ALABAMA, US

Stephen Powell, Founder and CEO of Powell Financials, announces the release of Financial Fortress: Protect Your Money, Grow Your Wealth, Build Your Legacy, a financial education book designed to help families rethink the way they approach money, preparedness, and long-term security.

Financial Fortress is written for readers who have worked hard, saved what they could, invested where they were told, and still wonder whether their financial life is truly protected. Rather than focusing only on accumulation, Powell encourages readers to look deeper and ask whether their money is structured to support them through taxes, market volatility, lack of access, inflation, family needs, retirement decisions, and legacy planning.

The book centers on four major pillars: protection, growth, control, and legacy. Through this framework, Powell explains that wealth is not only something to earn, save, or invest. It is something to structure with purpose. Each pillar is presented in clear, accessible language so readers can better understand the role of preparation, financial education, and intentional decision-making.

Powell’s message is deeply personal. In 2022, he survived a life-threatening aortic dissection, an experience that changed the way he viewed family, income, responsibility, and financial preparedness. That moment became a turning point in his mission to help families think beyond account balances and begin building financial structures that can stand strong when life changes without warning.

“Financial Fortress was written to help people ask better questions,” Powell says. “Many families are doing what they were told to do, but they still feel exposed. My goal is to help readers look beyond growth alone and begin thinking about protection, access, control, and legacy.”

The book also explores the common threats that can quietly weaken wealth over time. Powell discusses how taxes can affect the amount families actually keep, how market timing can influence retirement income, how limited access can create pressure during emergencies, and how inflation can reduce purchasing power. These ideas are presented as educational concepts, not personalized advice, giving readers a clearer foundation for more informed conversations with qualified professionals.

As the founder of Powell Financials, Powell works with families across the United States. His approach is rooted in education, clarity, and trust. He believes clients should be treated like family and that financial conversations should empower people rather than overwhelm them.

Financial Fortress is not positioned as a one-size-fits-all financial answer. Instead, it is a guide for awareness and preparation. The book invites readers to examine their current financial structure, identify potential gaps, and consider whether their plan is built only for ideal conditions or for real life. For readers who feel uncertain about what they may be missing, the book offers a clear starting point for reflection, education, and more intentional planning conversations.

By combining personal experience, practical education, and a clear four-pillar framework, Financial Fortress speaks to families who want more than a larger balance. It speaks to readers who want confidence, clarity, flexibility, and a legacy that can continue beyond them.

Financial Fortress: Protect Your Money, Grow Your Wealth, Build Your Legacy is available through Powell Financials.

NordFX continues to support flexible trading by giving clients seamless access to the financial markets through the MetaTrader 5 Web Terminal, allowing them to trade directly from any modern web browser without installing additional software.

As financial markets become increasingly accessible across multiple devices, traders are placing greater value on flexibility and uninterrupted market access. Whether working from home, traveling, or using a different computer, many traders want the ability to monitor positions and execute trades without relying on a dedicated desktop platform.

To support these evolving trading habits, NordFX offers browser-based access through the MetaTrader 5 Web Terminal, enabling clients to access their trading accounts directly from a web browser. The solution complements the company’s existing desktop and mobile trading applications, allowing traders to choose the environment that best suits their daily routine.

The MetaTrader 5 Web Terminal provides access to live market prices, interactive charts, multiple order types, technical analysis tools, and real-time account management. Because it operates entirely within a browser, there is no need to download or install software, making it a practical option for traders who frequently switch between devices or need secure access while away from their primary workstation.

Rather than replacing traditional desktop trading, browser-based access has become an important part of a modern multi-device trading experience. Many traders use desktop terminals for detailed market analysis while relying on browser access for monitoring positions, reacting to market movements, or managing trades from virtually anywhere.

“Today’s traders expect flexibility,” said Vanessa Polson, Marketing Manager at NordFX. “Trading is no longer limited to a single computer or workplace. By providing browser-based access alongside desktop and mobile platforms, we help our clients stay connected to the markets wherever they are, without compromising convenience or functionality.”

The MetaTrader 5 Web Terminal synchronizes with a trader’s existing account, allowing users to access their positions, order history, watchlists, and account information through a familiar interface. Since no installation is required, traders can quickly log in from almost any internet-connected device while maintaining access to the essential tools needed for day-to-day trading.

The availability of browser-based trading also reflects a broader trend across the financial industry. As cloud-based services continue to reshape digital finance, traders increasingly expect the same level of accessibility from their trading platforms. Fast access, seamless synchronization, and the ability to move between desktop, mobile, and browser environments have become valuable features for both active and occasional market participants.

