Welcome to the Journey: Your Financial Leadership Adventure Starts Now! 🚀

October 14, 2025•2 min read

However you landed here—whether we connected at an event, you downloaded a resource, or you're a leader supporting the next generation of talent—I’m genuinely glad you’re here.

You've already taken the most important step: deciding to build a financial life on your terms. But maybe you've hit a wall. You've read the books, tried the budgeting apps, and absorbed the advice, yet true, lasting control feels just out of reach.

That's because knowing how money works isn't the same as knowing how you work with money (seriously, read that again).


Beyond the Map: The Shift from Literacy to Leadership

In a world overflowing with financial information, we at My Stewardship Journey don't offer more literacy. We offer Financial Leadership.

Think of it this way: Financial literacy gives you the map and compass. Financial leadership is knowing yourself well enough to navigate the terrain, adjust to bad weather, and consistently march toward your destination.

Budgeting is a necessary tool, yes—but it's not the end goal. What good is a perfect plan if you don’t have the systems, accountability, and habits to make it a reality?


Charting Your Course: What is Financial Self-Leadership?

My name is Autumn Green, the Founder of My Stewardship Journey, and our mission is to teach financial self-leadership. This is the consistent, systematic way you execute, adjust, and act with integrity in pursuit of your financial goals. Our entire philosophy is built on five core shifts in perspective:

  • Leadership Over Literacy: We develop financial leaders, not just educated consumers. Knowing how money works is just the start; leading your money is the mastery.

  • Execution Over Education: Our focus is on knowing by doing. We prioritize consistent action over passively absorbing information.

  • System Over Strategies: We help you build one repeatable approach through our Payday Protocol ™ rather than forcing you to juggle multiple scattered tactics. Simplicity fuels sustainability.

  • Community Over Individual: We believe in the power of accountability partners to reduce your reliance on sheer willpower. You don't have to do this alone.

  • Command Over Circumstances: We equip you to build financial resilience so you can thrive regardless of external economic conditions.
