As the author of, Joyful Business Guide system, I have outlined 17 Guiding Principles of a Joyful Business.  These are guidelines, reminders, and validations for creating a success business based on using your joy energy. Why?  Because the world needs a new modern business model - the old one is broken! Use joy as a guide for what you create, for what you give, and for what you receive - being intentional about it all.

Each week I would like to share one of the Guiding Principles.  I would love to hear your thoughts, comments and own personal experience of each principle. 

Guiding Principe #1:

Purposely Cultivating Joy

"Joy is another way of saying...your well-being, happiness and peace. In purposely cultivating your well-being even in your business, you are committed to having a business which is authentic, real and vibrantly healthy.

Look at joy as both a barometer and a destination. It is a by-product of your success and it is a context in which you create success. it's not aobut putting a smiley face on everything and calling it a day.  It's about finding the good in everything including the delight, the sadness, the down parts and the wild ride up!  Bless where you are right now as the perfect place.

Joy is also a practice. It takes conscious practice each day and even in each moment. What you focus your energy on,mentally, emotionally and physically (ie: your thoughts, emotions and actions) is what you are in alignment with and will attract more of."
