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.

Planning and orchestrating the “perfect” wedding takes a lot of time and energy. We, as Wedding Planners, are required to be up-beat, excited, and always have the answer for any problem that may arise. Since the business takes so much out of us, the last thing we need is to allow the people around us to take our energy, too. I’d like to help you find ways of keeping your energy so that it’s there when you need it for your brides.

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.

The most important thing to remember is to remain high-spirited, energetic, happy, and positive in order to attract brides to your business. Brides want everyone around them to be as excited and thrilled as they are. So, when the energy-thieves threaten to rob you of your time and energy, simply remember to objectify the problem, breathe, and most of all remind yourself of the reason you do this kind of work. Be positive, be focused, most of all be happy! You LOVE what you do, so show it!
