Announcement: Joyful Business Guide Pre-Launch!

GigglegoalsYou've been reading about it on this blog and now here it is....in the Pre-Launch Phase: The Joyful Business Guide

If you want to use Law of Attraction, the power of joy in creating a business plan that will be a guide to designing the business of your dreams, then you'll want to go right to the page which describes this brand new system - click here.

The Joyful Business Guide system is a compliation of all the studies, research and in -the- trenches experience, I have done over the years on creativity, success, law of attraction, law of allowing, and business planning.  Many people are talking about using the law of attraction - this system actually pulls it all together and gives you physical (and beautiful) tools to use each and every day in creating fulfilling and authentic success.

While I am putting the final touches on this program over the month of April, you have an opportunityCoverjbg  to purchase your own Joyful Business Guide at a special introductory price along with a few special bonuses. Talk about getting ME motivated!  The orders have already been coming in and so have emails from joyful business owners who are really excited about this system - just the incentive I need to get through the final month of incubation and you get to benefit with all the special incentives! 

If you want to finally have a business plan you love - one which is inspiring - one that you can use each and every day - and one that helps you work with your own positive thoughts, emotions and inspired actions then you'll want to be the first to get your own system - Click here for more information and all the juicy details!

Here's to your Joyful Success!

Do good with your phone tax rebate!

A note especially for my U.S. Joyful Business Owner friends who are working on your taxes this time of year:

One of my clients, Mary Gorham, is a very wonderful coach for social entrepreneurs,  Moneyfallingfromsky_1 and it's no accident that she is married to a social entrepreneur herself! Her husband, Jon Gorham (and his partners) have just launched an amazing website called www.RefundsforGood.org that you should check out as soon as you can before you turn in your taxes. It turns out we are all entitled to a refund on a phone tax we have been paying. This website tells you how you can claim it (and gives you some interesting history as to why we had this tax to begin with - apparently it has funded our war efforts for decades. Hmmm, I had no idea.

This website, and his passionate project, also shows you how you can donate this new "found" money to a couple extraordinary nonprofits that are working on peace and sustainable development efforts. The net effect: we can all do something really worthwhile without it breaking our budgets. So check out the website and see what you think. As you do, you'll also have fun seeing some very familiar faces (like Martin Sheen and Ed Begley, Jr.) who are endorsing their work.

I know I look for opportunities to donate and have gotten a bit skeptical about non-profits. I like how this helps me find some places to put my charitable donations and feel confident about the good work they are doing in the world.

Tell all your friends about it too.

This is truly "joyful business" at work and a great example of creating a win-win situation for everyone!

Gratefully - Almost done with my tax process - yippee!

Microsoft Small Business Summit - it's free & virtual!

Just wanted to post a quick share:

Microsoft Small Business Center is sponsoring a Small Business Summit.  Coming up on March 19 - 23. It's free and it's virtual.  They'll have Guy Kawasaki, author and venture capitalist, Julie Clark, founder of Baby Einstein (before she sold to Disney!), the Sloan brothers, Rich and Jeff, Creators of StartupNation.com and Hosts of StartupNation Radio and lots of experts on a variety of small business topics.

I would attend except for I'm going to be exploring Switzerland! My hubby has a project there and I am going to visit for a week and explore while he's working. I'm going to Basel which is a city right on the border of Switzerland, France and Germany. I'll give new meaning to 3 countries in 3 days!  I'm so excited!

Let me know if you have been - I've love to hear which sites to see!

Enjoy the summit!
