Joy the Key to Entrepreneurial Happiness, A Millennials' Guide to Starting, Continuing and Reinventing Your Business

JOY, the KEY to Entrepreneurial Happiness: A Millennials' Guide to Starting, Continuing and Reinventing Your Business is about figuring out your purpose, working your plan and planning your path to entrepreneurship regardless of life's pitfalls. This book transparently reveals Joy's personal journey and is especially targeted to millennial women of all backgrounds. Joy wants them all to leave the pages of this self-help/inspirational offering, chanting, believing in, and breathing the empowering ideal that simply declares, you can do it! It doesn't matter where a person stands at the starting gate — be it novice, mature, formally educated or experienced in street smarts, single, single parent, married, divorced, widowed; conventional or unconventional — opportunity can be carved out of one's passion to operate and to prosper in it.
JOY the KEY is a snappy read, encouraged as a handy pocket-sized guidebook of knowledge. It's designed to be an inspiration-at-the-ready whenever one needs it. This is a quick, informative weekend read, straight to the point with no filler, but chock-full of proof, inspiration, and empowerment to succeed. Through Joy's pain and payoffs, readers can see how she navigated through the pressures of life, and ultimately became a diamond of joy and perseverance. The book is written in conversational, and sometimes, comedic tones, letting readers know that the pitfalls one might experience, once she or he has grown the courage to step out on faith, are not isolated instances, but conduits to success. Dear Reader, "you are not alone," it conveys. For example, when Joy discovered that spouses, relatives, close friends, and confidants don't always support and/or understand the vision, in fact, they may even sabotage it. That oftentimes, it happens all in the name of protecting you or wanting you to live your life as they define it. Using Joy's personal experiences, the book further informs how not to allow such pitfalls to deliver the knockout punch to entrepreneurship.
Nothing great comes without pressure, experience and time. Entrepreneurship is not as easy as it is portrayed on social media, and readers need to replace their rose-colored, social-media glasses for a lesson in stick-to-itiveness. JOY the KEY is unique and layered with telling nuances that readers can use, but may not be able to pre-identify because its perspective is birthed from Joy — a 33-year-old African-American woman, who has been an entrepreneur since the age of 21 years old. However, entrepreneurship is not all Joy has known. She has had traditional jobs as well, and at the time of those experiences, I owned the not— so— traditional expenses and responsibilities of a 21-year-old; i.e., a husband, a child, a mortgage, car note, and more. My carefree years were short-lived. So JOY the KEY book gives a perspective from a real-world working adult. This book is about identifying and putting to work the faith that you need to build within yourself. It's about setting in motion a higher power along with the "Keys" to create one's roadmap and vehicle needed to power-up one's dream and to push the pedal down on the drive.

About the Author

Joy A. Johnson is a multi-licensed beauty professional, adjunct professor, international beauty educator, and the proprietor of Nails & Faces of Joy Spa. She has been in the beauty business for over 10 years. She has wanted to be an entrepreneur since she was 16 years old, but it took her two more years to zero in on the specifics. At the tender age of 18, Johnson was bitten by the beauty business bug. Upon entering college, Johnson needed a little extra cash to carry her through, so she decided to sell Mary Kay. During the years that followed, various setbacks might have caused her to look sideways, but after having discovered her passion, she never looked back. As her love for the industry grew, what she hadn’t realized was the fact that her love for the beauty industry had been in her all along. It was in her blood. Her mother, who passed when Johnson was only 16, was a New York and Los Angeles model in her younger years. Her mother was also an American Airlines flight attendant; she had to look and move catwalk-ready, 24/7. It was in her blood. So Johnson, gazing and little-girl sampling her mother’s lotions and potions in their shared bathroom as well as admiring her mother’s perfect looks – well, the seed had been planted, deeply, within her. Fast forward to now, and Johnson is a 33-year-old serial entrepreneur, mother, soulmate, public speaker and now as an author, she’s putting what she’s experienced and learned into print. Johnson has been featured on ABC, FOX, CBS news and Donnie Simpson & Tony Perkins Show on Majic 102.3 for her philanthropic efforts to offer free monthly services to current cancer fighters. She has also been a Key Manicurist for New York Fashion World (NYFW) shows for designers Tadashi Shoji and Taoray Wang; she’s also worked on teams for designers Jill Stuart, Zang Toi, Altuzarra and many others. Johnson has had editorial features in Real Simple Magazine, Ebony, Good Housekeeping and more. Public speaking is not a new art form for Johnson who has spoken, domestically and internationally, engaging and informing small and large crowds as she has lectured to beauty professionals for the last eight years. Hundreds of beauty professionals gather to listen to and glean from her educational seminars. Ongoing, she teaches and manages conferences for clients such as Sally’s Beauty Group and Salon Centric as well as for a variety of manufacturers such as Ardell Lashes, Gigi Wax, China Glaze Nail Polish and many others. Her consulting and teaching have taken her to Europe and throughout the United States. Johnson’s intuition and examples of tenacity will unveil the keys to open-door perspectives and push-through attitudes. Her goal with the newly-minted title is to empower, encourage and inspire women and girls especially, to get up and do what it is they feel led to do — the men, too. She wants to water those seeds, and reveal every reader’s golden key in life
