Just breathe... I've been there too.

What I'm about to share with you will:

• Change your business  (from making pennies per hour to thousands)

• Triple your income  (just imagine the vacation you'll be able to take)

• Give you more time  (enough already! You don't need to work 80 work weeks!)

• Create a new client base  (people who will happily buy from you)

• Give you peace of mind  (take a bath, relax with a glass of wine. Don't you deserve it?)

I know what you're going through because I used to be there. When I first launched my business I was working a full time 40 hour/ week job and planning weddings. Plus I'd just gotten married, I was training my 2 new little bichon shih tzu puppies and I was EXHAUSTED! I really didn't have time for much of anything to be honest.

I would cry and cry to my husband asking him why it was sooo hard to do what I loved. I didn't want to work at my corporate job I wanted to plan weddings and work from home. But instead, I was spending more time away from home than ever before.

So I came up with this idea... I thought, I'm brilliant. This will solve everything. I went into my corporate job and I quit! Seriously... just like that, I quit! They thought I was crazy. "What are you going to do now?" Are you ready for my answer?

"I'm going to go into selling real estate so that I can make big money and be able to grow my wedding planning business. And I'll do all of this from home."

Looking back I now think... oh girl, you had SERIOUS problems. What I soon discovered is that real estate was NOT my thing despite coming from a long line of family realtors. It did NOT give me more time or money to grow my wedding planning business. In fact, my business was getting less of my attention than ever before. Now my tears were over having no income and not 1, but 2 floundering businesses.

So tail between my legs, I went back to my corporate job and asked for my job back (believe me... they didn't look surprised). And so there I was... back working for "the man."

AHHHH!!! Even thinking about it makes me feel sick. My thinking was sooo backwards!

AND, the worst part... I didn't quit real estate right away... I listed a house, I was planning 5 weddings, AND I had my corporate job. Talk about exhaustion!!

It was absolutely the craziest time of my life. I was worn out, beat down, depressed, gaining weight from my on the run fast food meals, and I didn't know how to get help. It was like I was watching this crazy woman (who was me) trying to be everything to everyone and she was being utterly useless but I didn't know how to stop her.

So one day, I'm sitting at my desk and an email for a sales and marketing bootcamp comes into my inbox and I think.... I have to do this. I have to get help from somewhere.

I went to the bootcamp and there I met a mentor who opened my eyes to a world of fabulous possibilities. And the first thing she said to me was...

"Ciara, you're not an expert in anything.
You're spreading yourself so thin, how can you be?"

Well of course that was the truth but it didn't stop my heart from sinking into my stomach... meanwhile my cell phone is vibrating like crazy with other realtors wanting to show my listing, my brides calling asking where the information I promised was, and my job calling to see where a certain file was.

At that moment I turned off my cell phone and my heart said to my head... "This HAS to STOP."

And it did... a peace came over me I'd never experienced before. I left that bootcamp knowing that I had to find a different path to reach my dream career, MY DREAM LIFE

The Path Began To Show Itself

The sales and marketing bootcamp I attended really showed me that despite having a university degree in Communications I really didn't know anything about marketing and sales. Especially, online sales.

My quest began. I realized that if I wanted to be THE wedding planner I knew that I could be then I was going to have to invest the time, money and energy to clear the path to my dream life.

I had to get smarter about how I was going to run my business.

What did I do?

• Invested in personal development

• I stopped doing real estate- I HATED IT!!

• I carved back the time at my corporate job and eventually turned it into another income stream that didn't take as much time

• Focused on growing my company with the right clients and said no to the wrong ones

Because really, think about it....why are you a wedding planner??

You LOOOVVEEE it! You love the crying bride, the memory making, the insightful planning, the chaos that you organize, the sincere "thank- you" during the speeches.... But if you're how I was back then you're NOT feeling the love right now.

You're probably overwhelmed with all the tasks on your to do list:

• You've got to find a venue for one client (and she hates everything)

• Another client hasn't gotten her photo proofs so you have to track down her photographer (arrghh!! Isn't that sooo annoying?)

• The receipts are piling up and you need to balance your books

• You have a new client meeting you need to prepare for

• You're chasing brides for their deposits and final payments

• You're starting to feel the cash flow crunch

Not to mention all your personal to do's like:

• Making a costume for your child (you thought you could sew but can't)

• Cleaning your house (and you know you hate that)

• Grocery shopping (chips and pop are your staple on-the-go food right now aren't they?)

