Hey there! My name is Lauren Lbik! It’s a bit of a strange last name, right? It’s actually Polish, like my husband. I’m a pretty average American girl living a not-so-average life. Everything changed when I started my first online business.
I had a plan for my life.
My parents weren’t really the creative types. They were very successful and career-driven, and that was certainly something that I picked up from them.
Get a job. Climb the corporate ladder. Be successful and you’ll be happy. Right?
This is how I grew up and I had no desires to start an online business, mostly because I didn’t think I would be good at it. Thankfully, everything changed when I met a guy who a completely different mindset than mine. Together, he and I started a health blog — with absolutely no idea what we were doing except that we knew that we wanted to “make money online.”
The first few months were hard. I was in way over my head. I didn’t believe that I could write articles or emails. I enjoyed the design aspect the most, but that wasn’t going to make money anytime soon. So I learned — and learned some more.
There were a lot of failures in those first few months.
The first blog ended up being a failure and we scrapped it to make an entirely new one. I ended up quitting my full-time job as an accountant 2 months after finally getting my CPA license and before this new website was making a dime.
It was scary, but I knew that I wanted to do this. I enjoyed it and I was going to make it work no matter what.
And that’s what I did.
The failures and mistakes made became learning lessons. Learning what didn’t work and why it didn’t work helped me to learn what DID work.
Now, I’ll fast forward this timeline a little bit. This ”guy” I started that first website with — he and I dated for 4 years while running our online business together. We traveled the world and achieved levels of success I hadn’t even ever dreamed of. But along the way, as our business grew, so did we — but not together.
We parted ways romantically, but we still own another online business together that we collaborate on and have a team to help us run it.
Business Milestones
Here are some of the milestones I’ve achieved on my journey into online business and becoming an entrepreneur:
- Health blog consistently earning $20,000/month and later sold
- Started another niche blog that has earned over $200,000 in a single month at its peak
- Started three YouTube channels, one of which was monetized as a separate business and later sold
- Started a podcast (that I later shut down due to personal reasons)
- Traveled to over 40 countries while working remotely on my online businesses
- And quite a few other various websites and projects
With every new business that I’ve started, I’ve found success quicker than the last. Because at some point, it does become a business model that you can quickly and easily replicate.
And that’s what I’m here to teach you. On this website, I want to teach you how you can discover your inner creator and create a life of freedom for yourself that you never imagined was possible.
Because if this imposter-syndrome-suffering accountant can do this, you certainly can to!
