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?
Setting a New Course

At the end of each class I teach for NYC's Small Business Services I encourage students to complete an evaluation that helps me understand, among other things, their biggest 'aha' during our time together. Overwhelmingly, students share that the session I lead and the individual advice I provide on pricing is truly eye-opening and transformational. Here are some of the recent comments: "The discussions around not pricing your products and services correctly and including your time in your financial projections were the most salient topics for me."
"What especially resonated with me was when Lauren said, 'If you keep having to reduce your pricing, you are targeting the wrong market.'" "I had a few aha moments but I’d say, my pricing format and how I can raise my prices but still retain existing customers."

This past weekend I had my first AI interview. At the beginning of the week, I applied for a contract gig posted to LinkedIn, mostly on a lark. It was simple to use their "Easy apply" to do it and so what did I have to lose?! The next day I received an email asking me to set up a 20 minute interview with the company's AI recruiter. The notification assures me there is no need to prepare. I will simply be asked questions related to the experience and education included in my resume. At the...
As someone who has a Masters in Writing, specifically poetry, I'm no stranger to the ancient Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, known in the West as Lao Tzu. But even without a degree or interest in poetry, you're probably familiar with his work, too. This week, in a rare moment of down-time, these quotes from Lao Tzu came across my social media feed and for a multitude of reasons—some personal, some professional—they just hit different. So I thought I'd share them with you...
