The one thing that is more important in events than it ever has been?
BEING FLEXIBLE.
Events are unpredictable at the best of times. I always recommend not putting any tasks off because "there is still time". Let me tell you, in those last two weeks beforehand, there is going to be a lot of stuff happening that you didn't anticipate. Do what you can as early as possible so you have the time and head space with all that unexpected stuff. And if nothing happens? Well then you are super well prepared and lucky and you can just sit back and relax.
I hate when suppliers tell me that I come to them so early and there is still so much time to confirm things. NOPE. Lock it in so I can tick it off my list LOL
Anyway, now with COVID and even more uncertainty around, it makes it near impossible to plan for anything. We need to be prepared for last-minute changes. We need to be adaptable. A lot of issues we are seeing are still COVID related in one way or the other and we are far from "out of the woods".
BUT, it is not only us who have to be flexible and ready to accept change. It is also YOU. The clients. The people attending our events. We are all excited about being able to do stuff again but unfortunately things don't always go to plan and there is a high chance that something you expected might not happen. Be patient, be kind and most importantly don't let little things ruin your entire event experience.
I know for a fact, that us event people are trying to learn how to navigate this beast and let me tell you - it is not easy and it is not fun. But we are always trying our best. We will always try and make the best out of the situation and if you are flexible and open minded, you
Decisions, decisions, decisions….
When you are a small business owner, mum, part time employee, housewife, teacher…….
My office is in my living room and I can’t work when I’m surrounded by mess. But I also have two little children which means there is always mess.
I can’t afford a bigger house or office, so I moved the mess to the bedroom today. My entire bedroom floor is now covered in washing which needs to be folded 😂 #killingitatlife
So this is what we sacrifice for YOU. We put everything on hold, put our customers first so we can make you guys happy :-) you know how can you make us happy? Purchase from us so we can pay our cleaner for the week and catch a break. 😂 😂 😂
Someone please tell me - washing or work tomorrow???
Went to Queenscliff today.
Had a terrible time 😂
Jokes - it really is the most gorgeous little town. @seaviewhouse is in the best location, there is something for everyone.
I have left a few hours of free time in our itinerary which is perfect to explore what this town has to offer. Bookshop, OP shop, ice cream shops, bars, retail outlets, all just a stone throw away.
Wake to the lighthouse (there are 2) or just sit on the beach and listen to the waves. I was only there for a day and already feel replenished (even though I had the kids with me).
Don’t miss out. Book your spot now or you’ll miss out. Only 2x doubles
A little update on the measures we are taking to keep you all save ❤️
Something exciting happening here today. Why is driving around exciting you may ask??? Let me tell you why.
1. I get to spend a few hours by myself singing as loud as I can without anyone looking at me funny (I’m looking at you kids!)
2. I am picking up something amazingly cute
3. The fact I am positing on this page means it’s for work.
4. The fact that I am picking up something for work means EVENTS ARE BACK
