As women, we are programmed to deny ourselves joy. We have a hard time allowing ourselves to experience and seek out joy because we have been told so many times we don’t deserve it. It can feel self-indulgent, and unnecessary.

I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling a bit ambivalent about joy as a concept. I didn’t know if I believed in joy, I wasn’t looking for it or striving to create it. And I found it triggering when other people talked about it.

Now I’ve started to realise that while I have been able to see my money scarcity over the years, what I didn’t see or appreciate until recently was my joy scarcity. And I wonder if that applies to you too. Do you believe in joy?

I’m asking because I am noticing that the truly successful women I encounter are those who believe in joy and experience it often. Most importantly, they gear their life around cultivating joyfulness instead of around duty, obligation and responsibility.

Whereas, what I see all the time when women say to me, ‘I’m not getting the results I want to in my business, I’m attracting the wrong clients, I’m not getting paid what I should be, I’m getting negative feedback about the things I want to create and build’, it there is nearly always a crippling fear behind the scenes in their business. And there is nearly always a total absence of joy, or an absence of the expectation of joy.

On the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast this week I am talking about overcoming our ambivalence to joy.

I talk about:

• Comparisonitis and how it affects our perception of ourselves
• Noticing moments of joy in your life
• How I’ve changed the way I launch offers
• What happens when you build your business around flow
• How being intentional about joy creates a positive ripple effect in your business and life

?? Head here to listen to the episode in full Episode 123: Overcoming Our Ambivalence Around Joy.

And please share a joyful memory with me in the comments.

Free Report - The Six Elements of a Seven Figure Consulting Business

I've created a free PDF report called The Six Elements of a Seven Figure Business.?It’s my most popular free resource and in it I outline the 6 areas of unscaled businesses that need to change in order to move past being ‘booked up and burned out’ and shifting into that higher gear that gets you cruising again.

It’s the framework that helps consultant women like you find their feet and get back to leading the business, rather than being buried in client work and back-end business operations.

Sign up here for your PDF report, and I'll show you the six elements your consultancy needs to make the shift from a nice little 6-figure lifestyle business to a serious 7-figure enterprise.
