I help entrepreneurs leapfrog over the typical potholes that derail most small businesses with inspiration, motivation, education, and support across a wide range of business topics drawn from over a decade of running my own business, teaching entrepreneurship for the City of New York, and coaching and consulting privately with dozens of women and minority small business owners. Honestly, why go it alone when help is an email away?

Hi Reader, It's been a while since I've done any public workshops or speaking engagements and I'm excited to announce I'm returning to one of my favorite venues next week, the New York Public Library Business Center. It's a virtual session, so no matter where you live, you can join in the fun and education! Stop Selling Yourself Short: Avoid Common Pricing MistakesMonday, May 19th 12:00PM-1:30PM (ET)
In this session, I share the 5 pricing mistakes I see all the time with my students and clients and how to avoid or fix them as well as some of my best pricing tips. Plus, there'll be plenty of time to answer questions, too. But don't just take my word for how valuable this session is going to be. Here's what attendees of my free pricing sessions say: Got so much out of Lauren's talk. Can’t believe it was free of charge.
Super informative and helpful. One of the best speakers! If you are struggling with pricing products/services, I highly recommend attending any of Lauren's informative sessions on pricing. I know with the current economic uncertainty, pricing is a hot button topic for a lot of businesses. It's one element of our strategy that we have ultimate control over and that can make or break us. It's also one of the key ways to position your company for ultimate success or failure. I hope you'll join me Monday and bring your burning pricing questions with you. Until next time, Your success is our strategy! No longer want to receive my newsletter but don't want to miss my special offers and announcements? Click here. |

These buyers are motivated, accommodating, and happen to be a lovely family who are happy for us to leave any furniture we don't...
Hi Reader, Firstly, my session at NYPL Monday received rave reviews from attendees. So, if you missed it and want to catch the replay, see the link in the postscript. As we head into the Memorial Day Weekend here in the states and the unofficial start of summer, I'm thinking back to the time I negotiated with my boss to take a leave of absence from my job to accept an invitation to a writer's retreat in Vermont. It was amazing, and I still can't believe I was able to swing it and, yes, come...
Hi Reader, After 20 years, I'm moving house and probably will be moving again shortly thereafter. The prospect of moving is, in a word, daunting. It's one of the most stressful things we experience in life. I'm trying not to think about all of that and look on this time as an opportunity to let go of the things that no longer serve me and streamline the things that do. Though, it's not easy.
