind Principle of Leadership. Today I want to pay homage to a very special breed of leader that I have come to highly respect over the years: the woman entrepreneur.

Life gives us many choices - without a doubt.  Today as we wrap up our month long conversations on the Master Mind Principle of Self Control with Money I believe it is important to look at the piece around money and forgiveness.  

Money is a form of energy. It can stop you in your tracks if you allow it to (negative energy), or it can set you on a course of abundance of all shapes and sizes (positive energy). The choice sometimes can feel like it is not our own… when in fact regardless of our life circumstances we really are fully in charge if we choose to be.  

As this week’s title for the Victory Letter reflects, they see it as the time to get the money cobwebs removed from their financial world in order insure the overall profitability they are wishing to achieve.  In fact, in a research done by the National Bureau of Economic Research, 60% of Americans suffers from financial ignorance.

One of the things I love about traveling is that around every corner you find so many surprise elements that create an experience which makes life richer. My travels last week through North and South Carolina exposed me to many elements that took me in and out of my comfort zone. 

There really is nothing as magical as watching a seed grow.  I have talked about this simple yet amazing phenomenon nearly every spring since I started writing the Victory Letter 13 years ago. It is what hooked me on gardening several decades back: the idea that if you plant good seeds growth will eventually emerge from the confines of the earth.   

You know what’s interesting... after so many years of working with quotes I am always delighted and surprised when I find another one that makes me stop and think.  To stop and appreciate words spoken both in recent times and many decades ago in our collective past.