By offering multiple ways to access the markets, NordFX continues to focus on delivering practical trading solutions that adapt to the changing needs of clients around the world. Whether traders prefer a desktop platform for advanced analysis, a mobile app while on the move, or browser-based access for maximum convenience, they can choose the environment that best fits their trading style.

NEW YORK, USA

The Los Angeles-based publication notes that Canfield has spent decades studying achievement, purpose, and human potential, while inspiring millions through the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, The Success Principles, and other personal empowerment bestsellers. Canfield’s enthusiastic endorsement has helped to generate widespread media interest in Cossolotto’s book, resulting in a flurry of high-profile articles and interviews with the author.

Author and speaker Matthew Cossolotto announced that Times LA has published a feature examining Jack Canfield’s foreword to Cossolotto’s new book, Harness Your PromisePower.

https://www.timesla.com/jack-canfield-co-creator-of-the-chicken-soup-for-the-soul-series-contributes-an-extensive-and-revealing-foreword-for-matthew-cossolottos-new-book-harness-your-promisepower/

Canfield’s foreword examines the role of promises in personal achievement and includes the story of a promise that influenced his own career.

Los Angeles-based Times LA – an independent publication founded in 2018 that focuses on entrepreneurship, lifestyle, fashion, and travel – published a feature article spotlighting Jack Canfield’s “extensive and revealing” foreword to Matthew Cossolotto’s new book, Harness Your PromisePower.

The Times LA article notes that Canfield has spent decades studying achievement, purpose, and human potential, while inspiring millions through the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, The Success Principles, and other personal empowerment bestsellers. He has seen countless self-help trends come and go over the years. Armed with that background, Canfield describes in his foreword that the concept of PromisePower  immediately stood out to him as uniquely powerful.

“When Matthew first told me about the heartfelt promise he made to his mother and that he was launching a special day called ‘Make a Promise Day’ on May 4th, I was hooked. You could say he had me at ‘I promise.’ There was something very attractive, almost magnetic, about this concept. And I say that as somebody who has been intimately involved in the personal development field for many years. I’ve seen and heard just about everything.”

According to the Times LA feature story, perhaps the most memorable part of Canfield’s foreword is the deeply personal promise story. He reveals the purpose-defining promise he made to God age 27. Canfield writes: “I promised I would spend the rest of my life learning and teaching others about wisdom and love.”

That promise led him to collect inspirational stories that eventually became Chicken Soup for the Soul, a publishing phenomenon that has grown to more than 250 titles, over 610 million copies in print, and translations into at least 43 languages.

“There truly is something special about a promise,” Canfield writes in his foreword, “and I congratulate Matthew for shining a spotlight on this unique power through this book, his speeches, and his workshops.”

In addition to Canfield’s foreword, Harness Your PromisePower features promise stories and insights from respected leaders and famous personalities, including Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Lewis Howes, Todd Newton, John Assaraf, Marques Ogden, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Lisa Nichols, Brendon Burchard, and others.

Best-selling author John Assaraf shares a poignant promise story in the book and explains why the PromisePower concept resonates so strongly with him.

“There is something uniquely powerful about making a promise that goes beyond traditional goal setting… We are neurologically wired to keep our promises.”

The Times LA story also explains that Cossolotto’s Harness Your PromisePower is deeply rooted in a life-changing promise. More than twenty-five years ago, the author promised his dying mother that he would complete the book she had encouraged him to write and dedicate it to her memory. She looked up at him and said: “You do that, Matthew. You do that. This makes me very happy.” Cossolotto kept that promise.

The article continues: “That make-or-break promise put him on his current path as an author, speaker, and coach. Today, Cossolotto speaks to audiences about his book, The Joy of Public Speaking, the habits of SUCCESS, and PromisePower. His work also includes the creation of Make a Promise Day, observed on May 4, encouraging people everywhere to make meaningful promises that improve their lives and strengthen their integrity.”

About Matthew Cossolotto

Matthew Cossolotto’s personal empowerment trilogy includes the award-winning The Joy of Public Speaking, published in 2021; Harness Your PromisePower and the forthcoming Harness Your HabitForce, which highlights the seven habits of FAILURE and the equal-but-opposite habits of SUCCESS. He also offers a lineup of Personal Empowerment Programs (PEPTalks) that are animated by a core concept: Success is an inside job.

Before becoming an author and speaker, Cossolotto served as a speechwriter for senior officials at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Chancellor of UCLA, Fortune 100 executives, and as an aide to former Congressman Leon Panetta.