• Getting a gift for your friend's birthday (you think, "what can I buy at the grocery store so I can save time" – reeeaaalll thoughtful!)

• Exercising (when was the last time you did that?)

• Going to the movies (hahahha the idea of finding time to do this would be funny if it wasn't sooo sooo sad)

• Having a relationship with your love interest (when was the last time you had dinner without checking your "crackberry??")

• And getting that pedicure you've been waiting the last 3 months for (thank God your brides don't see your feet!)

You know you're talented, you're bringing high quality services to your brides and you're not being paid even close to what you deserve and it's getting you waaayyyy down.

But before you quit and jump back into that corporate job you hated so much, you need to stop and ask yourself, what can I do to turn this around to make my dream come true???

And that's where I come in with my program...
 

"Become a Rockstar Wedding Planner"

You don't have to be on your own anymore, make expensive mistakes, spin your wheels in the wrong area, not spend time with your family and friends, and have a general terrible quality of life.

You're swamped with work and I get it.

Well all that has to STOP!

Here's a secret that all successful international wedding planners know, if you're spending so much time working IN your business that you have no time left to work ON your business.

What Do You Need To Do Instead?

• You need to start investing in yourself to gain the knowledge to free up your time. 

• You need to learn that working on your business is where your time should be spent.

"So Ciara, You're Telling Me This But What's The Difference?"

Okay, here's the deal. Working IN your business is working on things that don't make you money, don't get you media attention, and don't give you anytime to yourself.

Working ON your business is making time to spend on your marketing, getting media attention, attracting higher end clients. Working ON your business makes you money and gives you a fun, rockstar life!

"Yeah but I need to do those things to
keep my business going and keep my customers."

Yes, I understand, it's a delicate combination. But what attracts more business to you is working ON your business. Because most wedding planners spend their time IN their business spinning their wheels and they're broke.

As Dr. Phil would say, "How's That Working For You?"

Instead you need to be smarter about the time you spend IN your business and spend way more time working ON your business (and let me tell you with great confidence that your bank account is going to thank you, and so will your family)

I made this attitude switch and I've never been happier.  But it took me a long time to get to this point because I had to figure out how to take what I was learning from various sales and marketing experts and apply it to a wedding planning business.

The wedding planning industry is so bizarre:

• We don't have repeat customers (at least we hope not)

• Our services don't make or break someone's livelihood

• We are a luxury item

• And any former bride who loved planning their own wedding can claim to be a wedding planner and steal our customers

So how can you take your wedding planning company to new heights of money earning potential? (and have fun at the same time!)

Here's the fun part... you're going to be able to put as much creativity into your business as you do your weddings. It doesn't have to be a scary and torturous process.

I used sales and marketing techniques which were geared at business coaches and I twisted them to work for my business model.

In fact, I haven't just spent thousands of hours on my personal development.  I've also spent thousands in these areas:

• $19,000/yr – Platinum Mastermind Group
• $7,000/yr – one on one weekly sales coaching
• $1,200 – marketing guides
• $200/mth – sales training
• $6,000 – yearly marketing conferences

Last year I spent $35,600. And you know what, I'd do it all over again. I took this $35,600 worth of knowledge and I earned it all back by attracting $40,000 in 2 weeks.

How?

Let me tell you:

• I made $10,000 when I was on vacation in Australia

• I launched my new wedding planning programs and attracted 5 new customers immediately

• I sold a $7,500 wedding client in 10 minutes (this is my all time record)

• I booked a client for $15,000 who's taking me to the Bahamas for their wedding (and the trip expenses are not included in the $15,000! Woohoo!)
   

I AM a Rockstar Wedding Planner!

And You Can Be Too!

Don't Worry!  You Don't Have To Go Broke To Be Successful

No, you don't have to spend $40K to get to where I'm at.

I was lucky enough to have the financial resources to invest that much in myself.  But the good news is that because I have, you don't have to.

In fact, I've developed a coaching program to share all of my Rockstar Wedding Planner secrets with you! (it's a step by step affordable program that's a 100% write off for your business and you pay a fraction of the cost that I did to learn it).

In my entry level coaching program, "Become A RockStar Wedding Planner" you'll gain access to the knowledge that I've accumulated. (the coffee shop is where the big rockstars get their start)
