How does she do it?

Hello!

My name is Lauren and I am a mother, business owner, wife, friend, sister, daughter and the list goes on.

Each day I juggle daycare drop-off, client meetings, business deadlines, household chores and — somewhere in there — some time to myself.

I am not alone: each day I am inspired by the people in life who are all living the same juggling act.

I must admit I regularly hear the question “how do you do it?” but I have a simple answer — it’s my job.

I made the conscious choice to start my business after I realised working in a conventional 9-5pm position wasn’t going to suit my personal circumstances, plus I always had a yearning for more.

My marketing business was born over a family dinner with one too many wines and an attitude of “what’s the worst that could happen?”

Being in business makes you accountable.

It’s all about making a commitment to your clients, to your family, to the prosperity of your business and ultimately to yourself.

Sure, it can be exhausting, but it is also very rewarding.

It’s all about perfecting that balancing act.

This is something many people have been doing since the dark ages because working, raising a family, keeping in contact with friends and forever multi-tasking isn’t a foreign concept in our current economy.

We reside in a region that is flourishing at the moment. It’s an exciting time to be in business. You either choose to ride the wave or you don’t — everyone has their own journey.

It’s the people with drive; the people with true passion who success comes looking for.

And like them, I just prefer to knuckle down and get on with it.

It’s a great way to approach business and a great way to approach life.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.
