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.
