On today's episode of gathering the Kings. It was in that when my husband told me it wasn't making money and figuring it out, it was I gotta pay attention to the numbers. I'm a creative person. I was like, I have to learn how to like data more because that was one of the ways that I was able to actually figure out how to make my I had a costing sheet then. Like, I I was pricing out all of my all of my materials. I was comparing it against orders that were coming in.
Yeah. Oh, you do you you do have to get out of your comfort zone. A 100%. When you know you have Chaz, when you know, you can do more, but I would say also, like, I had I chose to make that hard experience something that would teach me. Like, we had every reason under the sun to not be married anymore and to go on with our lives and pick up pieces and feel miserable. Right? Right.

So let's jump in right now. Get your pen and paper. Let's go. Alright, guys. Lauren Anderson on the stage today.
I cannot wait for you guys to hear the story. Lauren, thanks for being here. Hi. Hi. How are you, Chaz? So It's it's great. I'm glad that you're here. And you have such a unique story being an entrepreneur and even just your product, but tell us what you do. Tell us a little bit of, an idea of what the business looks like today. Obviously, your 7 figure That's the the qualification to be at the king's table as a queen yourself. And so tell us what that looks like.
I teach people how to decorate cookies. I love it. I just love it. Kinda crazy because, you know, you you, like, it's so funny because, like, you go through life and you have your story. And and you mentioned, hey, it's this unique store. I'm like, I didn't I didn't know it was unique, you know, this is just what my life has been like, and my path has been like. But, anyway, I decorate cookies for a living, and I teach people to decorate cookies.
But it's it through that I'm able to reach people and mostly women who are are struggling. I helped them live life with a little bit more joy, fill their cup, and work through all of the ups and downs in life that we go through. Yeah. And it's a really fun way to do it. Absolutely. And so not only have you created a business for yourself, but really what you're doing is you're helping women mostly. I'm sure. But Possibly. Yeah. We got a hand limit. Yeah. Of course.
There's always the couple baker guys, which is great. Oh, you're helping them buy Freedom. By by building a business, you're helping them step into something maybe that they weren't sure about, but you're giving them the tools necessary to forge a new trail. I love it. Yeah. Yep. That's awesome. Okay. So how long have you been doing this? So I've been, well, I've been decorating cooking about 4 or 5 years now.
I always judge by how old my youngest son is, which is the whole reason it all started, but but Yeah. No. Lolly's Chaz, like, an online cookie education and, like, teaching to people how to run a profitable cook business. That has been in the last a little over a year and a half. Yeah. That that's incredible. And if you're taking notes right now, what I want you to hear, I'm gonna recap this several times as we go through the show here.
The listeners know I do this, but what what Lauren's talking about is that she didn't have this, like, gumption of it. I'm gonna create this cookie decorating empire. It was an idea. And, sure, she's gonna give us some more information on how it came to be, but it was something that she just went with. And then has turned into something much bigger than probably she even thought, but there's key things along the way that's helped her get there.
And we're gonna get into those key things, just love the story, especially since you've had such amount of success in such a short amount of time. I just think it's incredible for the listener to to hear today. So let's jump into the story of, like, where it all began. Obviously, entrepreneurship runs. I know your I know your husband's in business and stuff like that, but tell us for you, your entrepreneurship journey, how did that start?
So my entrepreneurship journey in this space started with my son, but I'm gonna go back a a ways growing up is really interesting. My but but with my parents did not go to college. My mom went to catering college. My mom, is British. And I anyway, my dad's American, but they both worked from home. My dad worked from home. So his job allowed him to work from home. We grew up out in the country. That was my first introduction to some entrepreneurship.
Sure. And then and my mom, she was a a crafter, and she would do craft shows and make make stuff and sell it. I was like, okay. That that was my first intro. So I grew up with that a little and I grew up with it at that kind of Chaz fire, but that none of this whole business started until my son was born my youngest son. So we have 3 kids. I've got ten year olds and eight year olds and now a six year old. Yeah. But to the youngest six year old Mica is his name.
