Friends,

Where Is Your Power Center? Money? Title? Authority? Your mind? Your heart? Your body? Your people?

These questions were posted on the 'In Power Women' discussion group. External power sources are great & help us accomplish amazing things, but they can't make up for the power we carry inside us. Find it. Claim it. Protect it. Build it.

Let's take a poll by allowing the question guide us on a journey to finding the heart of our readers unique power center.

Poll: Where is your core power?

work
finances
title
intelligence
love
family
spiritual
other

Reply here, then watch for the poll results.

Inspiration comes from inside an impassioned heart & mind that is open, curious, imaginative, innovative, & communicative. The more we tap-in, the more business will come our way & the happier we'll be.

Open up & discover the power of inspired choices.
I look forward to hearing from you!

From my heart,
Linda
