Chase joy and success will chase you.Did you start your business, like many entrepreneurs, for more joy and freedom, only to find that joy has fallen off your radar and freedom feels more elusive than ever?
Are you successful on the outside, but secretly feel dissatisfied, on the edge of burn out, or downright miserable?
Have you lost touch with your passions, desires, or sense of purpose?
Do you get caught up and overwhelmed by how much you
could and
should be doing to create the success and impact you crave?
Have you followed formulas, blueprints, and gurus who promise that their “proven” strategies and tactics are the “right way” to run a business, only to find that they don’t work for you?
If any of these questions ring true, but you’re worried that prioritizing joy would put your current success at risk, you’re not alone.
As Dr. Erin Baker points out in Joy-Full AF, entrepreneurs and society at large have come to believe all kinds of lies about what joy is and what role it can play in success.
Before starting their coaching business, “joy” wasn’t in Baker’s vocabulary. As a psychology PhD-turned-research leader at Facebook and Microsoft, they had learned numerous lessons about sound business practices, leadership, and what it
really takes to create success…but none of them included joy in the equation. At best, it was a bonus to be successful AND feel joy in the process.
But when they looked back years later on what had
created their business success, they realized that chasing joy had been their #1 business strategy. They just hadn’t called it joy.
The same is true for you: Joy can be your #1 business strategy. In fact, it’s the key to long-term sustainable success.
Joy-Full AF is “….a friendly, down-to-earth, and deeply wise guide of a book that walks you every step of the way” ~ Simone Seol, author of
