In the Beauty and the Biz e-book, Joby shared her own "The 10 commandments of the Orange Lady: Thoughts on living a joyful and balanced personal business life!"

1.  Put God First In Everything You Do.

2.  Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated.

8.  Feel Beautiful. Be Beautiful. 

9.  Count Your Blessings.

10.  Find Your Purpose And Seize It. Let Your Light Shine.

Grateful Mission n Life

Since the enhanced community quarantine took effect, Joby didn’t think twice in extending help to her employees and other people in need. "I believe that God has called me for a mission. I try to live every single day with that verse in mind. I think the reason why I became a businesswoman instead of a doctor is, for me, to bless more people with the work that I do.”

"I have come to realize that living with a great sense of purpose makes life worth living, more meaningful. I have found my purpose in life and have tried to live by this verse from Matthew 5:16, my mantra in life, ‘Make your light shine so that others may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.’

What great an inspirational, and sharing also what I always read from Joby's greetings, "AMDG" - Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam means "for the greater glory of God.”
