I remember the day I said this to someone and the person asked me a lot of questions. I almost ran out of breath. With sayings like this, it’s easy to go sentimental until you find yourself in that position. The writer used the example of money but it isn’t just money. ⠀ ⠀ It may be a listening ear. Support. Showing up for you. ⠀ ⠀ I saw a movie where a guy needed help and he called his friends and guess what, they took it as a joke. Infact, they didn’t act on it until later. ⠀ ⠀ Your circle can make or mar you. One circle I see on screen that trips me is the “The Men’s Club”. Whether we can have that for women is a gist for another day but you get “warramean”. Your circle is not a sentimental decision. ⠀ ⠀ You may have outgrown your circle or maybe you are still hanging out with your childhood friends who saw you as unserious and that aura still follows you till date. Please work on it so that it won’t end in premium tears one day. ⠀ ⠀ Cheers to a life changing circle! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #businessgrowth #buildyourempire #businessowner #shemeansbusiness #business #entrepreneur #mediagirl #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneur #marketing #personalbrand #womeninbusiness #digitalmarketing #joyeneghalu #personalbranding #digitalmedia #ipreview via @preview.app

You are enough! You are the ONLY one who will deliver the way you would. If that’s not your uniqueness and super power, I don’t know what is. ⠀ ⠀ Don’t sink in.

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a friend about women in business and the challenges they face building a business. ⠀ ⠀ We talked about how some of them have to navigate the wolves who want to have a piece of them before giving them a chance. ⠀ ⠀ As we discussed, I realised the tremendous growth I have enjoyed and how far I have come. ⠀ ⠀ This may not be in all industries but I know that women in majority of the industries will have their own story to tell. ⠀ ⠀ I can’t even promise it won’t happen but I can tell you for free that the decision lies with you to be firm about what you want and how you want to go about making your wealth. Long term or short term? ⠀ ⠀ Also, wisdom is very important to have. Some of the wolves can be tamed and they get to do your bidding without having a piece of you. Learn how and then learn how to navigate. ⠀ ⠀ I am really proud of every woman out there doing amazingly well in their field, owning their space and keeping it real. If no one has told you, I’m telling you now - You are an inspiration. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #businessgrowth #buildyourempire #businessowner #shemeansbusiness #business #entrepreneur #mediagirl #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneur #marketing #personalbrand #womeninbusiness #digitalmarketing #joyeneghalu #personalbranding #digitalmedia #ipreview via @preview.app

This is the face of fulfillment! ⠀ ⠀ We closed the doors to the 3rd cohort of the SFSI program today. ⠀ ⠀ It will also be the last cohort for the year. We had over 180 sign ups. This cohort will be learning website design and social media management. It’s the first time we will be running multiple courses. ⠀ ⠀ I already look forward to meeting them. ⠀ ⠀ Also, We currently have 45 people in the SFSI Alumni Network and more than just studying, we are also working on providing resources they will need to set up their businesses professionally. ⠀ ⠀ We are also looking to provide them jobs. So, if you are looking for an affordable website designer or social media manager, reach out to me and we’ll be glad to hook you up. ⠀ ⠀ Remember, over 300 people went through the SFSI program and only 45 made it to the Alumni Network. That tells you it’s no child’s play. ⠀ ⠀ We can assure you that they will deliver. Send me a message if you need a website designer or social media manager. They are affordable and know the job! Feel free to send me a DM! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #businessgrowth #buildyourempire #businessowner #shemeansbusiness #business #entrepreneur #mediagirl #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneur #marketing #personalbrand #womeninbusiness #digitalmarketing #joyeneghalu #personalbranding #digitalmedia #ipreview via @preview.app

To create balance, for your next level, connect with people are above you. ⠀ ⠀ For accountability, connect with your peers. ⠀ ⠀ For impact, connect with those seeking to get to the level where you currently are. You get to teach them and by doing so, you improve your knowledge. ⠀ ⠀ You should have three kinds of people in your life. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #businessgrowth #buildyourempire #businessowner #shemeansbusiness #business #entrepreneur #mediagirl #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneur #marketing #personalbrand #womeninbusiness #digitalmarketing #joyeneghalu #personalbranding #digitalmedia #ipreview via @preview.app

One of the moments I think about is my life as a mother. I’ve seen a lot of women juggle work and motherhood and in as much as they smile doing it, it sure looks stressful. ⠀ ⠀ I remember someone telling me “Joy, you’ll love it. You’ll see.” ⠀ ⠀ Yesterday, my baby cousin made me sleep for 4 hours because she wouldn’t sleep anywhere else but my body. Fam, I got tired. I had to wake her up ???‍♀️. ⠀ ⠀ I tried to lay her on her bed but she started crying. This time, I was staring at this little creature who felt she had the right ? . ⠀ ⠀ But this got me really thinking. “Joy, what if this was a real situation? Joy, are you really ready? Joy, can you deal?” ⠀ ⠀ I’ve figured that being married and having children are different ball games (married folks, correct me if I’m wrong). ⠀ ⠀ “Joy, you’ll enjoy it. You’ll see” ⠀ ⠀ Okay then. I’ll wait and see. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #businessgrowth #buildyourempire #motherhood #mums #newbornbaby #newmum #singleladies #marriage #businessowner #shemeansbusiness #business #entrepreneur #mediagirl #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneur #marketing #personalbrand #womeninbusiness #digitalmarketing #joyeneghalu #personalbranding #digitalmedia #ipreview via @preview.app

If you are into business, I recommend you read “Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter” by Curtis Jackson popularly known as 50cent. @50cent ⠀ ⠀ I’ve been blown away by the nuggets he shared by telling his story. The book touches on trust, environment, equity, negotiation, internship, deals, opportunities , concept of evolving, staying relevant and I am not even done yet! ⠀ ⠀ Get the ebook or hard cover. For my kind of reader, it’s available on Audible (audio book). ⠀ ⠀ I’m particularly impressed excited about the book because he didn’t go the self help route. He talked about real challenges that we go through as entrepreneurs and how he navigated his own. ⠀ ⠀ I haven’t seen the series “Power” but he talked about it in the book. I’m definitely going to have to watch it. I want to see the expression of his mind in his other works. ⠀ ⠀ Check my story for the image of the front cover. Go get it! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #businessgrowth #buildyourempire #businessowner #shemeansbusiness #business #entrepreneur #mediagirl #womenwhohustle #femaleentrepreneur #marketing #personalbrand #womeninbusiness #digitalmarketing #joyeneghalu #personalbranding #digitalmedia #ipreview via @preview.app
