Mrs. Joyce Bone is a well-rounded combination of mom, wife and entrepreneur. Her success story starts simply as a stay at home mom that was jogging around a track with her eighteen month in tow when she heard over her headphones a question that would change her destiny: “If you had the ideal life what would that life look like?” She found this question intriguing, as she never took the time to really consider it. She wrote down her answers about an ideal life and started taking action to achieve it.
In eighteen months time she went from a stay at home mom to a CEO running a publicly traded company she co-founded with her former boss. EarthCare was traded on NASDAQ under ECCO and catered to the non-hazardous liquid waste industry. She was responsible for the startup formation, acquisitions, operations and initial public offering of her company, which ultimately reached $125 million in annual revenues. She attributes the dramatic change to the decision she made to live her life on purpose.
Mrs. Bone has been featured in MONEY, Kiplingers, and Millionaire Blueprints magazines for her work. She was also featured on the corporate training television show, the Excellent Women Club. Joyce contributed to the book “What No One Tells You About Real Estate Investing” and will be featured in March 2007 in the “100 Year Life Cycle” by Pulitzer Prize Winning Author Anita Sharpe. Mrs. Bone received her Bachelor’s of Science from Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Georgia. In addition to volunteering in her children’s schools, she is on the Board of Directors for CASA Gwinnett, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping guide foster children successfully as they enter the foster care system.
