How to Become a Magnet For Good Things in Your Life

September 7, 2022 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Find Your Clarity of Purpose on She's Got Moxie with Joy ChudacoffToday I talk about how you can become a magnet for good things in your life. It seems like everyone I speak with lately is struggling to find a sense of peace so today I’m going to talk about something that I know will help:

Certainty of Purpose. Do you have it?

Once we master clarity in our business and life, we can see the effects spill over into our personal lives and the lives of those we work with. We become magnets for good things in our lives. There is a great power that comes with activating clarity and harnessing this power is necessary if we want to lead with ease. In this episode, I share my own definition of clarity and explain how to find it — both in your business and your personal life. I also talk about the certainty of purpose and how valuable it is as you attempt to stay on track.

Listen in to learn how you can learn to lead with ease, why you should prioritize getting clarity of purpose, and tips for finding your certainty of purpose.

Jessica Chang is on a mission to transform childcare in the U.S.

She is an entrepreneur, CEO, and Co-founder of WeeCare, the largest network of childcare providers in the US (in only 5 years!).

So she decided to do something about it.

Listen in as Jessica talks about her pivot during the pandemic, how to get out of bed on difficult days, and the worst startup advice she’s ever heard.
