Joy’s ingenuity brought her success because love gave her the courage to try!

See failure as a blessing “Each ‘failure’ fills up our baskets with knowledge and resources that make us stronger,” Joy says. “When I was told ‘no,’ I’d reframe the word to mean ‘rethink’ the problem!”

Celebrate small successes “No matter how small the win, mark the moment and say, ‘ I did it!’ ” Joy smiles. In fact, people who celebrate small successes are 60% more likely to achieve their goals.

Never give up “When the odds feel impossible, just keep plowing through,” Joy says. “My motto is to keep moving and it will take you somewhere…because if you stop, it will take you nowhere.”
