Episode 130: How Systems & Mindset Both Massively Impact Your Wedding Business with Lauren Dragon-Cook
Your wedding business can only be as successful as your foundation and two of the biggest components of your foundation are your systems and your mindset. When you think about growing your wedding business, you probably think of marketing and book more clients but there is so much more to it than that. Your systems are what allow you to serve your clients and scale your business and your mindset can either prevent you from growing or supercharge your growth. It’s rare that I meet someone who is so well-versed in something as left-brained as systems and something as right-brained as the woo-woo side of mindset but this guest manages to cover both!

She is a Coach, Speaker, Educator, Author and Creative Innovator. Lauren is passionate about helping others start and grow sustainable businesses through a three-ingredient secret sauce: Setting Up Systems, Getting Found Online and Creating a Show-stopping Client Experience.

Lauren enjoys taking long walks down the aisles of Target in solitude, sneaks an occasional nap in when she’s not chasing her two sons, Liam (6) and Asher (4) and anxiously awaits her nightly glass of Malbec or Cab.
