Laura–You ALWAYS manage to come across so sincere and real in EVERYTHING you do…that’s why I keep coming back for more!
What a crazy story–Just like EPW wrote, I am more intimidated by your age than anything because you have done so much in such a short time! I see it as your little secret weapon. You are a FORCE for sure!
As for me, I have tons of fears in business and I am going to take a good look at them and ask myself “What would I do if they came true?” …and I think the answer would most likely be, “I would get up and keep going!” ok, maybe after a good cry
Thanks for the great reminder, Laura!

In response to Amy’s comment about why she keeps coming back to Laura for more, I might add this. I keep coming back to Laura because, among other things like what Amy so well mentioned, Laura is so pretty (and that especially without being made-up or masked-up with makeup) — and she calls me ”good-looking”– along with the rest of you too — which evidences a very positive attribute about her. She says encouraging, positive things in a sincere and uplifting way about people (and even if she’s just joking in some cases, it’s a fun joke intended to uplift which, yeah-yeah, it does).
And, she likes Lindy Hop — and if you don’t know about that, you’re missing something great to watch or do (http://B.BBWW.org)

Hi Laura!
Thanks so much for sharing. I have the exact same problem. I look younger than my age, some people tend to not take me as seriously, whether in business or just in my personal life.
One time, I was helping a friend start out with her jewelry biz. We both looked young for our age, and none of the suppliers would talk to us. They thought we were high school seniors, when in reality, we’d been out of college for YEARS!
We still have that problem now, but we’ve just learned how to work with it. And honestly? It’s not that bad once you make it known that you know your stuff. Besides, who doesn’t want to look young!

Hey Laura! I just watched this and the funny thing is I just tweeted about meeting you and Christine at that eWN event. How bizarre is that?
Anyway, I wanted to let you know my impressions of you at that event. My impression had nothing to do with your age. My impression was how smart, dynamic, outgoing, extroverted and personable you were.
We sat together in Loral’s session, where you introduced yourself to Christine (I had no clue who she was Lol) and I thought, wow she is super outgoing to approach people like you did.
And again at the wisdom circle where I was blown away by your feedback.
Your age is not and was not a barrier to your success because your maturity, professionalism and skill level is what everyone sees first. You are amazing, and the fact that you are young makes it that much better because if you are amazing now, just imagine what you will be like in your 30s? I can’t wait to see it!
Meeting you, getting to know you, being in touch with you was one of the best take aways from that event for me, so cheers to you for being young and great!

Every body understands that today’s life seems to be not very cheap, nevertheless different people require cash for different stuff and not every person gets big sums cash. Therefore to get fast loans and just short term loan would be a correct way out.

Thank You so very much Laura.
I agree with everyone else. You are completely genuine and sincere. You take the time to respond to private emails, and you’re just an amazing gem, and BTW – I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THIS today!!
I have the exact same concern – I am 24 and I’m often wondering about whether I should do my hair to make me look older (I only look about 18 according to some) :S but I completely agree with your take on it – to think abut whether or not the worst is ‘really so bad’.
Well, if they’re saying stuff behind you’re back, then so be it. It’s fine. They will anyway!
And, you do look young Laura, but it’s an appealing thing to me (you’re gorgeous) but also happy and confident just being yourself. Trying to look and sound older would really just turn me off.\
Thanks once again Laura.
much love and blessings,
Renee.
