SHE MEANS BUSINESS: Women Entrepreneurs Share Lessons That Elevate Vision Into Results
SHE MEANS BUSINESS brings together ten accomplished women entrepreneurs who have built businesses, navigated challenges, made difficult decisions, and learned lessons that could only come through experience.
Drawing from diverse industries, backgrounds, and entrepreneurial journeys, we share more than stories of success. We reveal the lessons behind the results, from recognizing our worth and building the right foundation to protecting our capacity, navigating change, strengthening our leadership, and developing resilience to keep moving forward.
Whether you are preparing to start a business or ready to elevate to your next level, SHE MEANS BUSINESS offers practical insight to help you lead more intentionally and move your vision forward.
SHE MEANS BUSINESS: The Resilience Builder
Companion Resource
SHE MEANS BUSINESS includes a Companion Resource Guide for Joy's chapter called "Resilience Isn't Random". Her Resilience Builder guide is a practical resource for turning problems, setbacks, and challenges into strength for what comes next.
The Resilience Builder Companion Guide is designed to be a quick and practical resource when you have time to read the entire book.
SHE MEANS BUSINESS: The 5-Minute Resilience Builder
Sometimes You Don’t Need an Hour. You Need Five Minutes and Your Own Evidence. In my chapter, “Resilience Isn’t Random,” I share that resilience isn’t a trait you either have or you don’t — it’s a skill you build, one problem, one response, one lesson at a time.
This tool is for the moment right after something goes wrong — the meeting that didn’t go your way, the decision you’re second-guessing, the day that knocked the wind out of you. You don’t need to journal for an hour or overhaul your life right now. You need five minutes and one honest answer.

About the Author
Joy E. Mason is a recent retiree who grew up in a family that read insatiably, traveled extensively, and contributed passionately to the community. These experiences, the influence of her family and her faith contributed significantly to her Purpose Journey and her writing.
Joy graduated from Miami University with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and from Butler University with a master’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences. From 1988 to 2017, she worked her way up from associate to a global quality consultant supporting an Indianapolis-based company’s international laboratories. As one of the few African American women science professionals supporting manufacturing, she successfully navigated corporate systems to eventually be recognized for her global project leadership. The sometimes difficult navigation of a corporate environment contributed to exposing what felt like a paradox between wanting to be professionally successful and wanting spiritual fulfillment.
Joy successfully executed an aggressive plan to retire at the age of 50. She is now an entrepreneur leveraging her belief that every process can be improved and every problem can be solved.
Joy uses her extra time to travel, volunteer, read, exercise, and tend her garden.