And when we got pregnant with him, the doctor told us at the 6 month appointment where you find out if you're having a boy or girl, they said he's got some heart problems. And we're like, wait, what? Though, my daughter was super disappointed. It was another boy, but we were we were taken back by with the doctor's told us. And and then at that point, your hindsight is 2020 at that point, but they told us what to expect.
He was gonna be born with 6 different heart effects, he'd have to have surgery to week old. We made all these plans to deliver to a different hospital because the heart surgeon there was the best around. And and so we had him, and we thought we knew what we could deal with it. We're like, we got this. No problem. His first surgery went fine. It went great. We took At at a week old. At a week old.
So their their heart is the size of a walnut, but his plumbing was all up, they had to put in some pieces. Like, it it was like open heart surgery. Crack your stern and open heart surgery. And so at a week old, he had his first surgery, We brought him home at about a month old. And then he had a feeding tube, met tons of medications. Like, it was been the same.
We just the doctors told us, you gotta keep him well and help and gaining weight until eight months old when he could have another surgery. Wow. And so at eight months old, we took him in, and he had a second open heart surgery because he had to have grown enough for them to do that second surgery. Sure. After that, we took him home. He had a partially open lung when we took him home within twenty hours of being home. He had a fever and his incision. I was like, this is not looking right.
It was infected. We had to take him back to the hospital, and we didn't leave the hospital for at least 9 months. Wow. 9 months. Not 9 days. 9 months. That was the first that was the 1st, like, long stay. Is we ended up back in the hospital. His lungs collapsed. And we were there for 3 weeks, and then I get a call. My my husband needed me. My kids needed me. I was at home. We we lived about 45 minutes from the hospital.
K. And, I got a call saying you gotta get here, your son, like, we just had to do an emergency intervention, which was basically his heart stopped. He stopped breathing. Like, we had to save his life. And I just remember trying to get back to the hospital as fast as I could. My husband met me there, and we couldn't even get in the room. Like, he was surrounded by doctors, and they were frantically trying to figure out what to do. And at that at that time. I I didn't know up from down.
I was in the waiting room and another heart mom came up to me and asked, can I do something for you? And I I was like, I don't know what to tell her. I don't know what's going on, but then what really got me was the chaplain came over to us. And I'd seen it before, and I was like, no. Because that the chaplain comes over to you, it means that your kid is gonna die. And I'm sorry.
I always get emotional when I talk about this because, like, that was the moment where, man, you just realize how precious life is. Yeah. And I I pushed them away. I was like, I'm not talking to you. Like, I refuse to believe that this is it. Right? Right. And it's probably a little bit more emotional on this one because we just recently had a death in the family. Oh. This week, my stepmother-in-law passed away. It was super sudden. And, yes, it is. It really is.
So the chaplain, like, I was like, I'm not talking to you. My son, he is is He was born with, I think, some thick jeans, and he was sturdy, literally, like, sturdy enough. Like, these heart babies, they struggle to gain weight. And Right. And our son was able to gain enough weight, kept him. That was something that actually helped save his life. Yeah. He made it through. He made it through. He was, like, one step away from from being on a not a ventilator. Oh gosh. I can't remember the name now.
Serious critical condition. Yes. Like, super critical condition, but he made it through, and we spent 9 months recovery from that. And then We spent about 2 years total in and out of the hospital trying to figure out why you couldn't breathe and come to find out his heart and lungs and and airways were fighting for space in his tiny little body.
Wow. And they ended up doing a third open heart surgery, and they it was the only medical team in the country that would do this surgery is the original surgeon that operated on him because it was most we we looked at other surgeons. They're like, I'm not even gonna try that. I don't think fix it. I don't I can't fix it, but we really literally had to move his airways, like, a fraction of a millimeter away from his heart so that he could breathe. Wow. Incredible. And, and they did it.
They did a third open heart surgery. And after he started to recover from that one was when we we were in the we were at home more than the hospital. But then I turned into nurse mom. Right. And I was his main caregiver. We were working out having nurses come in and help, but, man, like, I was the main one keeping him alive. My husband working and trying to help prepare the kids. I was with my my son, Mike, all day. And Completely overwhelmed. I'm sure both of you. Oh gosh.
