You don’t need to have a huge portfolio before starting your business.
You don’t need to have a 4 page resume before booking your ideal client.
You don’t need to have a degree in your field to be confident in what you do.
And you definitely don’t need to have it all figured out.
When I started Dear Sweetheart Events, I had ZERO experience and ZERO portfolio images. Yep, that’s right. Nada, zip, zero. To be honest, I had absolutely NO IDEA what I was doing… but I knew I had to try.
Starting a wedding planning business has been the most challenging & fulfilling thing I have ever done. But it’s also been lonely… really lonely. There have been times in my business where I felt like I had no one to turn to, no one to rely on & no one to confide in. Those feelings of loneliness were some of the lowest points in my business, and I made it my mission to help other creatives overcome those feelings & find community right where they are.
One week from today, I’ll be hosting a FREE 60 minute webinar for wedding planners & creative small business owners. I’ll be sharing ALL of my secrets, spilling all the beans & hopefully giving you a glimpse into my how to’s and what not to do’s!! I do NOT consider myself an expert… I’m just a girl who had a big dream & finally found the guts to chase it. But I hope in this FREE webinar, you can find a friend, find camaraderie and walk away with some of your biggest questions answered!!
Who’s this for: I’ll be focusing specially on Wedding Planning (styling & floral design included), however if you are not a planner you’re welcome to join! I’m sure instagram, blogging, client experience and other topics like that will come up!!
What we’ll cover: Whatever you want!! I’ll be sharing my story & then opening the floor & fielding your questions!
What if I can’t watch it live? Sign up to receive the replay! Even if you can watch it live, you’ll still receive the replay!
What’s the catch? There’s no catch. Just me & my yoga pants in my joyfully pink office talking with you, encouraging you and reminding you that you’re doing just fine.
