It’s been a couple of days since I launched my new teleseminar series, “6 Figure Wedding Planner System.” The BONUS for participants is a free ticket to my event, Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE March 15, 16 and 17 in San Diego, California. The response has been amazing and I want to thank you all.
Last month I met so many amazing wedding planners from around the world while I was speaking at both the Association of Bridal Consultants Conference in Indianapolis and the Wedding Planner’s Institute of Canada Conference in Turks & Caicos.
I heard a lot of the same comments over and over again:
“I’m ready to take my business to the next level. What do I do next?”
“I know that I have what it takes to leap, will you help me?”
“When all this economic stuff happened I pulled back and I’ve realized that now is the time to become the leader of my marketplace, not pull back, how can I shift my business?”
“I want to have a career as a full time planner and I know it’s possible now.”
“It’s time to raise my prices and charge what I’m worth but I know that my marketing has to change to reflect my new level.”
And that’s why I created “6 Figure Wedding Planner System.” With the time I’ve dedicated to guiding the participants through my templates and exercises I know that the strategies they’ll implement can have a real impact on their businesses. AND that they are the kind of wedding planners I want to work with at my LIVE event, Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2010 and that’s why I am gifting each of them with a free ticket to attend.
Yes! It’s happening again. This time it’s taking place in San Diego, California on March 15, 16 and 17. The tickets will sell for $997 and we’ve opened the door for ticket sales, aka it’s free when you register for “6 Figure Wedding Planner System.” I want you to be a step ahead when you walk into Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE and that’s why I’m providing you with a ticket as a bonus when you become a participant of “6 Figure Wedding Planner System.”
But if you’d rather just pay full price for the Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE ticket you can do that too. This deal won’t last forever so give yourself the best holiday gift this year, a plan for your business in 2010.
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara
While I’m still recovering from my whirlwind speaker circuit I’m off to my old high school, Strathcona Tweedsmuir School to speak again. This time the presentation is much shorter but just as important. I’m speaking to grade 11 students about choosing a career as an entrepreneur.
You see, they’re all asking themselves, “What do I want to be when I grow up?”
When you’re trying to decide what you want to do with your life and how you want to invest your time it’s important to hear from experts who have gone through experiences in that field or endeavor. They can shed some light on what you can expect. It’s even better when they can tell you what to avoid and what to concentrate on… you can save yourself a lot of costly mistakes.
(Believe me I wish I’d had someone tell me, hey kid, don’t take that computer programming university class, can’t you see you were meant to be a wedding planner?)
But just as I’m sharing my knowledge of being an entrepreneur with the future leaders of our world, I’m sharing my knowledge with you too. I want you to learn from my tragedies and triumphs on the road to becoming a 6 figure wedding planner. That’s what I want you to sign up for my free teleseminar “6 Figure Wedding Planner Secrets” by clicking here.
It’s happening on Monday, November 23rd and with all the speaking I’ve been doing lately we already have over 300 wedding planners registered to be on the call. We don’t have a lot of lines left but I really think it’s important that you’re on this call… it’s going to mean a lot to your business growth in the next 12 months.
It’s not too late- click here.
I just returned home from Turks & Caicos where I spoke to 150 wedding planners at the Wedding Planner’s Institute of Canada. Last week I was in Indianapolis at the Association of Bridal Consultants Conference where I spoke to 300 wedding planners. When I spoke to each of these groups I described some of the strategies I used to take my business to making 6 figures in just 3 years. But it just wasn’t enough time for me to share all I wanted to with these groups so I’m hosting a free teleseminar on Monday November 23rd @ 2pm MST called, “6 Figure Wedding Planner Secrets.” Click here to sign up.
Even if you weren’t at either of these conferences I would like to give you a chance to learn some of my secrets too. I am on a mission to change the wedding planning industry and help more and more wedding planners charge what they’re worth. We’re never going to be taken seriously if we keep charging $400 for wedding day coordination.
One of the things that I really stressed to the attendees at both of these conferences is that it truly is possible to be a full time wedding planner. In fact, both my husband and I work full time in our business. AND it’s possible to continue to grow and evolve your business no matter what level you’re at. That’s why I want you to be on my call, “6 Figure Wedding Planner Secrets,” to give your business a boost as we head into 2010.
I also just wanted to share with you this great picture of 3 of my Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends, Wanda Graham, Alice Goetschel, Tonya Shadoan and me in Indy. These ladies are rising to the top so quickly!

I had the pleasure of sharing my story with 300 wedding planners this past week at the Fall in Love with Indy Association of Bridal Consultants conference.
Tonya Shadoan, a member of my elite mastermind group for wedding planners did such a great job of designing the enchanted woodland lunch (complete with a scent machine!) that I spoke at. The atmosphere and the energy of everyone in the room were absolutely amazing!
I just wanted to share these pictures with you quickly, as I am off to Turks and Caicos in less than 24 hours for another speaking engagement. Hope you enjoy!
I’m really excited because I have a jam packed couple of weeks coming up and it is going to ROCK! First I’ve got 3 events this weekend. My brilliant team has everything under control and these weddings are going to be amazing for our clients.
Then I head off to Indianapolis for the Association of Bridal Consultants Conference. I’m speaking at the Tuesday lunch to everyone in attendance. I can’t wait to share with them how I grew my business to six figures in just 4 years. If you want the updates of what’s going on in Indy while I’m there my fellow wedding tweeters and I have created the twitter hashtag #ABCIndy. So if you go to search for that on twitter you’ll see all our updates. And if you’re going to be there make sure you use that hashtag when you give your updates too so we can see what you’re learning.