Completely overwhelmed. And I started to experience caregiver fatigue. Yeah. It's real. My mom noticed. And so when she came into town, so she lives in Oregon, and we were in Chicago at the time. When she came into town, she brought these this airbrush and cookies. Okay. Who's this? And if mom's, no, they they she recognized that I needed something to distract me. Yeah. And I the focal point.
Yes. Yeah. So she had taken a cookie decorating class, and it taught she learned how to use an airbrush with edible food paint to airbrush on sugar cookies. Yeah. And I was like, I was hooked. I was like, this is amazing. And I started researching it more. I started, like, just doing it myself. Yeah. My mom actually she gave me the airbrush to practice with it. And I started baking sugar cookies and icing them with royal icing, and I started air brushing and decorating them. Couldn't get enough.
Could not get enough. It was like my therapy. Yeah. As my husband came home one day. He's honey. This is like cookie trays everywhere. It's just I was gonna say, do you have, like, stacks and stacks of cookies everywhere in the house? Yep. Yeah. And I bought a banking rack, like, I was just taking a Wow. House. And my husband came home one day, and he's honey. Like, he's he was worried. And Yeah. Are you okay? It just seems like you're trying to escape. Yeah. And I'm like, absolutely.
Like, you don't have to try to escape when my life is miserable right now, and my son might die in his sleep. I don't know how it came to this, but, like, I have to keep doing this. And I did. I was like, I'm I took care of my son and my kids and I did cookies. And my poor husband at the time was probably more neglected than I would have liked, but we were both struggling. We were Oh, yeah. Yeah. So survival mode at that point. For you guys. Totally. Hold on.
We were on survival mode for years, but that's when I started doing cookies. People started to come out of the woodwork because then they found out I did cookies. Yeah. And people started wanting to buy from me. I was like, what is this? Yes. And that was when. That was the moment that the my the home based bakery cookie business started where I was producing physical cookies and people bought them. Yep. But it it that was the beginning.
My husband who is a CPA So I've been doing it for a while and selling cookies. When I'm saying quote unquote, selling cookies, he came to me, and he told me he always gives me, a straight view of what our financials are like. And he looked at the P and L, and he's like Yeah. Honey, you're not making money. I was like, excuse me. Right. I was like, I'm selling cookies. Like, I'm putting my heart and soul in this. Like, I love this, and I'm working so stinky hard. How am I not making money?
And she showed me the numbers. And I was like, well, I'm not making profit. And it bugged me. It bugged me, and I was like, there's no way. I gotta figure this out. I gotta figure out how The competitive spirit inside of you said, wait. Wait a second. Yeah. And so I, I was like, no. I'm gonna figure this out. So I did. I worked with my husband to figure it out. Okay. Here's where I can spend. Here's what I should be charging. Here's how I shoot.
I I Yep. I figured all of that out and got to a point where I was gonna Chaz, and I was, physically tapped out of creating the product to sell as much as I could in a month. I reached my goal. I reached my goal for Chaz, but I was like, I know I can go further.
And at that point, my husband and I, and this is a couple years ago, My husband and I were he was trying to level up his own CPA firm, and we were trying to do marketing for it and learning the whole kind of digital marketing and on on the online space. And I Chaz started trying to help him. Looking back, I didn't know what I was doing. And so then I knew after more kind of self education in that area, I knew that I could apply it to the cookie Right.
My husband my husband did too because he could see some potential there that I couldn't see. That was, like, the thick of it. Before you jump in before you jump into the to the to the next level, Let's let's dissect a little bit because you have given us already. Like, I first off, I'm sure the listener like me is just, like, following along in your story. So emotional, and we've just been with you this entire time in and out of the hospital the whole time.
And so what I'm hearing for the listener, because this is the first time I've recapped this for them, is that hard things happen, and they didn't bring you to an end. You you pass through. We hear this all the time. For the persistence, push through. Don't give up. But this is real life for you. This is, like, family, literally life on the line, and you didn't necessarily know in the moment to do, but your instincts said I have to keep going.
