Business, beauty, and play
I loved your last issue of Ali Magazine. It is all-inclusive for business, beauty, and play alongside diversity. You are on to something (more) with this one.

Though I’m quite aware of Tyra Banks’ and Sara Blakely’s successes, reading these articles reignited a project that I had been working on and set aside. Thanks for the infusion of great energy.

Your tag line is on the money—literally.

Successful and feminine
I just cancelled my subscription to a well-known success magazine. I’d been struggling to read it for months. It always felt like I was trying on someone else’s skin when I read the articles, or listened to the accompanying CDs.

My August/September issue of Ali Magazine arrived today. I read the entire issue in one sitting. I flagged five articles that provide concrete information to help move my business forward. I really enjoyed the stories of all the women entrepreneurs, in many different fields, who are marvelously successful—
even though many of them do not have MBAs or business backgrounds.

Thank you for providing more role models for women entrepreneurs. Ali Magazine is much more holistic than any other business publication I’ve found so far. I feel like you’ve given me permission to be successful AND feminine at the same time. That’s a message I certainly never heard in the corporate world!

Mom says right on target
My 80-year-old super entrepreneur Mom came to visit, and picked up my Ali Magazine for a quick flick through. About an hour later she was saying, “Have you read this article? Have you read that? This is the magazine I waited my whole life for.” There’s nothing else like it, Ali, you’re right on target.

You get me!
I sat down with the August/September issue of Ali Magazine to tear out articles to read later and to cull some pics for my vision board. I did those two things (eventually), but not before reading most of the articles and checking out the goodies in clothing, purses, accessories, and recommended makeup for my skin type. You get me.

The “Strategic Planning Blueprint” was a good kick in the pants reminding me to review my long-term goals and to break those down into achievable segments with deadlines.
Thanks, I needed that!

Captivating and inspiring
Ali Magazine has become my all-time favorite magazine, and I am delighted when each new issue arrives in my mailbox. I find the articles captivating, inspiring, and filled with a wealth of useful information and practical wisdom. I also love the focus on fashion and ideas to create your best life. Ali and her talented staff are really showing readers how to live our good fortune and design a business and personal life that shines. Thanks, Ali, for sharing your passion and making an amazing contribution to female entrepreneurs.

I’m in love
“I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with Ali Magazine.” Each issue contains gems, and I especially resonated with the articles in the June/July issue, “Can you Sculpt your Body?” and Ali’s article on mindset and moving out of fear to opportunity. I find the articles timely, smart, enlightening, and thought provoking. The combination of mindset, entrées, fashion, leisure, and self-care is a winning bouquet.

Hope and passion
Ali, you were featured on Good Morning Memphis while I was lying in bed. You have given me hope and the passion to live my dreams. I currently work for Northwest Airlines. I appreciate your drive for success, and I will use you as a mentor in starting my own customer service business. You gave me so much hope on this day—it will live in my heart forever. Thanks again, and keep up the amazing journey.
