Elementary Graduation, Ali Brown’s Business Bliss Live & Happy Father’s Day

June 13, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

06-13-14Note Jenna-dance-june-2014 Last week was an emotional one for me. Our youngest child Jenna, “graduated” elementary school and is on her way to middle school in the fall. I went through a whole host of emotions – happy, sad and mostly feelings of loss as an era has closed in my life. Gone are the morning walks to school and having Mr. “G”, our crossing guard for seven years, guide us safely to the other side of the street. Life is constantly in motion and the only thing you can be sure of is change. Make sure you spend your days meaningfully.    : -)

Do you have Bliss in your Biz?

June 5, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Many women I meet tell me that the reason they started their business was out of a passion for something or to make a difference in people's lives.

Yes, we all want to make more money and have a successful venture. And it's fun to have accolades and build something powerful. But it's the vehicle to our bliss.

Ali Brown and I have had this conversation recently and we believe there's so much interest on this subject that Ali has decided to host a LIVE web show on this topic, two weeks from today on June 17 and I'll be joining her!

It's called “Business Bliss Live: More Money, Less Stress, Real Purpose”, and I hope you'll join Ali and I for this special event. It's free and you can reserve your spot here now: http://bit.ly/alibliss

06-05-14Announcement Ali-Brown-Joy-Chudacoff-blissWe're calling it a “web show”, because it's going to be a lot more fun than usual. And a few surprise guests! Ali even rented out a TV studio for the occasion.

Go here now to see what we will be teaching and sharing during this special 4-hour LIVE web event!

And of course, reserve your spot now so you can join us!

I'm really looking forward to it!

Be well,

P.S. Bliss is defined as “supreme happiness… utter joy and contentment”. Want to find your Business Bliss? Reserve your spot here now for this free event: http://bit.ly/alibliss

Spring Time, Elevate Live Event & Memorable First Impressions

March 21, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Happy first day of spring! I love celebrating this day as it serves as a reminder to me that change is normal, natural and necessary if we are to truly live a meaningful life.

I had the good fortune to spend a few days this week with members of the Elevate community here in LA at the Elevate Live event. I met many new people who are just beginning their entrepreneurial journey and reconnected with members who are grounded in their continued business vision. It's truly an honor and a privilege to coach alongside Ali Brown, Sue Painter and James Roche – three coaches who are tops in my book!

Ready to discover proven, time-tested coaching secrets?

December 10, 2013 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

12-10-13Announcement Ali BrownCoaching is an incredibly rewarding business. But it's also one of the most frustrating–if you don't have a solid plan for your business to generate some serious profits. I, along with my colleague and mentor Ali Brown have seen so many coaches struggle and never reach their potential, because they get stuck in the mud of financial worries.

They want to do what they love, and help others, but they just aren't making the profits to take off and REALLY soar. I'm here to tell you it absolutely does not have to be that way! That's why I'm inviting you to join Ali and I for a free webinar, called “9 Steps to Growing a Wildly Profitable Coaching Business” on Thursday, December 12, at 3pm ET.

FOLLOW THIS LINK TO REGISTER NOW!

I'll be Co-leading this webinar with Ali Brown, so you'll be learning from not just one but TWO successful coaches who have powerful expertise to share, and the profits to prove it!

Here are just a FEW of the juicy bits we'll be covering during this webinar:

* Your coaching prescription for reaching $100,000+ in revenues a year with one part-time assistant… and NO live events. (You can also choose to go smaller… or aim much, much higher… but $100-200K is a very happy goal for many folks. We'll explain why, and lay out a plan for you on the spot.)

* “Toto… We're not in Kansas anymore!” How the coaching industry has changed dramatically over the last few years (there are pros and cons), and what you need to know NOW in order to be profitable and grow.

* How to plan for profit from the start–including getting your first $$$ clients. (We both “accidentally” discovered coaching as a business in the beginning, and we'll share what you can learn from our mistakes with price points, timelines, and promises.)

* Why you DON'T need 10 or 20 different marketing strategies–but you do need to know YOUR best 3. (Don't worry; we'll help you figure this out! We know it's overwhelming out there right now.)

* And of course, your complete “9 Steps to Growing a Wildly Profitable Coaching Business!” Have your paper and pen ready, because we'll be covering a lot of information.

I can't wait to have you join us on this special, information-rich webinar!

Get Ready to Thrive!

September 4, 2012 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

I don't usually get into gender politics, but my own mentor Ali Brown is making a pretty good case for how WOMEN are beginning to dominate the entrepreneurial world.

And the funny thing is, most women aren't looking to “dominate”. This transition and growth is happening naturally, simply because technology and business have evolved… to allow us to THRIVE.

She lays it all out in this video: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

I just watched it. And honestly, it blew me away.

Ali shares how current opportunities are making it EASIER than ever for us to create the incomes and lives we always dreamed of.

But for most women, our STRATEGIES and ACTIONS have NOT caught up with the immense possibilities right in front of us.

In this video, she shares some fascinating stats and insights on WHY this is happening (I love her research), and she reveals the simple solutions for us to THRIVE: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

These videos are online and F'REE for a just a week or two, so you definitely want to go there now before you forget. She even gives a cool little exercise on how to “get back to your why”, so you get re-energized anytime you need to.

Let me know what you think.

Again, here's where you want to go: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

To your success,

Joy Chudacoff

P.S. You've probably heard of Ali from her transformational experience on ABC's “Secret Millionaire”, or perhaps her being one of Forbes' “Women to Watch”. But what I love most about this gal is she's got SOUL. As much as she's accomplished, starting from scratch, she's really fun and down to earth. Watch and see what I mean here: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

Summer Camp, Marketing and The Whole Enchilada

July 14, 2011 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Hi there Smart Women! How are you? I'm officially in summer mode schedule with kids camps all throughout the city which means I'm in the car a lot more than I'm used to. It's given me an opportunity to embrace my patience at a whole new level. :-)

Yesterday, I facilitated an amazing event with the Broads Circle, a women's networking organization here in Los Angeles. I had the opportunity to interview three women who are experts in the field of marketing in a crowded room of 75 women! Marketing is a hot topic and women all around LA turned out for this event. Here I am with Ali Brown, myself, Merri Jill Finstrom, Tracy Olmstead Williams, and Darya Allen-Attar.
