Lauren kicks off with an insight into how her 7 figure business came to be. From deferring entry to university, Lauren decided to work at an asset management firm where she had the realisation that by staying in a role like this she might ultimately end up feeling unfilled and unsatisfied. Combined with the difficulties her brother faces in his daily life, Lauren realised her ability to create freedom for herself whilst impacting the lives of others, she felt almost a moral obligation to live her life to the fullest and achieve the freedom she desired.
Around this time she was hugely obsessed with the world of fitness and always dreamt of creating a physical product somewhere in the fitness niche, but having tried several attempts at this, it didn't quite go to plan. Lauren was massively intrigued by the growing number of people she saw online, providing fitness coaching for others and being able to travel the world. Lauren decided against the advice of her colleagues to start making content that helped others and get herself out there!
After being dropped from sponsorship by one of the industry's leading fitness companies, Lauren was still able to travel and live the life she wanted, which gained the interest of her friends who were in a similar position. By sharing what she was doing with her friends and word of mouth marketing - led to the creation of what is now Impact School.
Following this story, we talk about the importance of mindset and taking care of yourself, physically. Whether you aspire to run a lifestyle business or leave a legacy and create something huge, fundamentally it comes down to the mindset you have, that dictates the decisions you make. As well as this is the importance of personal development, being able to grow as a person to become the individual that delivers on the goals and vision you set for yourself. Taking time to focus on yourself every day and doing the things that will move your business forward the most, is really important.
By overcoming some of the challenges faced, Lauren shares how this has ultimately made her a stronger person and completely transformed how she handles certain situations and having an outlook such as 'how can this make me stronger?
Lastly, we discuss how anyone can start to hit their goals and achieve their dreams:
Get real with yourself and don't put off making a start, don't wait for things to be perfect, get yourself out there and listen to the feedback from your customers to improve. But make a start.
Focus on who are you serving, exactly, and constantly focus on your business development based on the needs of your clients.
This was a really inspirational and motivating podcast! A big thank you to Lauren for sharing her story and the lessons learnt along her journey.
