Feeling overwhelmed starting or growing your events business? Read this:

Starting your event business can feel like stepping into the unknown—so much to learn, endless “shoulds” to navigate, and that little voice whispering, “Am I ready for this?”

💡 First, let me tell you—you are.

But the events industry is evolving faster than ever, and success today isn’t just about planning the perfect event. Thriving businesses are built on strong relationships, strategic collaboration, and the confidence to take intentional action.

Here’s how to set yourself up for long-term success:

🔹 Relationship-First Approach
This industry thrives on trust and connection. Whether you're planning weddings, corporate events, or social gatherings, relationships are your biggest asset.

✔ Happy clients = more business. Deliver unforgettable experiences, and clients won’t just return—they’ll send referrals your way. Word-of-mouth is everything.
✔ Your vendor and partner network matters. Building strong connections with other pros keeps you first in mind and results in better opportunities.
✔ Your reputation is your resume. The event world is surprisingly small. Your integrity, follow-through, and ability to build trust will set you apart and fuel your long-term success.

💡 Mindset Shift: Instead of focusing on “getting clients,” focus on building meaningful relationships. Growth will follow.

🔹 Strategic Collaboration
No successful event business is built in isolation. The best event pros know the power of partnerships.

✔ Expand your reach by aligning with vendors and service providers who complement your vision.
✔ Working with complementary businesses strengthens your offerings and creates win-win opportunities for mutual growth.
✔ Surround yourself with the right people. Learning from others in the industry will open doors to new opportunities.

💡 Mindset Shift: Value collaboration over competition. There’s more than enough business to go around.

🔹 Confidence in Your Path
The industry is always changing, and the most successful event entrepreneurs stay focused and resilient.

✔ Expect the unexpected. Vendor cancellations, client changes, and last-minute surprises happen. Your ability to put doubts aside and stay in your lane will set you apart.
✔ Stay ahead of the curve. Trends evolve, technology shifts, and new opportunities emerge—being open to new avenues keeps you competitive.
✔ Embrace challenges as lessons. The setbacks you face today will make you a stronger business owner tomorrow.

💡 Mindset Shift: Instead of fearing obstacles, see them as stepping stones. Every successful event pro has turned challenges into wins.

And remember...you’re not just running a business—you’re building your brand. Trust yourself, take intentional action, and focus on relationships. Consistent action will lead to a thriving business that you LOVE.

💬 What’s one mindset shift that has helped you grow in the events industry? Let's inspire others on their own path.

“There are already so many event planners—how do I stand out?”

The real challenge isn’t the competition—it’s the trap of comparison that keeps you from embracing what makes you unique.

When you’re just starting out, it’s easy to feel like there’s no room for you—but that’s not the real story. The U.S. event industry is worth over $200 billion and growing, yet many aspiring planners hesitate, worrying the market is too crowded to succeed.

But the market isn’t oversaturated when you bring something uniquely yours to the table. Your background, skills, and experiences create value no one else can replicate. The real problem? Too many event planners blend in instead of confidently standing out.

🔥 Here’s how to stand out:

✔ Identify your strengths – What do you do best? Where can you fill a gap in the market?

✔ Own your space – Share your vision. Talk about your business. Get feedback and refine as you go!

When you trust in yourself, standing out and attracting your dream clients becomes easier. Your individuality is your competitive edge.

You know that feeling when a new year rolls around, and you hear that voice inside: “There’s gotta be something more out there for me.”

I remember it so clearly. After a couple of decades in the corporate world—where I was chasing other people’s goals—I felt that voice getting louder... until I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

That’s why 4 years ago, I took the leap and started my own business. It wasn’t easy, but it’s been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life.

If you’ve been feeling that nudge, that spark, that curiosity about what life could look like if you pursued the path calling you—this could be YOUR year.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Growth starts with clarity. So start by taking a few moments to imagine your ideal workday:

✨ What are you doing?
✨ Who are you helping?
✨ What does success look—and feel—like for you?

Then dig a little deeper:
💡 Why does this matter to you?
💡 What could building something of your own mean for your life, your family, your future?

Your next step doesn’t need to be big—it just needs to happen.
✅ Research industries and areas that excite you.
✅ Reflect on your unique strengths and skills.
✅ Brainstorm small, intentional steps to move forward.

Every journey begins with those first small steps. So, what’s one step you can take today?

As 2024 draws to a close, let me ask you something: how long have you been waiting for the “perfect time” to finally go after what you really want? The truth is, perfect doesn’t exist—but readiness? That’s something you can create.

When I started my own business, I had all the doubts. What if I fail? What if this is too risky? What if I don’t have what it takes? (Sound familiar?) But here’s what I learned: clarity doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from doing. Taking one step, then the next, until suddenly you realize… you’re building something BIG. 💥

Is it scary? Absolutely.

Is it worth it? More than you can imagine.

Here’s how to get started:

✔ Define what excites you. What lights you up when planning or organizing in your daily life? Is it hosting gatherings, brainstorming creative event themes, or helping people connect? Write down what feels joyful and authentic to you.

✔ Visualize your ideal day. Picture a workday in your future event business. What events would you design? Who would you serve? How would your day align with your passions and priorities?

✔ Explore your “why.” What’s driving you to make this change? Is it flexibility, creativity, or the chance to create meaningful experiences? Knowing your “why” will guide you through every step.