Yep. Yeah. And so I want the listener to be able to hear that. And then now that they've heard your story go, okay. In your own way, you have to be able to keep going. Now oftentimes Chaz the listener, like, we've talked about this six figure person who's trying to get to where you're where you're about to explain where you just went to seven figures. But in that grind, it goes from I started out. It was a hobby. It was a side business. It was I enjoyed it.
You weren't making any money, but but you were you gotta escape. Right. Exactly. And so at some point, someone, in this case, it was your husband, had to give you some practicals away. In order to run a successful business, you have to price yourself accordingly. You have to figure out the best cost of goods. You have to be able to understand labor. You have to be able to put all these things together so that there is margin.
Otherwise, you're gonna not make money number 1, which then eventually erodes any sort of, desire for the business. Right. I would say so, yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because it was in that when my husband told me it wasn't making money and figuring it out, it was I gotta pay attention to the numbers. I'm a creative person. I was like, I have to learn how to like data more because that was one of the ways that I was able to actually figure out how to make money.
I had the costing sheet then. Like, I I was pricing out all of my all of my materials. I was comparing it against orders that were coming in. Yeah. Oh, you didn't you you do have to get out of your comfort zone a 100%. When you know you have that, when you know, you can do more, but I would say also, like, I had I chose to make that hard experience something that would teach me.
Like, we had every reason under the sun to not be married anymore and to go on with our lives and pick up pieces and feel miserable. Right? Right. Both of us were like, we are not letting that happen. Like, we we are gonna take this and make something out of it. And this cookie thing, man, it I knew that something was there and it was a conscious decision to actually turn it into something that could be a benefit to people and not just something for me or my family. Right.
Don't want me miserable my whole life. And then you being able to now share or duplicate yourself through the the teaching process, obviously, Chaz has has grown the business. So let's so many nuggets so far. Thank you for being vulnerable, number 1, and sharing. Like, I think we all, to a degree, have our unique story, some more maybe severe than others.
But what I've gotten so far from your story is that, look, no matter where you're at, someone else has it maybe worse or a different case scenario, they're pressing just as hard as you are just because I see the the trophies in the background or the fact that you're a seven figure person or whatever, it just it doesn't mean that you didn't have to trump through just the dirt sometimes to get there. And so thank you for sharing that and making it real because That's real for everybody.
That's entrepreneurship. So when you were making these decisions along the way, and I know you're about to transition your story to maybe more of the teaching process and growing the marketing side of the business, but Give us when you make decisions inside of the business, specifically back then when you were trying to go to 7 figures, Was there a formula, or do you have a formula now about making decisions so that you try to make good decisions? So that's a really great question.
I have learned one more of a feeler. So I learn how to incorporate data and all of that into my decisions. K. But I probably go one with my gut first, and I have learned to open my mind and listen to other people who know what they're talking about. Yeah. I used to think I knew everything. But guess what? That put me in a position where I wasn't making money. And so my husband at the time was my person was like, Lauren, if you really wanna accomplish this, here's what you can do.
And since then, I I I, like, I have other coaches, but, like, my husband is such an integral part of this business because I cannot do it alone. There is no way that I could have turned that home bakery business profitable without him. Sure. And we're gonna see in a different perspective, but also me letting myself hear those things. Let me open to knowledge that other people have. So the process I'm hearing you say is number 1, get your ego out of the way. Yeah. You're eager out of the way.
Yeah. I think you know it. And when do you have it out of the way, then when you go to make a decision, you can realize that your gut isn't necessarily your ego, but it's like that thing inside of you that's like intuition. Intuition. We all have it. Use your intuition. Exactly. Exactly. To know the difference between the ego and the intuition, And then on top of that, surround yourself with people, sometimes they're close to you. Sometimes there are other coaches like you mentioned. Right.
