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!”

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.

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.

In order for things to change in your life, you have to change. I had a mentor who always told me, “Change does not always mean success, but success always means change.” As a woman and entrepreneur, I’ve been at the crossroads of change more than once. For example, I gave birth to my second child at age 42, was in the midst of making a complete career change and birthing my Big Idea, Smart Women Smart Solutions. Was it scary? You bet. Was it worth it? Absolutely.

Have you been thinking about doing something new in your life? Do you have a Big Idea that you want to step into but fear of the unknown keeps you stuck right where you are in your comfort zone? If you answered Yes, then guess what? You are not alone. So many women visualize a dream or goal that they want to have happen in their lives. You see something that you want but instead of becoming a reality, it stays in the dream phase of your life. You get comfortable in that old way of being. You tell yourself, “It works, it’s reliable.” You begin to think about everything that might go wrong if you go for your goal or dream. Am I right?

Two days ago, we went to Jack’s first game since he acquired the new glove. He and I had spent time talking about his feeling comfortable using the new glove (He was still carrying his old glove in his bag). I could tell he was unclear about which choice he would make. I told him that he would know what to do when the time came. As I watched my son walk out to take his position in Right Field that afternoon, I noticed the new glove in his hand and my heart began to beat wildly. He looked over at me in the stands with a sort of question on his face. I gave him a smile and a nod. For a moment, that old fear crept up in me as well. Would he catch a fly ball with this new glove if it came his way? The game began. About halfway through the first inning, a boy hit a fly ball straight out to Right Field. My heart felt like it was coming out of my body. I held my breath. Guess what? Jack caught it! That was the 3rd out. My son came racing off the field, out of the dugout and came running up to me with what I think was the biggest smile he’s ever had! “Mom, did you see that!? It works! The glove works!”

Yes, of course I saw it. I knew it would work. Here’s what I know for sure: Jack needed to feel the fear and do it anyway. I need to. And you do too.

Anything is possible. Everything is waiting for you.

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.

4. Don’t Give Up. “Experiments” can sometimes be frustrating as you are trying something “new” in your life. Get some support from the positive people around you during this time. Spend time with people who champion you, who believe in you. My son Jack’s experiment with Electromagnets went well on the very first try. My daughter Jenna’s “homemade battery” experiment did not work. She tried it two different ways and spent a lot of time trying to make it work. I think we all learned a lot more from Jenna’s experiment. Jenna was quite sad when her “experiment” did not work out the way she had hoped. I shared a story with her about Einstein who had over 10,000 “experiments” with little or no success before he managed to discover his Big Ideas.

5. Create a Conclusion. What did you learn from your “experiment?” Did you find yourself full of energy and ready to take the leap towards your Big Idea, Dream or Goal? Did you learn some interesting information along the way about yourself? Did you come up with even more ideas on how you will make your dream come true?

6. Make It Happen. If you loved all of the possibilities you discovered during your “experiment,” take that leap of faith and make it happen. Find a coach, mentor or join a group of women who can support you to move your Big Idea, Dream or goal forward. One of my Women’s Success Circle members reported that it was the community of supportive women on the same journey that propelled her forward toward realizing her dream. Knowing that there are other women who gather together on a regular basis kept her working on her “experiment” and bringing it to fruition.

I invite you to use this time to explore and discover your Big Idea, Dreams and Goals. There is no better time than right now. The door to new possibilities, new ways of being and new growth is standing wide open waiting for you to enter.

Anything is possible. Everything is waiting for you.

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.

I’m also going to share with you the essentials that you need to take your business from “Start-Up” to “Success.” Before you know it you’ll go from marketing to one to marketing to many in less time.

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
