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.

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.

Simon Daykin joins The Man Registry’s panel of experts
Here’s an example of the type of Q/A advice Simon will be sharing with our readers:
Question- Who do we invite to the rehearsal dinner?
Simon: Traditionally you invite the families, ushers, groomsmen and bridesmaids. I’m finding that these days that guest list is much, much larger. Invite only the necessary people to the ceremony rehearsal but think about inviting all your guests to the dinner, you don’t have to pick up their tabs or buy their booze. I suggest picking up the tabs for the people who attend the ceremony rehearsal but not the rest of the guests. This will give the guests a chance to meet each other before the reception. This will take away any awkward moments at the dinner table the next day because they have a chance to meet, chat and share a cocktail or two. I have heard from numerous guests that they love a pre party before the reception on the big day.

A lot of you are gearing up for the Memorial Day weekend if you live in the US and in other parts of the world you’re enjoying that we’re well on our way into summer. This weekend is a traditional time to get the garden planted and fire up the BBQ’s.
But will you be making m0ney this weekend?
You probably don’t want to work this weekend if you’re not already, and there’s no time to book an event gig…. But what if you could make m0ney while you’re enjoying sunshine, burgers, friends and family??
This is totally possible if you have a system in place to generate passive income.
Affiliate programs are a great way to make m0ney by leveraging someone else’s product. By simply placing a link on your site, twittering or sending out an email, you can drive brides to websites that will be of interest to them. They purchase a product and you get affiliate commission.
And if you set up your affiliate income generating strategy on an automatic system then you could come back Monday to an inbox full of sales!
Pretty cool eh?

"When I joined Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends I realized the importance of being seen as an expert by brides, grooms and vendors. Being a part of this group I was inspired to write and publish my own book, "The Simply Elegant Wedding Planner" to highlight my expertise as a wedding planner, which is now sold online and by local vendors."
