That’s great news for those of us running our own wedding planning businesses. The sky is the limit! You just have to make strategic choices that fit your goals.

Sy and I are thrilled with the new nanny we hired for Declan. With an extra set of hands (and eyes) around I’m able to still be the mother I want to be for him…and show him as he grows up how mommies can be incredibly successful at the same time!

I feel so blessed to have designed my life to be the way it is now. But it wasn’t always like this…

At first I struggled quite a bit. Then I discovered there were specific steps to take to become a high end wedding planner.

If you’d like to step into YOUR greatness planning weddings for high end brides I invite you to watch this video by one of my alumni as she talks about the free 5 week video training course I am putting on, called How to Set-up Your High-End Wedding Business. A few of my friends share their experiences too. Don’t be left out. Sign up for video access now. You don’t want to miss this! Click here to watch the video and sign up for the video series.

Love and wedding planning success,

Well he’s arrived! On July 14th at 1:55pm Declan Rhys Glendon Daykin was born and Simon and I couldn’t be happier. My little sweetheart is sitting on my lap as I type this letter to you. He’s so fun but definitely an adjustment. Hats off to all you mompreneurs out there. It’s not easy to have a baby and run a business that’s for sure! But I’m learning as I go and I’ll be sure to share what works for me and what doesn’t as I go along.
 
Today is also my 5 year wedding anniversary with Simon. A lot has happened in the last 5 years. It was when we were planning our wedding that I was inspired to begin my wedding planning business and we’re now in our 6th year of business and both working for the company. It’s pretty cool to look back and see the milestones of our business stack up. I’m excited to reach new highs as this year continues.
 
I’ve been singing Declan songs to help him fall asleep. As a big fan of musicals a lot of our lullabies are from shows and movies I watched as a kid. I’ve been singing him “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music and it made me think about what my favorite things as a wedding planner are. Plus with Declan being here I really have to say there are certain things in my business that I’m realizing I just couldn’t run it without, especially with this little baby sleeping on my lap most of the time!
 
Stay tuned in next week for my list of favorite things… 

Love and wedding planning success,

Every time Ciara announces that she’s sharing wedding planner business building information-having a teleseminar, speaking at an event, or putting on her own event- our inbox is absolutely flooded with people wanting more information.

Why?

Because they know that the information Ciara provides totally rocks. Because they’ve experienced it and so have I.

When Ciara started this business 5 years ago I was supportive but there is no way I ever thought that not only would she be working full time as a wedding planner but so would I! That we’d have a staff, office space, travel around the world researching cool event ideas, and that Ciara would be sharing how she grew this business to this level with other wedding planners.

No but seriously, that part took some getting used to. At first I didn’t understand why Ciara would so openly share her business ideas with other planners (and not even just planners on the other side of the country, but her direct competition!) But Ciara said to me that in order to receive you have to give. And I’ve seen this be true for her over and over. That’s why I’m fully supporting her tomorrow on her free teleseminar, “11 Rockstar Wedding Planner Strategies to Bring More Brides Through Your Door In 2010 that Your Competition Doesn’t Want You To Know About.”

In fact, I’m even going to be on the call. Because I really want you to understand how these strategies have changed our life and how they can change yours too if you give them a chance.

I also know that Ciara has been working really hard on the content for Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE, securing the special guests, fun activities for the attendees and that she’s going to share all the details with you on this call. Plus she’s going to tell you how you can get a special bonus for being on the call.
