Event Planning And It's Gimmicks
Event planning can be challenging you know? Every event planner knows it is not as easy as boiling plantain or frying egg. It can be so demanding. Hence, the need for smartness.

Each time I plan events, I know right from the outset that I need to create, manage, organise and execute a lot of creative plans and strategies that are mind blowing and impossible. Guess what nothing is impossible.
******
Here are the gimmicks that kept me going as an event planner
1. CONFIDENCE
Many a times I doubt the fact that I can do it, which leads to failure, guess what I started been the best when I grew self confidence. Let me shock you, you can't be confident without having good communication skill, well written proposal and being neat and presentable.
Stand out today, do what you think you can not do.
2.CREATIVITY
As an event planner you need to be creative, we are in a competitive society whereby everyone strives to bring out the best of themselves, don't be scared to bring new ideas and beat your client expectations, Always think outside the box, be creative and explore.
3.TIME MANAGEMENT
You need to know that no client appreciates delay when it comes to delivery. This has been the challenge most event planners face, why is it so? it is because they fail to plan and they plan to fail. As an event planner you should minimize your time and improve the quality of your thinking, set a goal, not just a goal but attainable one, set your priority, Time wait for no man.
4.INTEGRITY
Integrity is the foundation of your character, and character will take you far. Integrity goes with being honest, Earl Nightingale once wrote that, "If honesty did not exist, it would have to be invented, as it is the surest way of getting rich". You need to be honest as an entrepreneur in your business, guard your integrity as it will lead you to success.
5.PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
To be a successful event planner you need to develop yourself, how can you do that, by buying and reading books, magazine, journals and many other resources that can add value to your life and business. Also enrol for seminars and trainings where you can meet professionals in your field. With all these there would be development in your life and business.
