Last week, I attended The Simple Plan, which is a business planning workshop for wedding industry professionals. It’s put on by Michelle Loretta and Kelly Simants, of Sage Wedding Pros. It was, without a doubt, the BEST THING I could have done (and probably will ever do) for my business. I spent two days surrounded by some pretty amazing people – it was so inspiring.
I’ve just been going a hundred miles an hour lately and this workshop forced me to stop and think about just my business for two whole days. Yes, this is a ‘side’ job, and no, it’s not the main source of my income, but I was treating it like the business aspect wasn't important because of those things and I wasn't giving that part of running a business the time it deserved. This workshop gives you tools to write your business plan... and it will change the way you view your business. It gave me such a fresh perspective and got me so excited about the future of Palm Papers.
If you want a little taste of what I learned, check out the Sage Wedding Pros blog. It is full of business information and tools and they explain it so that it’s easy to understand. Michelle even makes accounting simple... okay that might be because I already have a ‘bit’ of a background, but still they are good.
