You keep asking me for a follow up script, and I keep telling you no.
This week I'm answering the question I get more than any other: what do I say when a couple goes quiet after a consultation? The short answer is nothing, because a script was never the problem.
I'm walking you through why your consultation is ending without a clear next step, how to book that next step on the call itself, and what an actual personal follow up sounds like when you do need to send one.
Here's what you'll walk away with:
Why a follow up script cannot fix a consultation that ends without a clear next step
The exact question to ask before a couple leaves the call, and how to book a follow up date on the spot
What a personal, transcript-specific follow up looks like compared to a generic template

You want to stop doing weddings and still pay yourself well, and it feels impossible because those two things don't arrive at the same time. In this episode Brandee walks through the real build behind her own freedom: the contractor bottleneck, the salary trade she made on purpose, hiring up one role at a time, and the middle-season framework that reframes why building feels like going backward. Then she hands you three questions to decide your own path.
Here's what you'll take away:
Why you can't have time freedom and financial freedom at the same time, and the middle season where you trade one for the other
What "hiring up" means: every hire has to remove a responsibility entirely, not just reduce it
The three questions to answer before you build: what you want in three years, what you're willing to trade, and what season you're in

Most wedding pros are drowning in manual follow-ups, content, and admin while the work that makes money keeps sliding to tomorrow. In this episode find out what changes when AI becomes the operational layer under your business, not a caption generator you have to prompt. This is the shift from being a tool user to being a system user, and it is happening faster than most people realize.
Here is what you'll take away:
The real difference between a CRM that automates a generic funnel and an AI employee trained on your offers, pricing, and history that drafts the right reply before you wake up
Why you audit your biggest time suck first, then build one system at a time like rolling the first ball of a snowman
How AI turns the words you already say on calls and in meetings into content that sounds like you and pulls in clients like the ones you've already booked

In this episode, I'm breaking down the one AI skill that has to come before any prompt, tool, or automation.
Most wedding pros are building on a broken foundation, which is why their AI content sounds generic and nothing like them.
I'll show you how to build your foundation file so AI finally sounds like you and saves you the hours everyone keeps promising.

You're buried in repetitive work and drowning in A.I. hype that promises a hack will save you 10 hours. It won't, because A.I. is not the strategy.
In this episode I pull back the curtain on how we use A.I. employees inside our own wedding businesses to handle onboarding, follow-ups, sales tracking, and content, so your business runs lighter while you sleep.
If you've felt behind on A.I., this is the foundational breakdown that finally makes it make sense for wedding pros.

I have spent 20 years in the wedding industry, and since launching Wedding Pro CEO in 2020 I have helped hundreds of wedding pros build profitable, scalable businesses. The single biggest shift I am seeing right now is not about better prompts.
In this episode, I break down the difference between using AI as a tool and using it as an operating system, introduce the four AI agents every wedding pro should build first, and show you exactly where to start so you can stop being the bottleneck in your own business.
If you are tired of doing everything yourself, this one is for you.

Right now AI is optional for wedding pros. In two years it'll be the floor.

This week I went undercover and secret shopped a wedding DJ to expose exactly why so many wedding pros are losing sales before they ever get on a consult, and the answer has nothing to do with pricing.
I'm walking you through every friction point I hit, from the bloated contact form to the consultation that left me more confused than when I started, plus the five fixes that will turn your leads into booked weddings.
If you've been getting plenty of inquiries but not enough contracts, this episode is the wake-up call your business needs.

Wedding planners—are you cutting event management from your services? BIG mistake.
If you’ve hit that “fully booked” stage and think the only way to scale is by eliminating event management, I need you to STOP. Cutting it means losing cash flow, vendor referrals, and a built-in training ground for your team.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it yourself. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to keep event management as a strategic part of your business—so you can scale faster, build a stronger reputation, and create predictable income WITHOUT adding more to your plate.

