Now...the Not So Important Stuff...
Let me be the first to congratulate you on a wise choice-subscribing to this publication. Now, I am jaded, as this is my dream child. I have to be honest, this is not the first magazine I have created, and it probably won’t be the last. I consider this therapy—remedial mental health support, rejuvenating busy work, even a fetish, sort of. I’ve authored several international best sellers, too. Way back in the 2000s, I created a mag named Local Marketing Today. LMT focused primarily on the various marketing methodologies for small businesses, including responsive website design, social media, reputation marketing, SEO, Keyword research, and more. It lasted about a year and one-half, before putting it down. For a short while, I formed a joint venture with an organization and created something known as The Accelerator Report - a monthly Newsletter-style publication, which didn’t last more than about 8 months. Still another publication called The Commission , which was never launched. Two issues were created, but the idea was scrubbed because “it didn’t have the necessary appeal to its founders. Before Influence, a periodical, a non-newsletter called UPDATES for the SynerVision Leadership Foundation was birthed in June of 2021. Four years of providing information, education, leadership, marketing, fundraising, donor relations, and contributing author pieces of interest have been one constant until recent days. UPDATES had run its course and is now replaced with a quarterly publication, “Lead Forward Magazine.” Still a Super-Quality publication, still offering great content, and contributing authors, leadership knowledge-share, and so much more. It supports SynerVision Leadership Foundation and the C-Suite Network’s Nonprofit Prosperity Council - Philanthropy Redefined. I happen to be its Co-Founder. This brings us to the current day - July 2025. This WOMEN OF POWER issue is dedicated annually to the power of the female persuasion, tenacity, grit, perseverance, against-all-odds. Women make up slightly more than half the population of this world, yet fail to receive the recognition they so rightly deserve. I have always contended that WOMEN are the ones with their heads on straight, their heart in the right place, and would do a so much better job running this world than any man could.
This publication will be two years old in September, which will be the issue after this one reaches maturity in August, as the inaugural issue debuted in September of 2023.
