Once Upon A Time As Lauren Fritsch

* Before becoming a parent, Lauren was in business for 11 years

* She started out in business at 23, and she became an entrepreneur because she could not fathom going to an office every single day

* As a result, she found her own way. That led her in many different directions, but she started out in the fashion industry




* As in parenting, the challenges are different in every stage in a business
* Three years ago Lauren became a parent, and her life changed instantly
* In the time since she has had her child, it has further clarified her desires regarding her business

* In addition, it has caused her to completely change her business model and find many new and innovative ideas


*
* The joy money matrix comes from Lauren’s belief that joy needs to be prioritized
*

* After prioritizing joy, the revenue will actually increase


* It is easy to get caught up in whatever task is in front of us, but then it becomes easy to not prioritize joy
* When you begin to prioritize joy, you’ll see that a lot of things you do don’t actually produce a lot of revenue and it doesn’t bring you happiness
*
* It is very easy to be all or nothing about your joy

* First you need to know what makes you happy
* You must also realize that, for example, you don’t need an art studio to create art


* In addition to her joy matrix system, she has a model for customer acquisition that she has used with her large clients
*
* Lauren looks at the joy in a corporate environment, and then she trains one team in the company on her joy imperative system

* This helps add joy to the business, so instead of employees feeling disengaged they’re more engaged and happier to be there


* It shouldn’t be like a war zone to try to find clients
* Lauren fell into attachment parenting early on and ended up in a depression

* She did not have many boundaries, but eventually she got a team and she was able to get back to a place of happiness


* Hot to get everything to work is the questions parents ask all their lives
* if you just listen, you will be ready for the milestones of your children growing up

* Make sure they feel open to talk to you about everything


* If you aren’t open and accepting of people making mistakes then you will not provide a fun and enjoyable work environment
* Our childhood and the way we were raised totally directs out actions
* Having an open and honest relationship with your child is a must
*
* Sometimes parents behave in a way at home with their children that would get them fired in the work world
* Lauren will think that if she shouldn’t do something in public or in someone’s office she shouldn’t do it at all
* Prioritize joy. Even if it’s only ten minutes a day, you need to fill your cup of joy
