Will you join me in a few hours?

I’m working away here in my office preparing for my FREE call that’s coming up in just a few hours. Did you grab the call-in details yet?

In a rush? Go here now.

It’s easy to beat yourself up if you feel like you haven’t been moving forward in your business. I know because I’ve done it myself, many times.

You feel stuck and unsure what to do which can sometimes seem like failure. Nearly 7 years ago, I started my business with the dream of supporting women to their next Big Idea and help them achieve success in their lives and businesses. Although having a DREAM and a DESIRE were both essential in the beginning, I spent the first few years SURVIVING instead of THRIVING. My business was up and down every month and cash flow was inconsistent.

Fast forward to TODAY:

• I have a THRIVING business that has consistent cash flow month after month
• I work with my ideal client
• My work inspires me and my clients get results
• I have plenty of time for family and self-care

What Changed?

I changed! And along the way, I learned some BASIC, no-brainer easy-to-implement tips for business building that I’m going to share with you on a *special* call:

“Guarantee Your Success in 2012: Discover the 3 Keys to Consistent Cash Flow Doing Work You Love With Your Ideal Client!”

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 12:00pm Pacific / 3:00pm Eastern

I’m Fired Up For Success!

Hey Smart Women! I’m writing to you today from Ft. Lauderdale Florida where I’m visiting my Mom and sister, Rene 05-21-09joymomrenefor a “girl’s getaway.” We’ve gone to the beach, shopping, seen movies, shared delicious meals and great conversation. I’ll be on my way back to LA later today. I feel so fortunate to have had this time with my Mom and Sister.

Before I left for my trip last Saturday, an interesting thing happened: I lost my cell phone. You can imagine how I felt getting on a plane without a phone–a little anxious without that “link” to my family. There was a “hidden” opportunity: It gave me the time and space to be alone with my “committee of one.” I had time to reflect on my own personal vision without the impulse of calling someone else to see what they thought about my ideas. It also gave me a reason to reach out and talk to new people—going through security, in the airport terminal, on the plane. I am so curious about other people and what they’re thinking. There’s always a silver lining…

The F*r*e*e May Monthly Guest Interview call is coming up quick! On Wednesday, May 27, I’ll be on the telephone with JJ Virgin, interviewing her on a topic that we all struggle with at one time or another—-Weight Loss Resistance. I’ve known JJ for more than 15 years and she walks her talk. She’s always been fit and healthy. Her passion is nutrition and healthy living. In my mind, she’s an expert on the subject. Get registered! Details below!

Would you like to know what you can do to take your business to the next level of success? There are 3 proven strategies that I have used over and over again to attract more clients and create more business. I’m going to be sharing those on a 2-Part Teleclass Series – “Fired Up For Success!”, that I’ll be doing with Kim Schott of Schott Cultural Consulting on June 2 and June 9. To get registered, see the information below.

Be well,

Smart Women Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

Recently, I took my son Jack shopping for a new baseball glove. The old glove was too small 04-30-09newglovefor his hand and his coach felt that a new glove might be just the thing that he needed. We both enjoyed looking through all of the gloves. He tried on quite a few (The smell of all that leather was so wonderful!). He finally found a glove that was a perfect fit and away we went. He just happened to have baseball practice next so I was excited for him to try out his new purchase. As we approached the field, I noticed that Jack was beginning to feel both anxious and excited at the same time. He wanted to use his new glove but that feeling of being “comfortable” with the old glove took over. The new glove was a n unknown to Jack, so his performance with the new glove at this point was uncertain in his mind. He knew what he could do with the old glove. This got me thinking about how Smart Women feel the fear and do it anyway.

So many times we hold on to things that no longer “fit” in our lives (a job, a relationship, a baseball glove!) with the thought process that it’s comfortable, it’s not perfect but it’s ok, when in fact, it does not fit who we are anymore. I’ve learned over time that it’s more important to “let go” than to try and “hold on” to what doesn’t fit or what doesn’t work in our lives. Why? Because until you “let go” and create the space for something new, it’s quite possible the “new” in your life won’t materialize—there’s no place or space for it.

Smart Women “Experiment”

Recently, both my children participated in a science fair at their elementary04-02-09experiment school. My son, Jack, did an experiment that involved an electromagnet. My daughter, Jenna, was curious about how batteries work so she chose to make a “homemade battery.” Needless to say, my husband and I were challenged on both projects! This process got me thinking about how Smart Women could benefit from using “the scientific method” in their own lives both personally and professionally.

If you have not taken action yet on your Big Idea, Dream or Goal this year, there’s still plenty of time. One of the trends I’m noticing in my work with women right now is that many are using this time to “experiment” or become “curious” about what might be possible for them. Spring has arrived! It’s a great time to do this work. The days are becoming longer and nature is alive with possibilities for the coming months. It’s the perfect environment for real growth and opportunity both in your personal and professional life.