I would like to introduce you to my Business Coach for 2024, Kenda Laney. We talk about the 4 buyer types and how understanding these can boost marketing and sales outcomes.
The 4 buyer types are: Driver, Analytical, Expressive, and Amiable. Each has unique characteristics and behaviors that influence their buying decisions.
We tied these buyer types to real-world examples in the wedding industry, explaining how understanding these varying customer profiles can help businesses tailor their marketing and sales approaches for improved results.
We stressed the importance of content creation that speaks to all types of buyers and guides them through the buying process. All of this contributes to a smoother sales process and stronger client relationships.

This episode dives into the importance of using Instagram strategically as a wedding professional to fill your lead funnel. Rather than viewing Instagram as a gallery for pretty photos that requires random posting, it should be utilized as a powerful sales tool to constructively engage with potential clients who are researching vendors.
My discussion covers multiple strategies including reframing your mindset, optimizing your profile to stand out, always sell without sounding overly promotional, and utilizing the chatbot automation called Many Chat to engage with potential clients.
The goal is to create a purposeful Instagram strategy that funnels engaged followers into paying clients.

Sydney Garvey's story is a testament to the power of implementing the course work inside of the Wedding Pro CEO Accelerator.
She transitioned from flower farming to opening a brick-and-mortar florist shop while expanding her wedding services.
The key moment that activated the growth was her realization that the business side of the wedding industry needed more attention than the creative aspects.
We discussed the importance of delegation and empowering team members to handle different aspects of the business, allowing for exponential growth.
Sydney's success story showcases how the Wedding Pro CEO Accelerator program played a pivotal role in streamlining her operations, setting clear goals, and establishing a spending plan.

In this reflective, in and outs episode, I take listeners behind the scenes of my 2023 business year, discussing the highs and lows and lessons learned.
From the success of the Wedding Pro CEO Accelerator program to failing to meet our expected revenue targets, it was a year of both growth and challenges.
Notably, the key lesson learned was to understand why goals weren't met and to formulate a strategy to fix it in the following year. With a renewed focus on education and growth in 2024, I am eager to slay my business goals and help even more wedding pros do the same.

Hey there, CEO! In today's episode, I'm thrilled to introduce you to the She Calls Her Shots podcast with Krista Marie. Krista and I had an amazing conversation about a topic that resonates with all of us: how to protect our time while growing our revenue. Trust me, we all need this!
Every year on this show, we like to spend a month where we highlight other industry podcasts that we love and that I know you will love too.
We delved into the importance of setting goals that don't overwhelm us and narrowing our focus to achieve long-term growth in our businesses.
Krista, a wedding and brand photographer and a no-fluff business coach, and I had a great connection throughout the episode.
During our chat, we reminisced about how I got started in this industry. I began my journey as a corporate event planner at a major hotel in Orlando after college. Although it seemed like a charmed entry, the long hours and lack of quality time with my daughter made me realize I needed a change.
We also tackled the overwhelming amount of education available nowadays. Trust me, I've had students who purchased countless programs in a year, only to feel completely overwhelmed. It's crucial to find clarity amidst the information overload.
As a wedding industry pro, you might feel the pressure to be present on every social media platform, manage your clients, and handle all the other aspects of your business. I encourage you to focus on one area that will move the needle the most for you right now. Put blinders on and go all in.
Remember, my ultimate goal is to help you ditch overwhelm and build a profitable business you love. That's why I create digital courses, social media content, podcasts, and YouTube videos—all available on my website, brandeegaar.com. I invite you to join me on this journey, leverage the resources, and let's make your wedding business thrive!
Tune in to the Wedding Pro CEO podcast and embark on a path to a sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling wedding business.

Hey there, CEOs!! I am thrilled to have you here as we dive into some game-changing strategies that will take your financial game to the next level. Today, I want to focus on three simple yet powerful tips that will help you build personal wealth without any additional costs. So, let's get started!
Tip number one is all about opening a business credit card. I'll be sharing why a business credit card can actually be a valuable asset in your financial journey and how it can help you get the most out of your business expenses.
Moving on to tip number two, we'll explore the world of high yield savings accounts. I recently discovered the incredible benefits of these accounts, and I can't wait to share them with you. Imagine earning 4 or 5% interest on your savings, compared to the meager rates offered by traditional banks. It's time to make your money work harder for you.
Last but not least, tip number three is all about making your personal finance a priority. I want to empower you to go beyond just paying yourself a salary and start investing in your retirement and future wealth. I'll be introducing you to a personal finance guru, Ramit Sethi, who has some incredible insights on designing a rich life that's unique to you.
Join me in the Wedding Pro CEO community on Facebook, where we can continue these conversations and support each other on our financial journeys. It's a thriving community of like-minded entrepreneurs, and I'd love for you to be part of it.
Remember, it's absolutely okay to be excited about making more money as a business owner. Your financial success is an integral part of building the life you love.

