Badassery can mean different things to different people. For me, it conveys bold confidence & a commitment to living my life as I see fit. Other women may be badass more quietly, yet still operating from confidence. 
​
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to unleashing your own Badassery.

However, it is amplified when you live and work from your JOYFull Zone of Genius. 

I know... I’m throwing a lot of new terms out there, but it’s harder to be a badass if you don’t know what brings you joy at work and at home. 

If you are constantly operating outside of your core values, then you probably feel trapped on a never-ending hamster wheel. Joy is difficult to find when you are living on that wheel. 

I know.  I was there. Struggling to figure out why my business wasn’t as successful as I hoped. Wondering if becoming an entrepreneur was a mistake. Applying for jobs I didn’t want. Buying courses & quick fixes that didn’t really fix anything. Sound familiar? 

Flash to June 2019. While on a CEO retreat, I was invited to try an incredible, hands-on, clearly defined process - The Joy|Money Matrix. The tools, guidance, and support from my facilitator helped me bring together my core values, visions & dreams, along with tasks & actions that bring me joy. By gaining more clarity & insight, I discovered what elements of my personal and professional life I wanted to manage and what aspects I wanted to dump, delegate or redesign. 

From there, I created a job description & hired a VA.  I got several new clients and felt lighter and freer than I ever had. I became an International, award-winning speaker. I traveled to Boston, New York, London & Paris...all bucket-list destinations. I also became a JMM facilitator myself, joining an incredible group of women focused on joy, productivity, and living life on their terms. 

Choosing JOY and allowing the money to follow are truly new ideas in our ever-busy world. We are told that we must hustle and grind and make sacrifices to be successful. 

I call BS on that concept. I don’t want to feel like a hostage in my own life.  After all, I’m the JOYFull BadAss and my goal in life is to help other women business owners become the confident, JOYFull badass they were born to be. 

Here are a few tips to get you started. 

​

1. Connect with your intuition.  Science tells us our brain & gut are connected via neural pathways. It also says that intuition is the 6th sense. Use that ability to make aligned decisions. When your gut is telling you something, listen. 
2. Align with your core values. These are the principles and beliefs that guide your behavior, actions, and decisions. Consider what you ALWAYS have time & money for. These areas could reflect your values and are a good place to start thinking about what’s important to you.
3. Reveal energy for tasks & To-Do lists. Where and how you invest your most valuable resources will help you see if there are gaps. Are you participating in groups, activities, or events that don’t serve you or bring you joy? Are your tasks & to-dos overwhelming, hard to handle, and sucking the joy from your life? How do you know? Make a quick list of the top 10 things you need to do this week and rate each one 1-10 based on how much joy it brings. 10’s are keepers but 1’s gotta go. 
4. Take Empowered Action. If you find yourself out of alignment, on a hamster wheel, or just frankly, tired, bored, overwhelmed, frustrated, and ready to hop the first bus outta Dodge even if no one is wearing a mask, DO something. Journal, call a friend, let go of one toxic relationship or activity.  Make time to find a solution that will actually work, such as enrolling in courses from The JOYFull BadAss Academy. 
5. Develop a system and stick to it. Strategies, plans & lists don’t get done if you don’t have a process for managing your time, evaluating joy, and getting help & support. 

Good thing I founded the JOYFull BadAss Academy.  It’s the solution you are looking for.

The JFBA offers both personal and professional development for female business owners in any field or industry that want to get off that damn hamster wheel once & for all and commit to growing, learning, and making money. 

Our courses are offered via SMS or WhatsApp, meaning you will receive a short text each day the course runs...easy, convenient & on your schedule! No long-ass Zoom meetings either! 
Upon course completion, you can attend virtual  Learning Labs or MasterHive sessions with me, The JOYFull BadAss, so that you get questions answered, feedback and suggestions. Although on Zoom, we keep it short, have fun, and take lots of breaks! 

Our signature program, The Joy|Money Micro launches on April 1, with the Spring Cohort beginning on April 21. All lessons delivered straight to your phone and can be completed within 10-15 minutes. 

​For more information, add your name to our waiting list and in the meantime, watch this NanoNar to learn how the JMM can help you get your shift together once and for all. 

I love Black History Month and I always have. In my world, it lasts 365 days per year. But as this is the 411, I’ll keep it short & focused on BHM resources.
