It's been a busy season here at Joy Lough Enterprises, and honestly? I couldn't be more excited about what's happening....
Lately, I’ve been leaning even deeper into my passion for supporting nonprofits and helping entrepreneurs build strong business foundations that actually last. I keep seeing the same theme: when your foundation is solid, your mission (and your money) can grow without the constant chaos.
But here’s the thing.... planning without purpose is just paperwork. And purpose without a plan? That’s just a dream.
So let me walk you through a few quick updates and new ways we can work together right now.
I see this all the time. Entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders come to me with beautiful vision boards, detailed business plans, and ambitious goals. But somewhere between the planning phase and actual execution, things fall apart.
Why?
Because they're missing the bridge. The systems. The strategic support. The accountability.
That's where Joy Lough Enterprises comes in.
If you're ready to get your business foundations right once and for all, this is for you.
I designed the Start With Success Crash Course (and the accompanying book) to move you from idea to execution with total clarity. No fluff. No theory overload. Just actionable steps you can implement immediately.
This course covers:
I've taken over 20 years of business and HR experience and distilled it into a framework that actually works. Whether you're launching your first business or pivoting an existing one, this crash course will save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.

Remember our 2026 Vision Board Party? That energy was incredible. And I'm not letting that momentum die.
I'm expanding on everything we started at the Vision Board Party and turning it into a brand-new Ebook and virtual masterclass called Planning with Purpose.
This isn't your typical "set goals and hope for the best" program. We're going deeper.
You'll learn:
The masterclass is interactive, practical, and designed for real people with real businesses (not just corporate executives with unlimited resources).

Here's something new: We are officially open for high-level nonprofit strategy and HR management consulting.
If your team is growing and you need a pro in your corner, I'm here.
My consulting work focuses on:
I've worked with startups, small businesses, and mission-driven organizations for over two decades. I know what works and what doesn't. And I'm really good at helping you avoid the expensive mistakes most organizations make.
February is Black History Month, and I’m excited to celebrate all month long.... I’ll be sharing special features, stories, and highlights that I’ve found meaningful (and honestly, a few that I’m still learning from too).
If you want to follow along, connect with me here:
And if a post resonates with you, I’d love for you to share it or drop a quick comment.... tell me what stood out.
Let's be real.... the business landscape has changed dramatically. AI is everywhere. Remote work is normalized. The economy is unpredictable. And people are craving more than just a paycheck: they want purpose.
That's true whether you're running a nonprofit or a for-profit business.
Your customers, your donors, your employees: they all want to know why you do what you do. And honestly? You need to know that too.
That's why I wrote 7 Steps to Success (it's a #1 bestseller, by the way). It's not just about business tactics. It's about building something that matters. Something sustainable. Something that aligns with who you are and what you value.
I know you're busy. I know your to-do list is overwhelming. So I've simplified my schedule to make it easier for us to connect.

I'll review your details and send over a Zoom link once we're confirmed. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
I don't like to brag, but I do like to share what's working for the entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders I'm supporting right now.
One recent client told me: "Joy helped me see the difference between being busy and being strategic. I've cut my workweek in half and doubled my revenue."
Another nonprofit executive said: "We were drowning in HR issues. Joy came in, set up systems, and trained our team. Now we actually have time to focus on our mission."
That's the kind of transformation I'm talking about. Not theory. Real results.
Planning is important. But planning without purpose is just a pretty document collecting dust.
If you're ready to bridge that gap: if you're ready to move from stuck to strategic, from overwhelmed to organized, from dreaming to doing: I'd love to help you get there.
Whether you need the structured support of the Start With Success Crash Course, the accountability and vision of Planning with Purpose, or the high-level expertise of 1:1 consulting, Joy Lough Enterprises has what you need.
Let's turn your plan into purpose. Let's turn your purpose into profit. And let's do it together.