We’re also having a tweetup in the Hyatt Level One Lounge on Monday night after the off site event. Look for me @simon_daykin @QOHweddings and @aliphillips and many more!
Then after ABC I’m headed home for a couple of days and then off again to Turks and Caicos to speak at the Wedding Planner Institute of Canada’s conference there. I’m excited to finally meet my twitter buddy @sparkliatti (aka Sasha Souza) who is the keynote speaker.
And when I get home I’ve got something BIG in store for you. I’m just going to give you a hint about it right now that it’s something that could change next year entirely for you. I’ll give you the details as soon as I can!
P.S. Some of you have been asking when is Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE happening? Don’t worry- I’m going to reveal the location and all the details soon but for now, Save the Date March 15, 16 and 17 2010! You won’t have to wait much longer!
I’m writing to remind you about my free teleseminar that’s happening on Monday September 28th at 2pm MST/ 4pm EST called “5 Ways to Renovate Your Wedding Planning Business and Earn More Money Without Exhaustion, Frustration and Worry.”
When I saw the economy getting funky I knew that I needed to renovate my business to prepare for the storm and I did just that and my business has continued to grow and prosper while I see many others going out of business. I count my blessings that in September alone I’ve signed not one, not two, but three… YES 3, $10,000+ wedding planning clients. And while others have been shutting their doors, I’ve been opening new ones by expanding into the Los Angeles market and we already have clients coming on board with us. I’ve doubled what I made over the entire last year except this year I’ve done it from January- September. I still have 3 more months to go!
And I want to show you the 5 steps I’ve taken to renovate my business, get back to basics and make a big impact in wedding planning.
This call is my gift to you and completely free. All you need to do is CLICK HERE to sign up and you’ll receive the call in information. But hurry, we have limited lines available for this call AND THERE IS NO RECORDING. So you need to be on this call LIVE to hear my business renovating success tips.
See you on the call!
Love,
Ciara
I just wanted to give you an update on what’s going on here at Rockstar Wedding Planner.
You see… everything’s changed.
I’ve been receiving a lot of emails and phone calls about our programs. The information that I’ve been sharing with wedding planners is really working. Despite this “interesting” economy wedding planners are finding success by educating themselves about growing their business through sales, marketing and mindset. I’ve realized that I’ve been blessed with a special gift and I need to share it with as many people as possible. When wedding planners apply what I’ve been teaching them to their businesses everything changes for them. They increase their income, the amount of time they’re able to spend with their family, and their confidence. That’s why I’m making my programs and products more accessible to more wedding planners.
That’s why I want you to join me on a special free call “5 Ways to Renovate Your Wedding Planning Business and Earn More Money Without Exhaustion, Frustration and Worry” on Monday September 28th 2009 @ 2pm MST/ 4pm EST. In this call I’m going to review 5 ways you can make adjustments in your business that really work to increase your income. I know it’s tough out there and that’s why I want you to click here and join me on this special call.
I’ll see you on the call!
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara Daykin
By the time you are reading this I’ll be well on my way to my uncle’s fishing lodge in British Columbia. Simon and I are off with our dogs Kohl and Chayse to celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary and relax without cell phones or the internet for a whole week! I’m super lucky that I have a great team to support me while I’m gone. And I’m just in a good mood all around, 4 years of marriage will do that to a girl! *blush* That’s why I’m throwing the good vibes your way by having a sale. I’ve bundled up the past “Become A Rockstar Wedding Planner” calls because a lot of the calls are just better when you combine the knowledge contained in them. So in honor of my 4 year wedding anniversary just click here and put in the coupon code 4YEARS and you’ll receive 40% off of these great bundles. Oooo AND you can get 40% off the Rise to Fame System using that same code which is SUPER exciting! But, I’m back Thursday August 7th and the sale ends at 11:59am MST that day so don’t miss out.
I know, I know… we’ve lost touch. But I want to reconnect with you and let you know what’s been going on with me. 
I was away in Grand Cayman at Engage 09, a luxury wedding business summit. I’m so glad I made this trip because I met amazing people like Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings, Sylvia Weinstock the famous wedding cake designer, Abby Larson of StyleMePretty.com and of course the host Rebecca Grinnals of Weddex and so many more. If you want to check out pictures and commentary from the event just click here to visit my newly redesigned blog (see I told you I’ve been busy).
On a personal note before we left my littlest dog Chayse took very, very ill. The vet thought he was going to die and he’s only 4 years old and the worst of it was that they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. For those of you pet owners you know how hard an experience this can be. I spent a lot of time in the vet hospital with him. But we prayed like crazy for our little guy and thankfully Chayse miraculously recovered (to this day they still don’t know what he had), and we have our little guy home again. His brother Kohl was very glad to have him home!
We also lost my husband Simon’s Gramma just the other day so we’ll be going to the funeral in Toronto next week. She was 93 and an amazing woman. We were so lucky that both she and my Gramma (who has since passed as well) were able to attend our wedding. 4 years ago.
I think that at times of adversity and life’s ups and downs, I’m happier than ever to have my own business. Because I can make time to focus on the important elements of my life when I need to. At a regular job taking time off to care for my sick dog probably wouldn’t fly too well.
It’s also amazing to have an opportunity to be creative everyday. This weekend we’re off to do a Midsummer Night’s Dream themed wedding, and also a pro bono wedding for a couple that had been living in a shelter.
So now that you know what’s up with me, I’d love to hear what’s going on with you and the areas that you need help with in your business. Please send your burning questions to questions@rockstarweddingplanner.com and I will answer them here or in our ezine. Just give us your name, your location and your website address if you’re comfortable with sharing, if not, please sign your question “Anonymous” and we won’t share your information.
