Sound Advice For Women Business Owners and More About My Align Retreat 2017

September 23, 2016 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Today, when I was out taking my morning walk, my mind wandered to a Women's Business luncheon I recently attended where I overheard someone giving another businesswoman advice about a subject she was obviously not qualified to give. The advice she was sharing was actually scary. I thought, “Geez, I sure hope this woman doesn't do what she's being advised to do.”

I then thought, while I really wanted to, it was not my place to save either of these women but I wanted to make sure I share some very important information I learned from my own experiences, with the businesswomen I can and do support.

For some sound advice, listen to my four minute audio:


When I think back to ALL the BIG leaps in success & income I’ve had over the years, I realize that a combination of two important things were present:

Smart Women Plan Ahead

May 10, 2012 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Recently, I made a trip to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) here in Los Angeles to renew my driver’s license. I made a smart choice by scheduling an appointment for my renewal rather than “winging it” as a “walk in.” As I approached the DMV in my car, I saw scores of people forming a line that wrapped around the outside of the building. As you can imagine, my heart began to race at the prospect of standing in a line that long. I began a mental scan of my “to do” list in my head with a bit of anxiety about how lengthy this process might be.

After parking my car, I approached the line of at least 75 people and asked one man, “Is this the line for appointments?” The man replied, “Oh no, that’s inside.” I took a deep sigh of relief and continued on through the front door. I immediately saw the “Appointment Line” which had only 2 people ahead of me. This got me thinking about how Smart Women understand the value of making an appointment rather than “winging it” in every area of their lives.

Smart Women Practice Quality Not Quantity

July 29, 2010 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Last weekend, I spent the day alone with my 7 year-old daughter Jenna and it was grand.  We went shopping, had lunch together and enjoyed a great afternoon.  I felt a much stronger bond with her when the day ended.  This got me thinking about how it’s the quality of the time you spend and not the quantity that matters in every area of your life.

Smart Women and the Race Against Time

February 11, 2010 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

Over the last few days, I’ve spent some time with women entrepreneurs who are all having the same challenge—the race against time or “time management.” Whether you are an attorney, a fitness professional or a business coach, time is the like the elusive lover—you can never get enough! Here are a few comments I heard over the last few days:

— “I’m never able to get it all done.”
— “I can’t figure out which “to-do” should be done first.”
— “It only takes 10 minutes.”

Smart Women Share Their Pearls….

December 31, 2009 | By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

One of the birthday “traditions” in our family is when a member gets to a certain age, they share one “pearl of wisdom” for each decade they have lived.

Today is my 50th birthday! The five decades behind me were all wonderful and as I reflect on each one of them, I can clearly see how each decade blended into the next to bring me to where I am today. I’m very excited about the next 50 years with lots of ideas and plans for living a meaningful and full life. In keeping with my family “tradition,” I’m going to share with you my five “pearls of wisdom” that have been instrumental in my life so far. This is not an easy exercise! Choosing five was a real challenge. We all have beliefs that we carry inside of us. They come from our families, mentors, and life experiences that we have along the way. However, I’m clear now that the five “pearls of wisdom” that you read below are the ones that have shaped my life in the most profound way:
