I’ve been really busy lately! We started up the new 6 Figure Wedding Planner Club with 2 levels- Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends and Rockstar Wedding Planner Hall of Famers. These planners are such amazing p
eople and I’m having so much fun coaching them to grow their businesses. We’re having our first retreat in May in Canada and I can’t wait to get them all together for powerful in person masterminding!
As you know I’m also expecting a little boy in July. For a lot of planners baby means a hiatus when it comes to growing the business. But instead for me it was a sign that I needed more help so that the business will continue to grow and attract clients while I’m on maternity leave. We went on a hiring spree and I’ve brought on 3 new team members. We now have total of 9 people on our team. And to think just a couple of year’s ago it was just me and a virtual assistant! When you put your mind to it your business can grow really quickly!
I’ve also been working with Michele DeKinder-Smith of Jane Out of the Box to help you discover what type of Jane you are. She’s created this really cool survey that you go through (it only takes about 10 minutes) and it tells you what type of entrepreneur you are. You might think – why do I care? Well by knowing what type of entrepreneur you are it shows you how you work best, what kind of opportunities would be most profitable for you to take advantage of and how structuring your business based on the type of entrepreneur you are can help it grow quicker! CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY. We’ve also added in some questions to help Rockstar Wedding Planner grow in the direction that will benefit you the most.
Yesterday I sent out an exciting survey link so that you could find out what type of Jane you are.
I’ve teamed up with my friend Michele DeKinder-Smith of Jane Out of the Box. Her company has spent the past two years interviewing close to 1,000 women business owners about their definitions of success. About their daily struggles. And about their dreams. And in the process, she observed some important patterns. She then applied rigorous research methods and statistics to her data and uncovered five unique types of female entrepreneurs. Each type has specific strengths – and specific challenges and opportunities as well. (In fact, you might have opportunities staring at you RIGHT NOW you’re not taking advantage of because you’re not able to “see” them. But you’re in luck because all of that can change!)
To find out what type of Jane you are is completely free AND it comes with awesome BONUSES:
1) Free call with Ciara & Michele – Wednesday April 28th at 2pm MST/ 4pm EST called “What Kind of Rockstar Wedding Planner Are You?”
2) Free copy of Michele’s book: “See Jane Succeed”- This book tells you all about the Jane’s and how you can benefit from the knowledge of knowing which Jane you are and boost your business by making plans that fit your type (rather than trying to be who you’re not!)
3) Free set of mp3 audios from Ciara & Michele on each Jane type (you’ll receive these soon after our free call next Wednesday) – We’re going to go through each Jane type and I’m going to make suggestions on what you can do as a wedding planner to maximize your business potential now that you know what type of Jane you are.
HUGE BONUS: I’m asking about pricing in this survey… the biggest question I hear at every industry convention is “What do you charge?” We did a secret poll at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2010 and it was mega revealing. This time we’re asking everyone on this list to reveal what they charge through our super confidential survey and I’m going to reveal the results to everyone! So the more planners that participate the better our results will be…and I know you all want to know….click here.
Take the survey now!
Knowing what type of Jane you are means that you can plan and grow your business in a way that suits the lifestyle that will make you the most happy. It will also help me restructure Rockstar Wedding Planner to offer resources that you specifically need as in the survey we ask you some questions so that you can help me grow too.
This survey is completely confidential and I’ll only receive the results as a whole, not your individual results, that’s private for you. So don’t wait! Take this cool survey now by clicking here.
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara
Do you know who you really are? I mean really and truly…do you know who you are as an entrepreneur working in the wedding industry?
Because if you don’t it could be hurting your business.
I thought I knew 
until I met my friend Michele DeKinder-Smith. Michele created Jane out of the Box which is this super cool survey you can take to find out what kind of Jane you are.
Take the survey now!
There are 5 Jane’s and each represents a different female entrepreneur. And each Jane has a different motivation for running her business, a different way of looking at money and a different goal for her business. I see a lot of wedding planners thinking that they’re supposed to fit into a particular mold as a wedding planner but it doesn’t suit them at all. And the more and more they try to push themselves into that mold the more it hurts their business because it’s not aligned with who they truly are.
Once I knew which Jane I was and which Jane I wanted to be I shifted the way I was conducting my business.
Curious which Jane you are? Click here to find out.
I’ve teamed up with Michele to offer you the Jane survey but with a twist… we’re making her Rockstar Wedding Planner Jane! As you know I’ve been adjusting my business to suit the kind of life that I want to have with my first child on the way. This includes adjusting the information I offer through Rockstar Wedding Planner. And I don’t want to be wasting my time or yours offering you information you don’t want or need. So instead, Michele has combined the questions to help you figure out what kind of Jane you are with questions that will help me make Rockstar Wedding Planner waaaayyy cooler!
(Yes… I need your help to increase my cool factor!)
Not only will you find out your Jane type but Michele and I are going to do a free call on Wednesday April 28th at 2pm MST/ 4pm EST called “What Kind of Rockstar Wedding Planner Are You?” We’re going to be going through the Jane’s and helping you understand how you can use your Jane to benefit your business and grow your business in a way that will make you the happiest!
To sign up for the free call you just need to complete the survey.
Now, Michele is keeping all your email addresses and individual results completely confidential… no amount of bribing her with chocolate will get her to reveal your individual results to me! So you’ll complete the survey and then after you’re done you’ll enter your email address and be sent your Jane type and THEN on the thank you page post survey you’ll have the chance to sign up for the free call and get that information sent to you.
So super confidential!

I just wrapped up Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2010. It was an event filled with amazing wedding planners who are ready to take big leaps in their business and shine as the stars that they are. I am so proud of all that we accomplished.
One of the most touching moments for me was when my 2009 Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends took to the stage to share their success stories with the other planners in attendance. I am so proud of their triumphs over the last year. I wanted to share with you all they’ve accomplished being a part of my 6 Figure Wedding Planner Club at the Legend level so I’ve posted a video for you to watch by clicking here.
If you know that this is your year to play a bigger game and to step into your star power the Rockstar Wedding Planner 6 Figure Club is for you. This is the only wedding planner mastermind program designed by a wedding planner for wedding planners. The inaugural program last year was revolutionary.
This year I am opening up applications for the 2010 program at 2 levels. There is the Legend level and the Hall of Fame level. Both include one on one coaching with me over a year, group retreats with the other participants, branding with Couture Consulting and much more. To view all the details of each level and to determine which is the right fit for you click here.
PLUS, tomorrow, Wednesday March 24th I’m joining forces with my friends, Kristy Chenell and Katie Hess of Couture Consulting, to bring you a special free teleseminar called,
“Discover The Power of Combining Proven, Income Generating Marketing Strategies With A Timeless, Innovative Brand Strategy and Make 2010 Your Year to Shine As A Rockstar Wedding Planner”
In this call we will cover:
•Why traditional marketing isn’t working to attract brides anymore and how you can use low cost to no cost methods to attract the exact bride you want to work with
•How your brand is more than just a logo and why it’s such a key piece of attracting your perfect bride
•Why your pretty website isn’t making you any money (and might be the wrong kind of pretty) AND how you can change it
•The power of combining marketing and branding and the success you can experience in your business
You can sign up for this free call and watch the video I mentioned above by clicking here.
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara
We just wrapped up Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2010, and I’m going to share some exclusive footage of the event with you soon, but in the meantime I wanted you to see this short video featuring my 2009 Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends. They participated in my 6 Figure Wedding Planner Club at the Legend level last year and have had amazing successes. Each of these wedding planners started at a different level and went in different directions but each has experienced phenomenal success.
If you’ve ever doubted if you could make it in your wedding planning business or wondered if the business you created could really go to the next level, you need to click here to hear how these planners changed their lives.
I am opening up the applications to be a part of the 6 Figure Wedding Planner Club at either the Legend level or the Hall of Fame level right now.
But this window of opportunity will not be open for long. I am only accepting applications until 11:59am MST Friday March 26th 2010.
There is the Legend level and the Hall of Fame level. Both include one on one coaching with me over a year, group retreats with the other participants, branding with Couture Consulting (a new addition this year) and much more. To view all the details of each level and to determine which is the right fit for you click here.
We have had a significant interest in this program over the last year. The industry has been abuzz wondering just what this program is all about and how the wedding planners that are involved in it have been able to have the best year of their lives when the economy has been in such a difficult state. Hear it from my students directly by clicking here.
Love and wedding planning success,

Have I ever told you that the first marketing seminar that I ever went to I actually registered 3 days before it started? Notices about it had come into my email inbox but I’d just brushed them off. But on that day something different was happening with me. I was stuck sitting at my corporate job which I’d just returned to because my venture in real estate didn’t work out. But I was still working in real estate because I thought if I could just sell one house I could live off that money for awhile and do wedding planning full time.
Totally backwards right?
Well, I got this email and I took notice. It was for a marketing and sales seminar and I registered completely last minute. And I think you know that’s just where my story began. I now run a very successful multiple 6 figure wedding planning agency and I’m bringing my strategies and done for you tools at my LIVE event, next week on March 15, 16 and 17.
We still have planners registering and I’m so happy. It’s not too late to change your life and create the business that will bring you joy. Click here to sign up now.
It’s okay to be last minute… it’s not okay to settle for unhappiness. Click here to join me.
Love and wedding planning success,

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. 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 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
