Energy is Essential for Success as a Wedding Planner
Let’s face it; the hardest part of the Wedding Planner business is finding brides. We all want to have a foolproof way of attracting them and even though there really isn’t one, I’d like to share a few thoughts on how I keep my business so successful.
I would like to share a little insight I’ve acquired on how we lose our energy. There are people out there I like to call energy-thieves. These people are well-meaning and can be anyone from co-workers to family. They come to you in their times of need or with a crisis that needs attention and expect you to pull them through. In the process, you invest yourself into the problem. It takes your time, your thoughts, and your energy and leaves you feeling exhausted and a little blue.
People who are well-meaning, but never have a positive thing to say are the very people to avoid. This is easier said than done, because they may be very close to you and you don’t even see it. Try this, the next time someone comes to you with a problem, evaluate how you feel once you’ve helped them. If you notice that you feel worn out, a little depressed, lacking in motivation, etc. then you’ve just let an energy stealer have some of yours.
So, now that you know how to recognize them, you need to learn how to cope with them. The first step is to keep your distance. If you aren’t around them, they won’t have the opportunity to tap into your energy. The second is to learn how to objectify the problems that they do bring to you. Take deep breaths, lean on your Higher Power, step back. These are all good methods for dealing with losing your energy when confronted with the energy-thieves.
Lastly, when you are feeling particularly unmotivated, take a few moments to remember why you started this business in the first place. Savor the memory of the first Wedding that you planned that went off without a hitch. Congratulate yourself on how far you’ve come and then focus your thoughts and energy into what you are doing and where you want to be. It works! After I realized that a lot of my energy was going out to the energy-thieves, I began to identify, objectify, and re-group my thoughts. After that, it was easy to remember why I loved being a Wedding Planner. I now am enjoying great success, not only in my business but with my family, too. I have even been able to open a Dcor Division.
Center yourself by thanking your Higher Power for all the gifts you’ve gotten. Remind yourself why you pushed so hard to get here. Then put on that “glowing” face and get out there and be the best Wedding Planner you can. YOU CAN DO IT! I am, and loving every minute of it!
