Joy Is Not a Reward for Success — It's a Tool That Drives Sustainable Success 

In this episode, I’m talking to the version of you who’s not completely burned out…but you’re definitely not lit up either. You’re just fine. You’re checking off the to-dos without that sense of momentum, joy, or excitement that once fueled your business.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone — and the good news is I have a plan to help you get you your spark back.

This episode is a permission slip to pause, audit, and realign your work with what truly lights you up. I’m sharing the exact steps I’ve taken (and still take!) to get back in touch with my founder energy, rekindle creativity, and reconnect with the why behind what I do. 

Because staying in that “meh” middle is where dreams quietly go to die, and I’m not about to let that happen to yours.Remember, DM me @amyporterfield and let me know one thing that brings you joy. Bonus points if it’s a creative project that I can share with the whole community! 

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Joy Is a Business Strategy – Infusing more joy into your day-to-day work is the best way to stay creative, energized, and resilient enough to lead and grow sustainably.

2️⃣ Let Vision Lead and Tell Pressure to Take a Back Seat – When you chase goals out of pressure instead of passion, you create desperate energy that leads to burnout and poor decisions. Reconnecting to your vision changes everything.

3️⃣ Audit What’s Draining You And Do More of What Lights You Up – Make space for the tasks, people, and projects that bring you alive. Delegate the soul-sucking stuff. Your energy and success depend on it.
