Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to the second instalment of CEO Conversations! Here I'll be talking to some of my amazing clients about their business journey - the amazing wins and all the crazy shit has gone on behind the scenes that they’ve never spoken about before.
My first guest is one of my longest term clients, powerhouse entrepreneur and founder of the Wedding Collective, Lauren Bridge.
Now where do I start with this lady? After we started working together in late 2021 she has knocked my socks off with her ability to take action and slay her goals. In less than 12 months she hit her first $100k and then decided to start a second business which has skyrocketed to success. She has since doubled her income every single year, become the Director of her own company and continues to blow me away with her no nonsense attitude of go big or go home.
From the outside you’ll only ever see the beautiful badass boss babe Lauren, but let me tell you - her journey hasn’t always been plain sailing. She’s overcome some big mindset hurdles and personal challenges over the last few years and that’s what we’ll be diving into in todays episode.
From nearly burning out after launching her new brand, her mission to becoming a millionaire, the lessons learned from taking quick and dirty action and how she’s had to navigate solo parenting two toddlers and divorcing her husband whilst also growing her company. This is a juicy one! Let’s dive in.
In this episode we discuss:
- The importance of trial and error if you want to hit your goals quickly
- How she’s managed the transition from solopreneur to running her own company
- How she’s navigated hiring team members and delegating her workload
- How she’s nailed her long term vision and some of the trade-offs she’s willing to make in the meantime
- The challenges she’s faced whilst separating from her husband, solo parenting her two toddlers continuing to grow the business.
Quote of the episode: ‘I love money. I like making money. I like spending money. I like sleeping on money’
