Founder’s note from www.powerculturemag.com Issue 3 ” The Power Writer’s Manual” 

I will persist until I succeed.

I was not delivered into this world in defeat, nor does

failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be 

prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk,

to walk, to sleep with the sheep.

The slaughterhouse is not my destiny.

 

I will persist until I succeed. 

 

From the ancient scroll in the “Greatest Salesman in the World”

If that doesn’t describe the Power Culture Woman, I don’t know what does. 

It’s said that if you’re not experiencing any challenges in your personal or business life, that you aren’t taking any risks, you aren’t growing, and you definitely aren’t pushing yourself to reach your maximum potential.  

 If this is true, then many of us are doing exactly what we need to do in order to experience true growth in our lives. 2012 wasn’t easy on many businesses but with new  opportunities and technology, this year offered some individuals the open windows needed to birth new startups or expand their businesses. 

I needed to read this quote many times this year. I learned that what sometimes seemed like failure, was actually clarity. We found our own windows of opportunities and avenues to growth creating new ventures like Power Culture Magazine and Global Mastermind Circles to further reach women entrepreneurs and continuously provide what we so greatly needed ourselves 3 years ago- information, education, someone to remind us that we’re ready and capable. 

As we delve into 2013 and reflect on the previous year, we understand that this new year will reward the truly brave. We have to be more innovative, nimble yet systematic, fearless, self-motivating, ambitious women.  We can no longer hold back our talents, let obstacles keep us cornered, nor ask for permission. We are not survivors of 2012, we are the mavericks already making waves and leading trends for 2013. 

This issue of Power Culture Magazine is the Writer’s Power Manual. It was pure joy to interview not 1 but 5 authors who made it to the coveted Best-Selling list and who are also entrepreneurs working daily to claim their global status. These women are fearless, they have proven to have “chutzpah”, they have taken all of their life’s skills and failures and have turned them into opportunities. They have created and defined success on their own terms. In this issue, they have stopped briefly, to speak with us and let you know how you too, can create your own path to success. Not for the new year, but forever. 

You will persist until you succeed. You were not delivered into this world in defeat. Let’s go 2013!

 

Colossally,

 Kristi