Sometimes both, but that can help you make good decisions. Yeah. And I'm gonna add a 4th as actual implementation. Love it. Like, taking all this stuff and putting it into action because the work and Chaz action is is Yeah. Because if you don't, it's just an idea. It's just a we're just talking about it. Exactly. Okay. So Let's break it down a little bit. Give me an example of a good decision that you made along the way that can be helpful to the listeners today.
Okay. A lot a good decision that I made along the way. There's a lot of them, actually. I know people talk about how many bad decisions they've made. I made plenty of those. I've made I have made good decisions. And are we talking pre 7 figures or post? You could do either. You could do either. I think pre would probably be a little bit more practical, but something along the way that just sticks out of me, and I'm glad I did that. That was a good choice. Yeah. Honestly, it was pre 7 figures.
Gosh. It was pre 7 figures. I hired my first coach Chaz was not my husband. Sure. What what made you wanna do Chaz, though? Obviously, we just talked about your process a little bit, but what made you actually go and do that? Cause you had to spend money to do that. I'm sure. Well, because I knew that I could go further, but I am impatient and I know the value of condensing time if you Chaz.
Yeah. Because you can either take 5 to 10 years to get somewhere or shortcut that time, bringing in people and data knowledge to get there in a much faster time frame. Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. So making a decision to bring in other people and you're encouraging them that even if it's somebody who can shorten the time frame, or shorten their understanding, to be able to speed things up, basically, save them time and money, then that that's a huge benefit that you've seen in your own story.
Absolutely. That's incredible. Okay. Let's flip the script. Bad decision. Give us Chaz. Oh. Shouldn't have done that. Won't do that again. Bad. Yeah. A bad decision is hiring out of desperation. Oh, okay. Give me give us just a little bit on that. Too quick, being overwhelmed and not like, realizing that I wasn't getting the right people on board. Like, I think, as an entrepreneur and business owner, wanna do so much and you get overwhelmed. Sometimes we don't realize it.
And I've made plenty of probably bad hiring decisions because I was overwhelmed and desperate. Sure. Because you were overwhelmed, you were in an emotional state of not confusion, but, like, desperation to your point. And that led you to make a choice maybe a little quicker than maybe you should have, or maybe you didn't go through your formula that you shared with us about how to actually make good decisions about this good.
So hiring people, I I hear several things in there, is that not only don't rush and make bad decisions from desperation, specifically around hiring people. But, also, the caveat to that is that you gotta have good people, right, because you can't do it alone. That's what you were in essence saying. Whether you were before you didn't have the bad person, you were still desperate because you needed the person. But you needed to build a team.
And so building a team is the only way I know how to get to 7 figures because you can't necessarily do it on your own. And I would almost say 98% of the people listening are in a business right now of their own where they cannot get to some figures unless they strategically grow their team. Yeah. Yeah. It really to get to 7 figures, it's in the who, not the how. Absolutely. That's a great book, by the way. Dan Sullivan. Yeah. Okay. Great. We've covered the decisions.
Let's go to our speed round now. I'm gonna hit you with a couple of, punchy questions. I want the one one word if you can, but just short answers. The listener's ready. They got their pen in their notebook, and they're ready to write down their answers. If you could only track one metric for now going until oblivion. Uh-huh. What would it be? This is so good. It would be profit. Profit. Okay. Profit hog. I actually I don't care about the revenue as much as I care about.
What percentage of that is profit? Bottom line, EBITDA, what are you taking home? Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Because you're right. Because you can have a 7 figure business and only a 10% profit, and you're making a $100 Yeah. Or you can have a 6 figure. Let's say you're doing half that 500 k at a 30% and you're gonna be making more money. Right. Yeah. And I, like, for me, it's not worth it it's stressful. It's it's work. Right?
But if it's fun work, but I have to make a certain amount of money for me to wanna keep going. 100%. So yeah. So identify your target as far as a money target. We all have to have money targets. It doesn't make us money, hungry, or or, materialistic, but you in business, you have to have a money target. And so what she's saying is you have to value your time as associated to your money target, and then that is how you build your business.
Not necessarily around the flashiness of, I wanna be 7 figures. Although, yes, in order to typically grow the bottom line, you have to grow the top line. But paying attention to that bottom line, Lauren saying is absolutely key. I love it. Okay. Lauren, what book does a 6 figure owner need to read right now? Yeah. K. I would say high performing habits. It's by Brandon Burchard.
