We all want to live fabulously, but what does that even mean really? For some of us it means having a shiny new car. For others, it means having that beautiful 4 bedroom house with granite kitchen counters. For some, it might mean travelling to new and exotic destinations. There is no one exact way to live fabulously, but I would like to share what I think fabulous living is.

I started my VA company, Living Fabulously with Lauren, because the idea of working 40 hours a week for someone else’s dream didn’t sit right with me. At only 19, I knew I wanted to be in charge of my life. I wanted to be the CEO of my life, and to make empowered decisions. Becoming a VA gave me the opportunity to decide.

I decide who I work with. I decide how much money I make. I decide what I do with my time.

My decision to become a vir…

In a world where digitalization is taking over, you can’t afford to be left out. Therefore, it is crucial to have a good website.

You hired your team because your business grew too big for you to handle all the things on your own (a fabulous challenge to have, btw). But I get it – even with support, you still have issues letting things go .. we all do.

Every business will experience growing pains. And while your team might be amazing at what they do, they can’t read your mind when it comes to bringing your big vision to life. That’s why it’s absolutely critical that you bring your vision and expectations to your team in a comprehensive way, so that you can delegate with confidence.

In order for your business to grow and thrive, while still maintaining the quality service that surpasses your client’s expectations, every member on your team needs fully documented processes and standardized training. 

I’m often asked what’s the best way to …

So you have a product or service you want to sell....how exciting!

You've gotten the word out, made your first sale and are finding out that the amount of time you are putting into running your business (i.e. scheduling meetings, client follow up, requesting reviews and any form of marketing and website updates) is what you are spending most of your day on.

In fact, you're spending so much of your day on it that you are finding the time you have to dedicate to the reason you went into business in the first place is far and few between.

As a result, of the clients/customers you are able to attract the product/service originally intended is still in its prototype phase rather than you becoming the expert in your field you know you can be. The opportunity for great reviews gets farther and few between and eventu…

We’ve all done it at some time or other. We put off our exercise routine until tomorrow; we continually delay finishing that project or starting that business.

Procrastination is the mother of all demons and can literally stop you in your tracks from achieving all that you desire.

Here are 5 effective processes you can use to slay this giant.

1. Do it now

Hold your breath and jump right in! Putting things off until the last minute is a bad habit and like all habits is ingrained in our subconscious mind and hard to break. It feels like the normal thing to do and we simply continue along our path. To complete a task immediately may even feel strange or like a forced action.

2. Take baby steps

Sometimes we procrastinate because the task may be intimidating to us.…

Twas raining outside, and I looked outside the window from my home office, to watch the water drops, which some of them were already turning into ice. The typical Autumn weather in Germany. I saw our maid haven't had the chance to finish cleaning the pile of leaves she had made from the endless leaves that are falling from the trees in our garden, and I see her standing on our front port, with an angry face towards the sky.I started pondering about my life. What an amazing life I have. A note of happiness burst into the surface, with a taste of victory, accomplishment and pride in myself. A wave of love started pouring out of my heart, with a feeling of being loved, supported, and being always connected to an unlimited supply. There is never a shortage of money, in fact, I hardly ever think of mon…
