“Joy is a baseline of you deciding how you're going to live,'' says Shannon Hernandez, Business Growth Strategist. After a long career of teaching, Shannon realized that her life contained little to no joy. Desperate for a change, Shannon quit her teaching job to pursue her passion. Today, Shannon is the Founder of Joyful Business Revolution where she is committed to teaching women how to find joy in both their personal and professional lives.    According to Shannon, most people mistakenly believe that happiness and joy are the same things. While both are associated with positive experiences, happiness is an emotion whereas joy is how you choose to structure your life. To begin finding joy, Shannon explains that we must use our values to drive our decisions. When we are making choices that coincide with our beliefs, we will be more joyous and successful in everything we do.    Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch to learn the importance of determining your values, implementing daily practices of joy, and building a business that gives back so you can find joy in every aspect of your life.    Quotes • “The vision we have at Joyful Business Revolution is to help women understand how to be profitable from the very beginning with the intention of being able to be a humanitarian.” (04:35-04:45) • “Happiness is determined by an emotion that is caused by an external event or a person or a thought, whereas joy is a baseline of you deciding how you're going to live.” (12:32-12:44)  • “How you get to your joy is by looking at your lifestyle values and what you value right now.” (15:52-15:57) • “Once we know your lifestyle values, we can start filtering every single decision through those values.” (18:42-18:48) • “If people don't know what you appreciate about them or what they do that brings you joy, we don't give them the opportunity to be joy givers in our lives.” (25:12-25:27) • “Early on I realized if my mind is right and I'm serving people, I'm going to make money.” (29:24-29:30) • “If you're paying yourself, you're paying your team and you're profitable, then you should set your prices with the intention that you're going to give from the beginning so you can give seamlessly as your business grows.” (37:54-38:07)   Links Connect with Shannon Hernandez:   Website: www.joyfulbusinessrevolution.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mshannonhernandez Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MShannonHernandezContentStrategist’ The Joyful Business Revolution FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1545554722411966   Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook    Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