Yeah. That that taught me how to really hone in to my performance and just, yeah, making more out of the time I have in a day. And then you fall short. Like, you walk throughout the week, see you fall short in some areas of my in my creating necessity. Am I really being productive? Sometimes we think we are, and we're not with that book. Is really eye opening. Very good. That's a great recommendation.
Okay. I know this to be true of you already, but do you network intentionally with other math or other owners mastermind with them, and do you pay to do so? Absolutely. Yeah. K. Yeah. You've already tipped on this a little bit with buying a coach and getting around other people, but anything else you wanna throw out there of why you do this? Why? There's so many other people who've been where I wanna go, and I like to shortcut things. I I would love not in a bad way.
I don't wanna I don't wanna cut corners, but I wanna I wanna get to I wanna get to my goals faster. If there's other people that know how to do that that have been there that can share their expertise, then I'm all about it. Yeah. 100%. And and if you've experienced this, which I know we both have. If you've experienced that where you've gone out on a whim, it's a little bit scary.
You invest a little bit of money, and then that person or that program or that mastermind or that that trip, that business conference, whatever it is, it it illuminates just one thing. Yeah. And then you're like, see things differently, or you're able to implement and scale or or grow your team or whatever.
The interesting thing about masterminds and and coaching programs too is there's a lot of stuff that they can that you will have access to, but it could be the 1 or 2 things that click for you that make you a ton of money that end up working. So, yeah, do do you share numbers at all about how much you spend on coaching? It's it's a crazy some time. It it is with salespeople, they I just blow their minds.
That's because when I first started in the coaching space with with a sales program, they're just like, wait. What? I gotta pay somebody, but I did, but I just thought that was normal. But, again, I was a high performing salesperson, but now as an entrepreneur, I think it's a little bit more well known. It's just at the 6 figure mark, it's like, I know I probably should, but I'm scared because I would rather buy something more more practical, quote unquote. Right? Right. Oh, yeah.
But you compare what's practical, really, if you're trying to reach 7 figures. Can I share? Oh, yeah. Please. Please. I love it. We currently so my husband and I currently spend 75 k a year. So $75,000 a year on coaching. But when I started my 1st coach, I spent $10. Yeah. Yep. 100%. I love it. I'm right there with you between programs, masterminds, things that I'm doing, even just for myself, or even within groups. I'm right up there with you in that same range.
I think my 1st year, even just in the coaching space, now I already had multiple seven figure businesses, but my 1st year in the coaching space, I had zero revenue 0 revenue. I had I had a couple clients, but, basically, it was 0. And I spent probably, I don't know, like $25,000 at 1st 6 months on on programs because I'm just I already know how to be successful over here, but I'm not too egotistical to know that I need some help over here.
And so I've been ton of money, especially when you're talking about investments, you need to have no income coming from that stream. And it was, like, 66, 6 figures like that because I was fast forwarded to your point. Yeah. Yep. Exactly. I love that. Okay. Last question. If you lost it all today, there are no more cookies to deck You can't teach anybody to want cookies anymore. No cookies. No. Sugar cookies have been mandated to not exist. Okay. What do you do? Oh, such a great question.
I'm I actually have asked my husband this multiple times because I get a little scared. I'm like, what if all went away? What am I gonna do? They're like, we would just build again. I was like, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. We just build again because guess what? We have the skills. We have the knowledge. We we I would just build something else. Yeah. 100%. It's funny. Did that response just triggers in my brain?
I was twenty four years old looking to buy my 1st franchise a $500,000 purchase, basically, and my buddy is like, dude, what if people stop buying the product? And I go, that would suck first off. Yeah. Yeah. Number 2, I guess I would go back to work as a sales guy because I'm really good at Chaz. And probably pay off the loan, and then I'd probably do it again. You know, like, a little bit of crazy in my eye. Like, that's what you just said. I guess I'd have to do it again. Yeah. Love that.
