WHAT IS PROSTART?
More Than a Name — It's a Way of Life
ProStart is a philosophy built for people who refuse to sit on the sidelines of their
own lives. It begins with three powerful principles that prepare you to show up —
every single day — fully ready.
P IS FOR
Preparation
Living life ready means doing the work before the moment arrives. Preparation isn't about predicting the future, it's about building the skills, mindset, and habits that allow you to act with confidence when opportunity knocks. You don't rise to the occasion; you fall back on your preparation.
R IS FOR
Resilience
Life will challenge you. Setbacks, detours, and disappointments are not signs that you're on the wrong path; they're proof that you're on a path worth walking. Resilience is the muscle that keeps you moving forward when everything says stop. It's not about avoiding the fall; it's about mastering the comeback.
O IS FOR
Opportunity
Opportunity rarely announces itself with fanfare. It appears in the spaces between your preparation and your courage. When you live life ready, you stop waiting for permission and start recognizing the doors that were always open. Every conversation, every challenge, every season holds the seed of something greater.
To live life ready is to make a daily decision — a commitment to yourself — that you will not be caught off guard by your own destiny. It means waking up with intention, moving through your day with purpose, and resting knowing you gave it everything.
It's not about having all the answers. It's about trusting that your Preparation has laid the groundwork, your Resilience will carry you through, and your awareness of Opportunity will keep your eyes wide open to what's possible.
That is the ProStart life.

Born the ninth child of ten children, Mildred’s personal journeys of joys and
sorrows, victories and setbacks, have shaped her life. Those life experiences are the
inspiration for each of the 31 Power Thoughts. And it is her faith in God that is the
foundation for her belief in the power of renewing one’s mind in order to transform one’s
life.
The recipient of the Woman of Distinction Award presented by the Girl Scouts of
