Have you been hearing these two words in your ears - IDEAL CLIENT - ideal client? Well these words directly related to your business life, Wellness, and approach to something as simple as answering the phone or replying to an e-mail. Save yourself a headache by taking the time to visualize and identify what a fulfilling business life looks like for you, and who the ideal client for your service or product are. Think about the environment you’re in when you serve best. What would you love your clients or customers to say about the service or product they received through your business? With that in mind, how can you tweak your approach to doing business in a way that aligns with the people you enjoy interacting with? The sale of a product or booking of a service shouldn’t cost you a challenge with your health. Not every interaction is sweet and seamless but it IS possible (and enjoyable) to work alongside many clients with various personalities in a harmonious and productive way. I compiled a Business Clarity Map as a reference for creative entrepreneurs who are struggling with finding and connect with their ideal clients and being appreciated for their time and compensated for their skill and dedication. It’s in 2 formats as a FREE webinar or paid coaching service. In this podcast episode I share a snippet so feel free to take notes and get started identifying your ideal client, remembering not to limit your aspiration, gift or business. Enjoy what you hear?

When last do you remember taking a deep breath; this isn’t a contest...it’s an invitation to take one now. Breath is something we tend to take for granted. Deep breaths from the diaphragm bring clarity to the mind and create an automatic environment for gratitude to grow. Join me for a moment of refreshment in this mini-episode, and thanks for sharing precious time here today. I appreciate it - and you. Deep breath and light thoughts in one...two...threeeeeee

Hi and welcome to 'Joy withIn,' Today's episode is all about “SPARKLE” Brunch & Workshop - a refreshing gathering in Barbados, for enterprising like-minded women to gather and grow in business, with wellness in mind.

It’s a cosy event where networking is organic, and the approach, holistic – after all, we’re so much more than our businesses. At “Sparkle,” guests are invited to share their wins as well as challenges, and they're equipped with productivity resources, marketing solutions and business upgrade ideas through presentations.

Wellness is often left out of the conversation where women and business are concerned, and I was concerned about that. Research, observation and experience have shown that stress is a real factor – not for us to fear, but to be aware of. It affects quality of life, clarity in thinking, our approach to interacting with others, our health and ‘joie de vivre.’

Joy and wellness are essential for a refreshed sense of purpose, longevity in business, cheerfulness in service, and gratitude as a way of life.

This November, the topic for our second session was "Work, Wellness & Social Media" - woo-wee that was a necessary subject to highlight.

Special thanks to Director of Design, Michelle who created a beautifully welcoming space; her decorations were a hot topic at the session.

Celebrating one of our guests who shared some kind words.

“…thank you for a beautifully run workshop yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed the comradeship and exchange.The information shared will definitely help me to keep ‘shining’ and continue to assist others even more effectively.” ~ Kristy

Be sure to visit her on Instagram @uniquelyyoufitness

Remember - you too, are designed to shine! Want us to save you a seat at the next workshop? Send me a message @itsjoywithin

Ladies, i'm glad you're here. Set down that mug or glass 'cause this new podcast episode is gonna compel you to jump outta your seat and run onto the tarmac of your life with open arms and a fresh perspective. 

Kim Haynes means business, and shares a bit of her journey as a culinary entrepreneur and co-owner of 'No Meat Meals 246.' (Grab a napkin so you don't drool onto your laptop or phone; food pics - compliments our guest, are included.) If you're in need of some sisterly encouragement and some solid faith-filled calls-to-action right now, well this is gonna be a necessary nudge shared with some sisterly love through Kim - for you.

Enjoy today's podcast episode. Here are some encouragement quotes shares by our newest guest in the "Celebrate A Sister" series.

"We provide vegetarian - vegan food to anyone who wants good, nutritious, fresh, balanced meals."

"Cooking is a gift that has been given to me by God - it's a talent that I use to just look at raw materials and create something glorious."

This business evolved from an act of kindness.

My husband has a policy that no amount of food is too small to share. 

There was a lack of variety in the community where we live, in terms of vegetarian meals. Instead of wasting a talent, or sitting down on a talent - No Meat Meals 246 was launched | @no_meat_meals246 on Instagram

"It is a pleasure and delight to share my story with other ladies and with the world. I would like to advise every women out there...your destiny is in your hands - look in your hands and see what God has blessed you with.

Do not leave this earth until you have fulfilled your destiny - until you have fulfilled your God-given purpose. Whatever you do, the joy within you will permeate, and you will be a blessing to others" - Kim Haynes

This podcast will also available on 'Joy within' blog as a feature in the "Celebrate A Sister" series, and you'll see food photos from No Meat Meals 246, on Sunday November 25th, 9am EST

Remember to join them on Facebook and Instagram, and when in Barbados, be sure to enjoy their healthy and delicious vegan & vegetarian food.

Entrepreneurship is a muscle-building experience.

It isn’t for everyone, and that’s totally cool. Though we all have gifts, some are best or happiest expressed as hobbies, small circle activities, seasonal activities or deeds of service. Running and growing an enterprise while serving your audience consistently well, is a responsibility…businesses don’t just run on air n’ coffee or thrive solely based on how much love you put into it.

i was recently invited (kindly by my local P.R.O) to attend a seminar at the Grand Salle, in Bridgetown, for a ‘Global Entrepreneurship Week.’ The 4-panelist presentation by business pros, was designed to reach a large group of teens from various secondary schools around the island, and educate them on the journey of entrepreneurship. It was interesting – and refreshing to sit in the front row, to learn more through innovative pioneers who spoke on:

steps to building a business

entrepreneurial endurance

teamwork

identity

marketing strategy (and a special highlight of the day) –

effective communication and connection with your ideal audience.

A particularly hot topic was the popular debate: TO SOURCE FUNDING FIRST OR START WHERE YOU ARE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE...
