No matter your title, position, or tenure, you can be a leader. But, before you can successfully lead others, you need to be able to lead yourself, and that includes the area of personal finances. Despite what some may tell you, you do have the ability to control your finances. The power lies with you. 
Multiple times each day, I get calls, letters, or emails from people around the world who have read my books, watched my movies, heard me speak, or read my columns. I welcome these inquiries as I include my contact information in my books, speeches, and at the end of these weekly columns. Occasionally, one of my readers has a comment or a question that I feel applies to all of us, so I like to share the wealth.
