Setting Goals - 3 Amazing Goals I have set for 2015

There's so many bridal, wedding, workshops, meet-ups, wedding planner brunch/lunch functions coming up this year. I love to be very active in my business and participate and attend a lot of events. I will discuss 3 Goals I have set this year; which one includes a fun personal vacation! 

#1 Goal: 

My first goal for 2015 is to continue to participate in the weekly Twitter Chat.  I will continue and plan my calendar around these particular chats (set my phone alerts to remind me).  These chats are fun, educational, and a perfect time to communicate with other wedding professionals. I currently, participate on Wednesdays, and Sundays. I have met some awesome wedding planners and professionals via Twitter. I have even had a few support me when I host my own networking events. Participating in my swag bags, sponsoring prizes/giveaways. 

#2 Goal: 

My second goal....I have a goal to sign up for a educational program. A program that is specific to wedding planners, small business owners, ect... Education is key, and I want to continue to learn more about improving my business. I want to present the best services, products, ect to my clients. I'm currently shopping around for the best educational program to sign -up for! 

#3 Goal: 

Lastly, my 3rd Goal is to plan a vacation for the Summer 2015 during my birthday week. I love to rent out the awesome beachhouses in Tybee Island, Georgia. It's a lot of attractions, restaurants, beach activites, water sports, and more! I will begin now looking for a beach house to reserve ( it's a great idea to start early before they are Sold Out)! I will plan all the activites in advance as well. I want to stay for 7 days; relax, and have a ton of fun! I have been before in the past several times; but this time I want to try things I never have before!

My One Focus for 2015 - Bride & Groom Education

Education, is the one thing I want to focus on more than anything in 2015. Educating brides and grooms, by blogging, writing a ebook, hosting workshops, events, and functions centered around wedding and bridal education. I will not forget the guys, grooms need education as well. I want to provide a fun, interactive platform, for brides and grooms to easily access. I want to create series of workshops. I have been thinking about this a long time. I am all about education.

I have such a desire to teach the brides and grooms what they need while engaged. I want to be very hands-on with the couples. 

     "I am happy to be apart of the process of educating couples, this is a very exciting venture for me" 

Also, teaching about preparation for pre-wedding, scheduling and planning all those fun activites ( engagement party, bridal shower, bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, ect...) I see a lot of engaged coupes that really need a lot of education and guidance. I love to blog about varies wedding/bridal topics that will assist with the wedding planning. Also, it's truly important to hire a wedding planner (no matter what). 

Furthermore, by creating such amazing platforms, for the couples; this will help me be a very resourceful wedding planner. I have already started thinking of what I would like to do. Now, that the new year is here, it's time to start plugging in those dates/time/location for the upcoming events. Also, it's time to continue to blog, and to keep putting out amazing content. The ebook is a project I want to really want to complete; and have available for couples.

I love to write, and I know the ebook would be a fun project for me. The ebook ties into the educational element of my "one" goal to focus on (which is indeed "education").

I'm excited about what's to come for my 2015 engaged couples. I want brides and grooms to have a amazing experience while engaged and going into their marriage.

Letting Go - Forming new habits

Out with the old and in with the new, with the new year among us it's time to set new goals. Reflect on what we accomplished last year. Time to form all fresh and new habits! I want to let go of the habit of not writing my new ideas down! 

I get a idea and sometimes I will not write it down. As a wedding and event planner I'm always brainstorming. Constantly, thinking of new things to implement. 

My new habit I will form for this year is writing my ideas down ( writing them down all the time, as soon as I think of them!)!!!

Holding on to old habits will slow you down. I don't want to start the new year off with habits from 2014. 

What I plan to do is, as soon as an idea pops into my head. I'm going to grab a notebook, or journal and write the idea down. I will also use tabs to organize the ideas. I plan to have all my ideas all arranged where I can easily access them. 

I think that will help a lot, especially on days when I have down time. I also, plan to sit aside a time to look over my ideas. Most of the ideas that come to me are social, networking, and bridal/wedding events ideas. 

Developing great habits will help me prosper in my business. Therefore, I can be even more productive. I will be able also to take these ideas and build on them! I cannot wait to get started with forming my new habit for 2015!

A Tool for becoming more Productive - Meditation

I have decided to use "Meditation" as a tool to become more productive, I have always been curious about it. I had confirmation (I truly believe when you hear the same consistent thing by different sources it's a sign) by a professional vendor (she was telling me about it last year). Also, this particular vendor  makes amazing bath & body products. Furthermore,  recently I had a family member recommend meditation to me.

I was even invited to attend a local meditation class (I thought it was such a awesome idea). I just never followed up on the invite. But, I'm glad that I am finally going to go ( I'm actually REALLY looking forward to it)! 

I'm still in the early learning stages, checking out books and materials about meditation. I want to be educated about it, and learn as much as I can. I'm looking forward to the benefits of it. I know it will improve my personal, and business life. That's surely what I'm looking forward to! 

I want to create a quiet, neat, and beautiful space where I can actually meditate. A spot in my home where I can just get very comfortable, relax, and close my eyes. I think it's very important that I'm in a space where I can feel calm, and at ease, and can focus on the meditation. 

 

Life gets very busy, and we take so much in. I feel that meditation would be a great way to clear my mind.  Also, as a business owner meditation would help with managing stress, decluttering my mind, sharpening my critical thinking skills, and more.  

I will have to keep you all posted on my journey of Mediation! Also, I'm going to download the Head space App. I cannot wait to see all the beautiful benefits that I will gain over my life! This "tool" is going to be a life changing experience! 

My last three blog posts have been very inspirational, thanks to this awesome 15-Day Blogging Challenge by Natalie Sisson