Here are some tips and solutions that you can easily use to “experiment” with some new possibilities in your own life:

1. Decide what you’re interested in. What do you dream about? In my Women’s Success Circles, there are several women who are “exploring” new business ideas. They are doing their research and trying on the possibilities just to see how it feels. One essential is to block out some dedicated time in your calendar to spend working on your Big Idea, your dream. Block out the time, just as you would for other tasks and make it a priority.

2. Become Curious. Once you decide what you will choose as your “experiment” ask yourself a few key questions:

a) How would I feel if this became a reality in my life?
b) How would my life or business be different?
c) If I achieved this, what would become possible for me?

3. Plan your “experiment.” Grab a large pad of paper and some colorful pens. Don’t use standard 8-1/2 x 11 paper. (How big can an idea get if it’s created on small paper?) Jot down some ideas about what you can do right now to explore your Dream or Big Idea more deeply. Do you have an idea for a product or service? Who would benefit most from your service? Keep a notebook just for this experiment so you will have all of your ideas and notes together. Go online, go to your local library, take classes, join a community of like-minded women who are on the same journey.

Free Teleseminar for Women Entrepreneurs

“The 5 Secrets Every Smart Woman Needs to Know to Double Her Business Growth”

In my late 30′s, I was busy running a million dollar company and had been for about 10 years. It was often challenging and exhausting. I was feeling drained, burned out, and not energetic and passionate about my work anymore. I had lost my spark. Have you ever felt this way about your company or work? Have you ever felt a sudden shift from loving what you do, to feeling like it has taken the life out of you?

I soon realized what my Big Idea and Dream was. I felt that my true calling was to take all of the knowledge I had gained as a woman in business and a woman in transition and share it with women everywhere who might be going through the same process. These are the tools and solutions that I’ll be sharing with you on this call.

Did you hear the news? My Women’s Success Circles are back! Yep, I’ve decided to launch the FREE Sample Success Circles during February – the Passion month and I want you to join me!

Last week, one of my readers, Amy from Georgia, shared a bold, courageous statement with me. “Joy, I’m tired of living a Status-Quo life.” As I talk with other women around the globe, I hear similar comments all the time. Many of you are out there searching for your Passion – your Purpose – your Plan. The Women’s Success Circle will be perfect for Amy and it could be exactly what you are looking for too!

Are you…

Ready For Change?

Dreaming of Your Next Act?

Ready to Re-Invent Yourself?

Ready to Explore and Discover Your True Passion?

If you answered Yes to even one of these questions, then my Women’s Success Circle – Passion, Purpose, Plan is for you!

“Sometimes life, even when it’s good, can seem like a runaway train. The Circle gave me the time, space and support from Joy and the other women to stop for a moment and really think about what was next for me. And then I was given the tools to figure out how to accomplish the goals I set out for myself.” ~Beth Osisek

Over the last 4 years, I’ve developed a simple 6-Step Success Circle to help women discover their true Passion and their true Purpose.

I used this simple process to completely re-invent my own life both personally and professionally over 8 years ago.

Over the next couple of weeks I’m hosting a FREE Live Sample Circle here in Los Angeles and for the first time ever, a FREE Sample Circle Teleclass and I want you to join me! By attending the totally free sample Circles, you’ll have a very clear understanding of what we do in our monthly gatherings and on our calls so you know if it’s a good fit for you.

Our Circle gatherings in Los Angeles are always held at the beautiful and peaceful Inn at Playa del Rey in Los Angeles. During each Circle gathering you can expect to experience the support of other women in a safe, confidential setting prepared especially for you to focus, strategize and set your most important goals.

Our Circle Teleclasses will always have open lines so you can communicate freely and get to know the other women in the teleclass. In these information rich calls, you will explore and discover what’s next for you and develop a clear plan of action to move forward.

“As a busy working mom, I made a commitment to these monthly meetings and am so happy that I managed to make all six and am now in the Alumnae Circle. The power of women’s energy and spirit coming together gave me a deeper understanding of myself and my purpose. Although I initially resisted writing down my goals, I found that in doing so I achieved them much faster than I’d imagined I would.” ~Debra A. Lauzon, Attorney, Lauzon & Euler, LLP

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Hey There, Smart Women! How’s your week? The first thing we do in my Women’s Success Circles is open with our challenges and celebrations. Each woman begins with any challenge that she might be facing and ends with a celebration in her life. My week has certainly been full of both! The biggest challenge was that my husband Greg has been ill and actually ended up being admitted to the hospital. Many of my readers know that Greg had a successful kidney transplant over 10 years ago. We’ve hit a few roadblocks lately, however I’m sure the “detour” we are on will be met with new roads of possibility!

Juggling Greg’s ill health, taking care of our two children, and running a business has kept me extra busy! 01-29-09seesawThe celebration is that I have felt such an overwhelming sense of support, not only from my family and friends, but also from my community as well. I received calls from the principal of my children’s school, neighbors, and community members asking what they could do to be there for our family. From taking kids to school, picking them up, feeding them…you name it. The support is there. I invite you to stop and take a look around you right now. Is your support system solid? Do you have people that you can call on in an emergency? The best way to ensure that you have a great support system is to be a great support system for others. Pay it forward…
