This workbook is dedicated to the girl who who feels like she cant.
Darling, you bet your bad ass you can.
You are destined for greatness. I know it.
Based solely on the fact that this workbook found you, I know you are incredible. I dont have to second guess it (even if you doubt yourself sometimes).
The universe aligned with your souls mission and brought you here. And now, you are holding this workbook in your hands, absorbing the energetic possibility available to you in life and in business. With all of my heart, I want you to dream big. Big is what you deserve.
I know that, when you started out on your business journey, there may have been a bit of doubt in your soul.
Can I do this? Is this really possible for me?
Heres what I say: The Universe would not give you the desire if it wasnt possible.
You have that hunger and desire to do something big, babe.
There is something calling you to achieve incredible, magical things. Maybe its a whisper in your heart that tells you there is a life out there for you much bigger than the one you are living now. Maybe there is a fire in your soul telling you that you were put on this planet to make a difference in the world and help others. Maybe you feel in the pit of your stomach that the life you are living is too small, too unsatisfying, to serve your purpose on this planet.
You are ready to hear the voice inside that is telling you to live a life of purpose, with purpose. As you turn the pages of this workbook, Im going to take you on a journey to transform your business and your soul. As your coach, I will guide you as you discover or rediscover your worth, redefine success, and remove the limitations holding you back from achieving financial freedom. Exciting, I know, right?
I believe that impending success leaves clues for us to follow on our way to achieving our desired result. I am excited to share those clues with you.
The key to my own abundance is my purpose: helping others find abundance as I have.
While designing this workbook, I felt called to share my personal secrets to journaling and manifesting. I wanted this book to stand out amongst the others on the market. I wanted it to be a deep reflection of YOU: original, vibrant, an individual.
Each page of this book has its own unique layout, created with love. Our amazing graphic designer, Jacqueline Joseph, poured her heart into this book. She turned a simple idea into a gorgeous creative experience for you. Thank you, Jacqueline!
Throughout the book, youll also find inspirational coloring pages created by our illustrator, BriAnne Larsen. Her lofty, feminine illustrations will provide opportunity to reflect through coloring meditation practice. These illustrations are carefully placed within the book to allow you to sink into a deep meditative state after heavy self-reflection exercises. I invite you to fill the blank illustrations with vibrant colors. Take your time. Let your creative energy flow onto the page. At the end of the book, youll find copies of each coloring page. Feel free to tear them out and hang them on the walls of your home for inspiration.
Before you turn the page, I ask that you keep the below in mind throughout the process of creating abundance:
1. Remember that every detail of this workbook was placed with intention. If you find yourself feeling disconnected from a question or struggling to understand a journal prompt, do not evaluate and judge yourself or grow frustrated; just work through it.
2. Know that you are doing significant work within your soul even when you are struggling to put pen to paper.
3. Journaling, when done correctly, is a deep form of meditation. Do not judge your practice.
4. There is no wrong way to fill out this workbook. You can navigate each section quarterly a business, there is no one right way to get what you want in life. Everyone travels a journey all their own, so listen to your soul and do what feels right.
5. I am with you every step of the way. You are very much supported here in this space of transformation. I want you to feel safe and secure in your expansion as you grow. Even when it feels scary, know that you are safe. There is a community of women, each of whom is growing herself, here to support and encourage you within a safe space. When you feel ready, join the free tribe to get direct support from me and the community at: badassbusinessbabe.com/facebook
6. Take a moment to embrace the fear that I talked about earlier in this letter to you. I know that fear all too well, and the way it feels to take big leaps. As I write these pages, I can STILL hear that little voice questioning my own skill and worth. The voice is softer now, after the work I have done, and Im sure yours will quiet down, too; but know that you are not alone in your fear.

No matter the level at which you are playing, doubt is pervasive. You may question your ability to run a business that you would define as successful. You may wonder whether you can really monetize your passion. You may even wonder, Who am I to make six figures?
I asked myself, when I was just beginning, What if I go for this and fail?
To quote a short poem by Australian writer Erin Hanson, Oh but my darling, what if you fly?
I think its important that I share my journey with you before you dive into this book. After all, how could you feel truly comfortable trusting me if you dont know anything about how I ended up here writing this book for you?
I am Lauren Eliz Love, the founder of the brand Badass Business Babe and the CEO of a multiple-six-figure coaching business. I teach aspiring entrepreneurs how to make money.
Why do I do it? Because back when I started my journey as an entrepreneur, I had no effing clue how to make it happen. And that totally sucked.
Back in 2015, I was a broadcast news producer working the overnight shift. I produced television news from midnight to nine oclock in the morning. And all the while, I felt this fire in my soul. I wanted to do something big with my life. I wanted to write books, to speak to crowds, to help people. I could see myself building a website and designing courses that would help women all over the world to overcome the tough shit theyd been through and go on to live the lives they wanted for themselves.
I had been through some serious tough shit myself: rape, depression, alcoholism, anxiety, trauma, broke-as-a-joke living, marriage to a drug addict. (The details are for a later book.) Like many other life business babes who become life coaches, I had been through so much in my life that I felt called to help other women navigate theirs.
I decided to abandon the corporate job Id held for five years. I jumped right into running my own business with no backup plan. And I went broke.
I pulled all of my 401K money to grow my business and lost all of it. I put all of my shit in storage. I slept on a mattress on the floor of my boyfriends parents house for a year. (We made sacrifices, for sure.)
Eventually, I figured it out. Today, as I write this (2018) Badass Business is a 40K/month business. Now its your turn to grow them empire!
