Testimonials

This course has been the biggest help for me in strategizing how to put together a hiring process when hiring for the first time. It also me up to speed on administrative things that I wasn't privy to before.

Within 24 hours of posting my first job description per Joy's recommendations, I had candidates rolling in and a smooth process to easily weed through them and narrow down to ideal, interviewable candidates.

Marisa, The Neon Tea Party

Joy's course gives detailed advice on how to create a team that is structured, efficient, and most importantly, joyful. This course taught us how to instill value and intentions into every aspect of our team building and culture, and how small details contribute to growing and sustaining a long-term and dedicated team. After the course, we were able to implement tangible steps to incorporate into our company. One of our favorite takeaways is Joy's importance of recognizing how you want your employees to feel at the end of the day. We loved how this course included practicality, passion, and personality.

Bryan and Stephanie, Amazebowls

After taking Joy's course, my thoughts on building a team are now more organized. I truly feel like I have the tools to build a team. I also really loved that Joy took the time to teach not only how to grow a team but also how to be a GOOD boss. She talks about basic rules and how to connect with employees but still keep healthy boundaries. Some of my favorite parts of the course were her opening up about how to work with accounting and HR, budgeting for employees, personal sacrifice to help make overall gain, and creating dreams within (and outside!) the workplace.

Sarah Webb, Plain Jane

I walked away from Joy's class with a better understanding of how to take tangible steps to create the business of my dreams. Transitioning from being a solopreneur feels scary. I've taken a few online and weekend in-person business courses, and this one felt the most doable and practical step-by-step. It's a true road map in many ways, even as it was specific to how she did it, I felt it was customized for my needs!

Bevin, Fat Kid Dance Party Aerobics

Joy's class was an eye opener to say the least! I appreciated her ability to cut through the nuances of 21st century hiring and hiring practices. She gave me clear direction for identifying loyal, talented team members and beyond that, how to keep them long term and running a team on the day-to-day. Going forward, I now feel confident in how and when I need to fill roles and am excited to build my team!

Kara Nilsson, Leisure Lane

What I really loved about the class is how Joy emphasized how much we (bosses, employers) are such a huge part of an employee's success and how our interest in their growth can make all the difference. I loved everything Joy said about how we can grow that passion in someone to become better and in turn we receive a loyal, hardworking, team member. 

Jen San Juan, Hob Coffee

I walked away with a much better sense of direction and not feeling alone in my journey. Growing a team always felt scary to me, but now I am feeling more confident in making those future decisions.

Flower Cole, The Unicorn Store

I loved the "How to Grow a Dream Team" online class. It motivated me to change my approach and expectations for growing my team and their roles for my event and wedding planning business. Also, I feel that it helped me figure out a better balance of being a mom and boss.

Lilian Hsyu, Just Merried Events

Growing a team and your business is so intimidating but listening to Joy's experiences and tips made it so much more relatable and digestible.

Dianuh Gundersen, Chasing Linen

Hello and welcome!

Hi! I'm Joy Cho, Founder and Creative Director of Oh Joy!, a lifestyle brand based in Los Angeles.

I have been running a successful business for over 13 years and given keynote speeches on entrepreneurship, leadership, and social media at dozens of conferences. I've also consulted for hundreds of small businesses over the years, helping to guide budding entrepreneurs through their growth and struggles. My company has been featured in: Time Magazine, Fast Company, Oprah Magazine, Domino Magazine, Good Morning America, Parents Magazine, and more!

I love guiding budding entrepreneurs with all of the things I've learned in my 13+ years in business. The Oh Joy! Academy will help you get over any current hurdles and take your business to the next level.

As a small business owner or leader at a company, hiring your first employee can be scary. And then, if you decide to hire your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. With every new employee, you are giving yourself a chance to grow your business, but you’re also taking a financial risk and holding the responsibility of someone’s pay check in your hands. Once you decide you need to hire, how do you find the right people who will complement your skills and stick with you as your business grows? 

This is my personal take on hiring the right people for your business. It's not just about how to find great people who do great work, but also about how to keep great people who do great work, how to inspire them, lead them, and how to create something they want to be a part of. Join me in this class as I help you to grow your very own Dream Team.

Here's to a happy team and happy bosses (that's you!),
Joy