✔ Set one achievable goal. Research local event businesses, brainstorm a business name, or list your unique strengths. Choose one action you can take this month to build momentum.

At MAXevent, we help women build purpose-driven event businesses that align with their values and passions. Whether you’re starting fresh or ready to grow your side hustle, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

2025 IS YOUR YEAR TO THRIVE—let’s make it happen!

Your intuition isn’t just a feeling—it’s your business superpower.

Here’s the thing: trusting your gut can feel risky, especially when you’re pivoting into entrepreneurship. But your intuition? It’s often the key to building an event business that feels right, works for you, and lasts.

When you follow your instincts, you’re not just making decisions—you’re:

✔️ Creating a business aligned with your values
✔️ Attracting the right clients who get you
✔️ Taking bold, confident steps—even when the path feels uncertain

Let’s talk about how to lean into your intuition as a business tool:

1️⃣ Pause and listen. What’s your gut telling you? Lean into those feelings of excitement or hesitation—they’re clues.
2️⃣ Filter the advice. Not every “expert tip” is meant for you. Pay attention to what feels authentic to your journey.
3️⃣ Rethink fear. Fear isn’t always a stop sign. Sometimes it’s a sign you’re stepping into growth.

If you’re a woman making the leap from a traditional career to running your own business, you’ve probably felt the pressure to get it all “right.” But here’s the truth: the best decisions come from trusting yourself—not just what others say works for them.

Your intuition isn’t just a guide—it’s the blueprint for a business that feels true to you. 🌟 Trust it.

Have you found your business Sweet Spot yet?

If you have, you know exactly what I’m talking about—those electrifying moments of pure clarity that hit out of nowhere and send a rush of excitement through your whole body. The kind where suddenly, everything you’ve been mulling over for weeks, months, or even years just clicks. That missing piece of the puzzle falls into place, and you know—you just know—you’re onto something BIG.💥

For me, it hit big the other day… in the shower! 🚿 Maybe the most intense game-changing moment I've ever had!

But let’s be real—those magical, lightning-bolt breakthroughs don’t happen every day. Why? Because we're so focused on all the external noise that we forget to tune in to what’s happening within. Those moments of clarity? They come when we stop pushing and finally give ourselves permission to pause.

Here’s the thing: if you’re a woman juggling a million balls in the air, disconnecting can feel impossible. 🧠 You think, “I just need to keep moving forward. Work harder. Do more.” But the truth? Breakthroughs can’t be forced—they happen when we make space for them.

For me, that space often comes during a hot shower—it’s my kind of multi-tasking! But it could be anywhere—taking a walk around the block, sitting by the ocean to clear your mind and listen to the waves, or simply closing your eyes and practicing deep breathing in silence.

✨ The key? Commit to even just one hour a day to step back, declutter your thoughts, and reconnect with yourself. ✨

Because when you do, you open the door to clarity, creativity, and those breathtaking epiphanies that can change everything.

Feeling stuck? Whether you’re ready to start fresh or finally grow your event business, let’s chat! Comment or DM to schedule a free 25-minute Strategy Starter Session and get the clarity and actionable steps you need to make space for your Big Business Breakthroughs.

✨ Trusting your intuition isn’t just a skill—it’s your superpower in business. ✨

For women transitioning from traditional careers into entrepreneurship, trusting your intuition is key to building a business that reflects your values, attracts the right clients, and creates a path that feels true to you.

When you trust your gut, you’re not just making decisions—you’re building a business aligned with your purpose. 🌟

Your inner compass knows the way. Not every piece of advice will feel right, and that’s okay. Trust what feels authentic to YOU.

🌟 Truth talk: Starting your event business as your second act isn’t just about switching careers—it’s about embracing a whole new chapter of growth and possibility.

Remember when you first dreamed of making this leap? That mix of excitement and nerves? Those feelings are still with you because they’re signposts that you’re on the right path.

Here’s the truth: the most successful event planners I know didn’t start with all the answers. What they did have was a circle of supporters who:

✨ Believed in their courage to pivot careers
✨ Celebrated their bold new beginnings
✨ Reminded them that their past experiences are their superpower

As we pause for Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to honor the people who’ve cheered us on through this journey. Who’s been YOUR biggest source of support? A mentor, friend, partner, or fellow entrepreneur?

Tag them below and share your gratitude. Let’s celebrate those who lift us up—and keep us going. 🧡

Wishing you all a joyful, gratitude-filled Thanksgiving week! 🦃✨

11/25/2024

Starting an event planning business after switching careers can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. You’re excited but also overwhelmed by thoughts like:

💭 “Am I really qualified to do this?”
💭 “How do I price my services when I’m still figuring it all out?”
💭 “What if this doesn’t work, and I’ve wasted time and money?”

You’re not alone—and these thoughts? They’re completely normal. But here’s the thing: they don’t have to hold you back.

Building a successful event business isn’t just about learning the tools or strategies (though we’ll get to that). It’s about rewiring how you see yourself, owning your expertise—even as a career-changer—and finding the clarity and confidence to create a business and life you love.

This work takes focus, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the year winding down, there’s no better time to step into this next chapter and finally take action toward the freedom, flexibility, and success you deserve.

✨ Let’s figure out your next move together. ✨