Hey there CEO's! In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Chelednik from the Knot and WeddingWire. We delved into the common issue of wedding professionals not being able to book clients and explored effective lead generation strategies.
Tom stressed the importance of understanding your ideal client and aligning your marketing with their preferences and interests. By showcasing your expertise and passions through blogs, social media, and website content, you can attract the right clients and increase your chances of closing more bookings.
I also highlighted the value of linking relevant blog posts in follow-up emails, as it establishes your expertise and builds rapport.
Tom shared valuable insights into client communication preferences and stressed the importance of adapting to their preferred method of contact. Whether it's phone calls, text messages, or email, meeting clients where they are increases the likelihood of meaningful engagement and conversion.
To support our listeners, Tom generously provided a downloadable resource called "10 Ways to Market to Generation Z," which offers valuable tips and strategies tailored to this demographic. Use the link below to download the content.

In this episode, we dive into a common frustration: why isn't your wedding business growing? As wedding professionals, we work tirelessly, often sacrificing our weekends and free time to create unforgettable events. But what if I told you that your business isn't reaching its full potential because your mindset is holding you back?
Picture this: a TikTok video featuring a snake shedding its skin caught my attention, and it holds an important lesson for us all. The snake didn't grow to its full size because it was confined to a small tank. Similarly, our businesses won't thrive if we limit ourselves and our ambitions. (Listen to the episode for the full crazy Tiktok story!
But it's time to break free from that limited thinking. We must surround ourselves with like-minded entrepreneurs who have already achieved what we aspire to. When we expand our community, we expand our possibilities.
So, don't let overwhelm hold you back any longer. Connect with me on Instagram @BrandeeGaar and let's start building your bigger tank.

Carissa and I, discuss the three main funnels that wedding entrepreneurs need in their businesses: the cold funnel (excite and attract), the warm funnel (captivate and convert), and the hot funnel (surprise and delight).
The cold funnel is used to attract leads, the warm funnel to convert those leads into bookings, and the hot funnel to create a client journey that leads to referrals.
We also chat about how Carissa got into the wedding industry and how she has expanded her business over the years, and shares valuable insights into how wedding entrepreneurs can create profitable businesses they love.

Hello CEOs!! In this episode, I discuss the biggest challenge I faced when running my wedding business: feeling overwhelmed, even with a large team. I realized that I was managing tasks instead of managing people, which meant that even when I delegated tasks to my team, I was still overwhelmed with work.
To solve this problem, I started delegating roles instead of tasks. By assigning specific roles to team members, they took ownership of the tasks within their role, which freed up my time and reduced my workload. I also made sure to set clear communication guidelines and touch-points to ensure that everyone was on the same page, and tasks were completed efficiently.

I break down some really specific strategies on how to work more with intentionality to make more in your business.

When I'm working with different wedding pros, so often what I hear is we don't have enough sales!!! or we need to increase our sales!!!
However, what's actually more accurate is that they're not converting enough leads in their business. Most wedding pros don't know if they're converting enough leads in their business because they're not tracking the data.
So that is what I am teaching today! To my CEOs interested in growing a real business they love, I want you to download my Inquiry Data Tracker.

