"JoClub is an abbreviation, which is a reference to Journaling Club, but also is a fitting reference to my name." Jo Franco begins. "When I first began writing I felt overwhelmed by my emotions, and also having older siblings that were reluctant to hear about my journey. So, I started creating."

"I had no passport, hidden under my car and hid from the authorities, and was also fluent in Portuguese and attending classes in English in addition to fumbling through the streets," she relates. "I gained a number of languages to be acknowledged. However I was unpopular because I was viewed as among the odd children. I was different from kids. My age was considered high end and I had an effortless voice and peaceful personality.

"Of sure it's a simple to consider it now, and the way I experienced. However, at that point I experienced a feeling of guilt and despair "Why do I feel lost and feeling as if I'm not being heard? All of us experience the same sensation."

It was truly a satisfaction to realize that Jo was able to utilize journals to journal: "I had a more conscious and an acceptable view of myself. By simply watching, without having a negative view. I've written about my negative experiences and was aware of all good things happening in my life. It was possible to change my thought process, not just what I wrote however, I was able to try and understand the way I viewed things when I sought out positive outcomes. I was responsible to seek out positive aspects that would provide me with uplifting subjects for writing about. I grew into an enthusiastic person. I was more optimistic."

Be aware of the conditions

As a student living within Manhattan, Jo was overwhelmed with the amount of voices she had to control. Jo was also able to make space within her journal. "It was not a matter of what I was doing in the United States or Europe, I had this journal to allow me to come back and be me.

"My "why" gives my family and friends the same conviction that "You're guaranteed to be fine regardless of what circumstances take place. Not only because you are capable of helping others in your own ways however, it's also a great way to record your personal story. The reason is that when you record the account, you are making an gesture to show appreciation within the context of what was the way it happened. The thoughts you write down will always be in alignment with your own and individual thoughts."

"There's research-based evidence that supports this assertion," she says. "There exist clinical trials that demonstrate gratitude to a treatment. People who can record their gratitude and appreciation, they are happier."

"Give your brain an opportunity to rest. Let the weight off your shoulders and put the words down on paper. When you write about unpleasant issues, you allow yourself the space to reflect on your feelings and express them in a manner that's sensitive. The emotions we experience can cause us to become anxious. They're at the heart of all things. They're the core of confidence as well as the base of charisma. This is the reason they are the principal reason behind people being in a room to draw luck."

"Maybe it's because the member is a private member"

Jo certainly attended a number of good events during 2020. Due to her YouTube channel, which has over 1 million viewers, Jo received a fee to travel. "I enjoyed my active living and social. Then I was writing. It was in the middle of me. I was working on a journal."

In January 2020, she was presented with a Netflix assignment as host for The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals. "It got me off YouTube and onto traditional presentation. Anybody who's been in the process of setting up production has realized it's a lengthy time to complete. There are 16 hours of work and an endless sequence of 'Hurry up and complete it'. It's time to style your hair and get all the makeup you've put on. There are lines you could sketch on your head. The lines could be like "No You're not lying! This is the right best moment to sketch these lines!"

In the event of an interruption with a long duration, Jo would write. "Writing was a pastime for me therefore I wanted to make it a business that was successful." When covid became popular after the show was aired as the main source of revenue disappeared.

"I felt anxious, just like everyone else. I decided to upload photos of my journal. A hundred days later, I had published my journal on Instagram Stories. I thought "Hey there could be an opportunity to join an group." I was thinking there's people looking to meet through a digital space and write together. This is the way JoClub was born. It was four years ago. It's insane!"

In the Netflix show, Jo realized that journaling served as a lens that she used to see the world. "It wasn't just something to do for fun. When you're traveling for two days and you're tired. It's not difficult to become distracted by something totally distinct from what you're expected to get.

"You are aware, "This is how I consider the importance of living. It's how I live. It was clear that when I get rid of other things only one thing isn't going to be removed is writing. It was important for me to include it as an element of the new phase of my life."

Her work is far more extensive than she had ever thought.

Jo decided to join the program. "I was supposed to publish three video clips each week, in three different languages. I had to find people to take their place, and also fire them. I was able to create the content machine."

Something had to change. "I wanted to find ways to go beyond this concept. If you're burned out and tired out, as is typical among creators, there's no possibility of achieving profits. The conclusion was that if I wanted to work in a field that lasts for a long time I must determine how I can shift my main focus towards making money."

Jo was planning to launch something larger than she. Journaling groups began with a bang via Zoom: "The membership started at only $19 a month with Live chats every month, as well as daily prompts for journaling that are sent out to every member's email."

The goal was to design activities that resembled exercises. Two prompts were given followed by a discussion. After that, two prompts came in, and were then broken out rooms. "It transformed into IP (intellectual property)," she recalls. "After an amount of six months, I was thinking about the possibilities to assist facilitators to be educated to run these types of gatherings? Facilitators could help with ways to enrich JoClub through bringing something that I've never seen before? They wanted to "extract the excitement" as well as work alongside the facilitators. Many of them are participants in JoClub and could be able to design the art journal style as along with an "bring your own songs" contest for performers of the younger age category, as well as other related.

"Now we're hosting as many as six sessions each month. I'm in a position to hold any sessions I'd like to hold" she claims. "Beautiful things that I'd never thought of putting in the consideration. I also host retreats for the purpose of experimenting in an academic institution and I'm working on to explore a wide range of subjects. This group would not be capable of doing this if I had been Jo Franco's group's the group's leader."

Cultural and social cohesion

"An vital aspect of joining an organization is to make a space" she says. "If you are buying the membership but are coming to your home there's a way to style your home in any style you like." Jo along with her team has looked into ways to organize discussions that are more entertaining to make sure that "people participate in discussions within the confines of their own communities, and feel they're getting value from their money."

"It's this difference in the meaning of "audience" instead of "membership," she adds. "An audience is going to be able react to the content you share However, that doesn't indicate that the content is the exchange of thoughts. If I share the picture, and then someone responds with a way that could be done to one group, however through the group I'm managing, I'm an participant in the system that occurs when you join this specific group."

Jo is pondering ways to get join the group and what to do to handle those who are new to the group. "How can we deal with people who enter the area and feel like aren't part of the community? Once you've begun becoming adept at curating which is the reason why people are staying for longer periods of time."

The lady is fully aware that this isn't an easy task. "It's an area in which it is necessary to be an enthusiastic person in order to learn new skills because the membership is constantly increasing in membership. If you aren't keeping in the loop with developments taking place in your local area, then the members you have will likely quit."

It's clear that Jo has the compassion and knowledge she acquired from journaling into her management of the company she oversees. Journaling is a method she believes helps us to increase our self-awareness. The school curriculum doesn't teach the following: "We're not given tools for managing emotions. There are methods to help you when you're in a difficult spot. I was awed by how much benefit. I was amazed at the possibilities I could pursue for a hobby. As I got older, I realised, "Damn! It was an undiscovered fact for me!"

Many people inquire about her "Jo at the age of 30, what did you do to accomplish it? After that, I wrote down the details, and then everything worked out as I had planned." She smiles.
