Women are the primary or co-breadwinner in six out of ten American families, which makes the economic imperative of addressing the wage gap between men and women vital. We frequently hear that women earn on average seventy-seven cents for every rand earned by men, and that is true when one

“I found out I was gay at 11 and did not know what it was. I knew I was attracted to boys and not girls. I was afraid I would be forced to marry a woman or disowned by my family. By 13 I accepted who I was as I didn’t want to ruin the life of a woman by marrying her. I opened up to a few friends, finding solace spiritualy – before eventually mustering the courage to come out to my parents too.My parents were relieved that their…

Every Entrepreneur was once a
contender that refused to give up
I want everybody to look down.
See that little things in front of
you? It's called hands. Now I'm
going to let you in on a little
secret about your hands -- it

until you take some action, it's
nothing more than a worthless
hunk of ten figures, like a loaded
M16 without a trained Marine to
pull the trigger. And in the case of

Forgive yourself first. Release the
need to replay a negative situation
over and over again in your mind.
Do not become a hostage to your
past by always reviewing and
reliving your mistakes. Do not
remind yourself of what should
have, could have or would have
been. Release it and let it go.
Move on.
You can not change the past, but
you can determine that your past
will not define your present, or
dictate your future. Forgive…

Live your truth. Most people go
through life living a lie.
Pretending to be someone
they're not....and they are
miserable. Live your truth. You
only have one life to live. Live it

none of your business. To thine
own self be true. Being yourself
unblocks your energy. It frees
you up. It allows you to live

Do you know the difference between leaders, followers, and losers? Leaders stretch with challenges. Followers struggle with challenges. Losers shrink from challenges.Most good leaders want the perspective of people they trust.To lead any way other than by example, we send a fuzzy picture of leadership to others. If we work on improving ourselves first and make that our
primary mission, then others are more likely to follow.All true leaders have learned to say no to the good in order to say…
