She's Got Moxie Show Last week, my family and I had to evacuate our home in southern California. My kids wanted to take a lot of stuff with us but I just took a few things.

I ended up going back into the house and grabbed something that I had purchased after I started my first business 28 years ago.

This gift to myself was a symbol for me that I was going to make it as an entrepreneur.

In the spirit of that, I'm sharing 7 Questions You Need to Answer to Get Your Audiences Attention in order to help you as an entrepreneur.

Critical Moment #2 – When Your Client Needs You More Than Ever

December 4, 2015 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I shared Critical Moment #1 with you on how you can convert more sales and get new clients fast by simply using the 24 hour response rule.

Critical Moment #2 is just as important. You have a new client or customer – now what?

Right after the purchase – When your customers have spent money with you, it’s important that they are reassured that they made the right decision, are going to get their money’s worth, and can relax and get excited about what’s in store for them. If you leave them with a gaping hole that doesn’t confirm anything, they’re going to start filling up the empty space with their own emotions, which could be buyer’s remorse, fear, anxiety, dread, guilt.

It’s up to you to reach out and acknowledge them for their time and investment, and remind them why their decision to work with you is going to pay off.

The registration investment for my next MOXIE Retreat is getting ready to increase in 2 Days! Yep, after Thursday, October 15, the price is going UP.

Reserve in just 5 minutes: Simply jump on over to our registration page so you can reserve your seat using our easy pay option.

I must warn you that seating is limited and the registration investment increases after Thursday, October 15. Here's another reason you'll want to grab your seat now. The women who've made the smart decision to register so far are highly successful, very smart, and extremely well-connected which means not only is there the possibility of collaborating with these already very successful business women but…the cumulative amount of sound business experience that will be in the room will probably be more than 500 years' worth…with plenty of opportunity to share and learn from each other.

If you have questions about the event, my team is ready and excited to jump on the phone with you. All you need to do is send us a quick email to info@smartwomensolutions.com and either Kathy or Lynne will happily assist you.

A New Idea, A New Brand, And What’s Next

November 21, 2014 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

After I released my first book, “What's Next?: The 7 Steps to Discover Your Big Idea and Create a Wildly Successful Business” in the fall of 2013, I was overcome with a feeling of emptiness. I was living in my body but there should have been a sign around my neck that said “unoccupied.” I had given so much of my creative energy to the writing process for the book. Oddly enough, I was beginning to feel the “What's Next?” question floating around inside my own head.

Here's what I know for sure: I LOVE my business and my clients – Period. I sometimes feel like I'm in a dream and someone is going to wake me up and tell me it's all over, get dressed and report to my cubicle by 9am.

But…something was stirring inside of me…

I knew change was on the horizon. I just didn't know what it was.

I took the same advice I give to all the fabulous women entrepreneurs and business owners I work with: “Don't rush the process. Allow the idea to unfold organically in it's own time.” Intuitively, I knew that if I rushed this evolution, I would waste valuable time, energy and effort and wind up in the wrong direction.

Do You Have a Trusted Mentor?

Remember Lucy Van Pelt in the comic strip Charlie Brown? I woke this morning thinking about one of her famous lines, “I told you so, you blockhead!” Lucy was known for setting up a psychiatric booth in the neighborhood offering advice to her friends for five cents per person. Clearly she caught the entrepreneurial bug early but I'm not sure I'd want to get my business direction from her. : -) This got me thinking about how women entrepreneurs need to be cautious when seeking advice, coaching and mentoring on their road to success.

When I first had the idea to birth Smart Women Smart Solutions®, something happened that nearly convinced me to hang up my coaching hat before I got started. I was attending a party with my husband and shortly after we arrived, I ran into an old acquaintance. I could hardly contain my excitement about my new business idea. After our initial conversation, I blurted out my new big idea and guess what happened? I'll never forget it. She had this loud, high-pitched laugh that carried across the room and with a flip of the hand, she said as loudly as she could, “Ha! That will never work! Women will never pay for that. That's why we have coffee meetings and girls night out!” She turned on her heel and waltzed away leaving me there with my glass of red wine and a broken spirit. : -(

One of the questions I get asked often by women entrepreneurs is, “Joy, once I’ve created a relationship with my ideal client, how do I get them to buy from me?” Great question!
