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 successful 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 #7:  It’s All Good

“Let’s face it - you probably aren’t always going to be in a joyful disposition. You can, however, be an observer and a learner. You can be sad, angry, frustrated or depressed and still find the good in those places (eventually) and be present to whatever is happening. With practice, you will start choosing to shift to a more life-giving joy perspective on life. You have the tools to do this.”

A client the other day shared that she had received an email from a reader of her newsletter. The reader abruptly shared in her email that she didn’t get what my client does. My client was upset and was trying hard not to take it personally.  I reminded her that she was, in fact, going through a major transition in her business and that she was working on her own clarity.  Actually she had set an intention to be clear by a certain date. So that dear reader was just reflecting back my client’s own uncertainty and reinforcing that she in fact was right to be spending this time to get clearer about her business vision.

Everything you attract in your life and business is a mirror of your own thoughts and beliefs.  Just take a look!  With that perspective you tend to get a sense of humor and curiousity and yes then it is all good.
