With more than 30 years of building experience, she has led Taylor Morrison into the top ranks of America’s largest public home builders.

The ONE Thing You Need to Succeed in 2016

December 3, 2015 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

ProfitLadies, I’m going to come out with something that I think we’re all feeling these days…

As a woman entrepreneur, there is nothing more draining than hearing about yet another bright, shiny tactic to grow your business today.

You want to be at the top of your game, but it seems like unless you sit chained to your computer every day, creating Facebook Ads, writing email marketing promotions, or producing a Web TV show, you’ll disappear into oblivion.

Trust me, being an entrepreneur can (and should!) be way more fun and exciting than this. There are many simple ways to generate profits that you simply don’t hear much about these days. But they are extremely effective.

Smart Women in a Wild, Wacky World

March 24, 2011 | By Joy Chudacoff 1 Comment

With everything that’s going on in the world right now, I hesitated to write this article. However, I felt called to share my reflections with you. There has been so much despair and devastation in the world lately that when something happens to us personally, we can try to shrug it off because “compared to what’s going on in the world, this is minor.” (This has been my “mantra” over the past week.) Although I believe this to be true, when something happens to you personally, it feels real and challenging. It can paralyze you and keep you from moving forward. It’s essential that you acknowledge what’s happening and find solutions to manage the madness of life.

Smart Women Deal With Their “Stuff”

October 29, 2009 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Today, I received an email from a very smart 10-29-09articlewoman who is just beginning her journey as an entrepreneur. In her email, she shared with me that lately she’s been noticing that a lot of “stuff” is coming up for her.  When I read this, I smiled.  I knew that my smart, courageous friend is getting out of her “comfort zone.”  Smart Women know that when they enter unfamiliar territory in life and business, “stuff” always shows up and can get in the way.

Making a decision to do something new or different in your life can get really uncomfortable.  It triggers all of your “stuff” down deep inside.  You may start to question everything you do and sometimes you wonder if you should continue with your new Big Idea, Dream, or Goal.  After all, you may not be overjoyed with your current life situation, job, or business but at least it’s familiar—right?  I remember a time in my life when I felt out of sorts, stuck and trapped, but at the same time I wasn’t sure if I had the courage to make the changes that were needed in order to feel whole, passionate and purposeful.

For example, when I decided to give birth to Smart Women Smart Solutions, there were many reasons why it wasn’t the most “ideal” time to begin something new.  For example, I had my son who was a toddler and was pregnant with my daughter.  My “stuff” seemed to pop up everywhere and follow me around with all of the reasons why now might not be the “right” time to start a new business.  “Who will take care of my son?”  “Now isn’t the right time”  “What if it doesn’t work?”  “What if I fail?”  Sound familiar?
