5 thing I wish I knew before quitting my 9 - 5 job to start my own Wedding & Event Planning Business 📝
1. 🧠You’ll stay in a 9-5 mindset… until you don’t.
I kept the structure I loved (routine, systems, teamwork) but let go of what kept me in a box (micromanagement, limited freedom, hierarchy, lack of creativity or initiative, rules about phones, nails, hair or uniform etc.)
Your business = your rules.
2. You don’t “wear many hats” babe, you ARE the hat stand🎩.
From Business Owner to administrator to accountant… every role is yours! Even when you hire help, the responsibility is still on you.
3, Not every “yes” is worth it 🚫.
You don’t need to work with or please everyone. It’s OK to say no and it’s OK if others say no to you (read that again). Focus on what’s right for YOU and your vision.
4. You’re always learning📚
You might be brilliant at what you do, but there’s always room to grow. Get a business coach, expand your industry knowledge and network (even if it feels uncomfortable).
5. Not everyone will believe in your dream and that’s not a problem👌🏾
You’re the only one who needs to see the vision. Stay confident and block out the noise. It’s your dream for a reason 🫶🏾
Starting a business isn’t easy but it’s super rewarding in so many ways 🥰
