New Shoes Aren’t the Only Things That Can Be a Girls’ Best Friend

By on March 3, 2010 in Blog, Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE

shoesDo you have a hankering for a new pair of shoes, a splashy pair of pumps with heels oh so high? If you’re feeling just so- so about your wedding planning business buying a new pair of shoes can make you feel oh so much better about things… at least for a little while. We tend to buy material things to mask our feelings and cheer us up but that feeling only lasts for a short time (even shorter if your heel breaks in a storm grate!) So my suggestion is to spend those hard earned wedding planning dollars on something that will give you more than a moment’s euphoria. You need to invest in strategies that will help you bring in brides to your business over and over again rather than banking it all on those snazzy red pumps making a great impression.

Instead of spending $79.70 on a new pair of shoes why not invest that in our 10 month payment plan to attend Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE? The tips about getting press and media exposure that special guests, Stacey Johnes and Regina Novickis are going to provide at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE are worth so much more than $79.70 a month…

staceyWith more than 15 years of expertise in consumer product marketing, Stacey Johnes has a history of striving to execute the most dynamic client campaigns possible, garnering the results that are expected from clients and beyond. As a co-founder of Media Tonic Communications, she and her business partner have been able to further direct their energies into developing some of the most vibrant companies — including their own — unfettered by creative restrictions and old guard beliefs.

Formerly a vice president at Edelman Worldwide’s Los Angeles office, Johnes has led public relations initiatives for some of the countries most recognized brands including Nissan/Infiniti, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment and the National Association of Broadcasters. Johnes also led the Launch/Brand team for the worldwide introduction of Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console, one of the most successful product introductions of the last decade.

Regina Novickis, co-founder of Media Tonic Communications, is a seasoned public relations professional with more than eleven years of experience managingregina brand positioning, public relations and media relations efforts on behalf of consumer/entertainment clients. She is the client manager for some of the firm’s most important relationships such as Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment.

Stacey & Regina at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE will discuss …

As a planner you want media exposure so brides and industry can view you as the expert. But how do you get in the door with your pitch? How do you even create a pitch? At Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE you’ll learn:

  • What makes the wedding media sit up and take notice
  • How to leverage the PR you’ve gotten in the past
  • Where to look for press now that so many bridal magazines are shutting their doors
  • Unique angles you can take with the press to make you stand out

These 2 are phenomenal!! One of our other speakers, JJ Virgin, is a client of theirs and I opened up an OK Magazine on the airplane and saw that she was quoted as an expert in the pages. These 2 know how to get you publicity and they are not to be missed at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE.

So you can take your $79.70 and invest in a new pair of shoes (and potentially new blisters!) or you can invest in a true solution for your business, the strategies and “done for you” toolkit you’ll receive at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE.

Love and wedding planning success,

A word from Simon about tomorrow’s teleseminar

By on January 19, 2010 in Blog, Coaching

It’s Simon Daykin, husband and business partner to Rockstar Wedding Planner, Ciara Daykin. I wanted to write you to make sure you were aware of the free teleseminar Ciara is doing tomorrow, called “11 Rockstar Wedding Planner Strategies to Bring More Brides Through Your Door In 2010 that Your Competition Doesn’t Want You To Know About.”

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.”

Ciara and Simon at Bridal FairIn 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.

So what are you waiting for? Click here now to sign up for tomorrow’s free call. Even if the date/time doesn’t work for you, we’ll be recording the call. But you have to register to receive the recording.

Are you ever terrified? Don’t let it hold you back!

By on January 18, 2010 in Blog, Coaching

By Ciara Daykin

When I launched Rockstar Wedding Planner 2 years ago I was terrified. I was so nervous what you would think of me and I was afraid of failing. That’s just the way I felt when I launched my wedding planning company 5 years ago- what would brides think? Would they actually hire me?

FEAR

It stops a lot of us dead in our tracks. But I’m sure glad I didn’t let it stop me because every time I’ve taken a leap out of my comfort zone and into something new wonderful, amazing, prosperous things have happened for me.

I’m sure you probably felt the same way when launching your company or contemplating a big move in your business or life. Maybe you’re at a crossroads right now considering your next big move and fear has got you paralyzed. Well I’m about to make another big leap and I hope it inspires you. I’m launching the details for Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE on Wednesday, January 20 at 6:00pm MST AND I’m sharing with you 11 strategies that I utilized to leap further and bigger in my business.

If you’ve ever been at a crossroads- wanting to make a big move forward but afraid of what that could mean yet knowing that you won’t be happy if you back track or stay where you are- then I want you to be on this call. I’m going to share very candidedly with you how these 11 strategies have been a part of my journey over the last 5 years to creating a multiple 6 figure business with a full staff and 2 locations. This will also give you a taste of what to expect at my upcoming event, Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE.

There’s going to be a lot of great information on this call that you can take and implement right away into your business. Here is the link to sign up.

So am I nervous to tell you about Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE and share with you some of the integral strategies I’ve used to grow my business? Heck ya! But overcoming the fear is a big part of leaping forward so I wouldn’t have it any other way and I wouldn’t want to share this journey with anyone but you.

I hope you’ll join me!
