In this episode of the Jake Dunlap Show, we are joined by Simone Milasas, an innovative business leader, founder, and creator at Joy of Business.
Simone is convinced that the secret behind her 30 years of thriving in the business world lies in her positive mindset and in her belief that “life is not about ticking boxes, but rather to enjoy abundant living and to be fully engaged with all choices.”
She was $187k in debt when she managed to build her life back up and create the “Joy of Business”, a program that empowers entrepreneurs to embrace their own unique leadership and business skills.
Simone shares her life-changing tools and techniques all over the world as a leading Facilitator with “Access Consciousness” and through her books “Joy of Business”, “Getting out of Debt Joyfully” and “Create Your Own Financial Reality”.

Quotes
“The world was just pulling at me. I was so intrigued with the rest of the world. I was always so interested in the world and when a lot of my friends were, you know, wanting to get married and have kids, I was like “I wanna see the world” (...) and “I want to own my own business”. Business was a way to get out there, to travel and make money.”
“I was a backpacker in London and I was living in a three-bedroom house, with one bathroom with 21 people(...) and when I wanted to have my own space, as having no money, I’d take the bus and ride from one end of London to the other (...) I was writing these ideas of what I wanted to be in the world, how I wanted to invite people to something different (...) different quotes and different people that I met and I started putting them on T-shirts and I designed the T-shirts and merchandise.”
“I started doing these classes on the joy of business with Acess Consciousness tools and, for me, truthfully I was on stage going, wow this is boring (...) But then I realized so many people came up to me and they were so grateful. Things that I was taking for granted, like the tools I was using, weren’t, and they were opening these doors that matched the energy of what it is that I was looking to create.”
“One of the gifts of 2020 and 2021 was a lot of people started to look at everything, their businesses, their relationships, and (started asking) am I actually choosing this because I’m enjoying it and it’s my life or am I choosing this because it’s a necessity. And if you make anything a necessity, it’s going to have this control over you (...) It’s a really old tool but it’s a good one, a good question to ask. If every single person left your life, your business left, would you choose it again?”
“If you can align people to what they’re good at, even if they’re only doing that for 20% of their job (...) holly crap are they productive. As opposed to, if they’re not super pumped up about what they’re doing and they’re working 100% but you’re only getting like 50% (yield).”
“A lot of leaders don’t want to step into what if you’re willing to be useless and surround yourself with all these people that are so confident and then you become useless. That’s a very vulnerable energy to step into, cause all of a sudden you’re like what’s my role here? (...) Every time I’ve done this when I become useless, I step into more creation and it opens up a bigger and a greater door for something different.”