I wanna ask you, have you ever thought of writing a book? If you've been in the industry for any amount of time, you've likely been told by a friend or a coworker that you should write a book.
There's so many crazy things that happen to us in this industry, right? And putting it all in a book just sounds like such a great idea. But then you start to think, maybe that's a lot of work!? I'm busy already and I don't even know where to start or how I would get it published or what it would even be about???
On today's show, my guest, Jeri Solomon and Edna Dratch Parker are both wedding pros in New England and Boston, and they came together over the last several years to write a book on how to plan a wedding.
What I love about this book is that they did a really great job of simply setting the foundation of wedding planning for couples for newly engaged couples.
They don't get into pricing and markets.
They aren't trying to replace a wedding planner.
In fact, they tell you that having a wedding planner is actually super important to planning your wedding.
But they do really set the foundation for engaged couples to help alleviate some of those questions that we answer over and over and over again as wedding pros.
If you've ever thought about writing a book, Edna and Jeri talk about their journey of writing and publishing their book, as well as what it's done for their businesses and why you should really consider authoring a book if that's something that's been on your bucket list.
So you guys, I know that you're gonna enjoy this episode, so sit back, relax, and let's get into it!!

I want to share three mistakes that I see happening so often in the wedding industry. I work with so many wedding pros and I absolutely love getting to like, dig into their business and really figure out what is causing some of their stress.
That stress is created by either lack of profit or a lack of time. Sometimes just plain old overwhelm or burnout occurs too.
As a wedding pro coach, I see the same mistakes over and over and over again. Mistakes that I too have made!!
So, I thought, what better way to share them than to come onto the podcast and say, these are the three mistakes I see wedding Pros making, and I want help you to avoid them!

Today I am being interviewed by Dallas Roy of, Details by Dallas Marketing Firm. This is such a fun conversation!!!
Dallas has a group of mostly seasoned wedding planners that submit questions to her. She then interviews wedding pros, asking them the questions and then publishes the answers to teach her audience all about building successful wedding industry businesses.
She reached out and asked if she could actually interview me, I thought it would be great and we decided to air it on the podcast.
This was such a fun time, and I think that there were some really tangible tips that our listeners will really take away from this episode. I hope that you love it!
This is a totally different kind of episode than we normally air, but I think it was a lot of fun.

Tahnee Sanders, a journalist turned floral designer-turned creative entrepreneur, takes a bold career pivot and starts the Strategy Studio to help female-founded creative service providers communicate their value, charge what they're worth, and run more profitable, sustainable businesses - all while navigating the unique customer lifecycle of the wedding industry.
"Are you exhausted or are you saturated? And there's a difference. So exhausted is obviously that full body exhaustion. I can't go on. I'm at my tipping point. I'm done. But saturation is when we are consuming so much content that we're not giving ourselves any white space to think creatively." -Tahnee Sanders
I want to ask you, have you ever heard of a three thumb scroll? I hadn't either until my conversation today with Tahnee Sanders.
She is such a breath of fresh air and we are talking all about how social media may be hurting your business.

Today I wanna talk about, "faking it until you make it." Now, listen, I know that this term gets a really bad rap in a lot of industries, right?
My husband hates when I use this term because it can convey the idea of falsifying your credentials to gain some sort of unwarranted notoriety.
"Fake it 'til you make it" can sometimes seem like it's saying you should lie about your expertise, or you should lie about what you have and haven't done. And I would never condone that.
I definitely, do not think, you should ever lie about what your experience or expertise is or where you have or have not worked.
Lying is never appropriate. Let's just clear that off the table. Listen to this Short episode of the Wedding Pro CEO Podcast and you will understand the best possible interpretation of "faking it until you make it."
Thank you for listening!

On today's Short, I wanna talk about, letting success be your response. A few weeks ago I saw a post by a fellow educator, Terrica. She's a force in the wedding education space. She's also a wedding planner on the East coast.
And Terrca's post said, let success be your response. And I was like, yes. Say it again!! Because I wholeheartedly believe in this so very much.
Whether it is the snarky responses from the sad humans in the comment section or people in your industry frustrated with your accomplishments, instead of getting angry and coming down to their level... Let your SUCCESS be your response.
Enjoy this Short of the Wedding Pro CEO Podcast! And thank you for supporting us by listening!

I opened the 2022 Wedding Pro CEO Summit encouraging all in attendance to be a Humble Learner. The theme of the summit was to help established wedding business owners to scale beyond the hamster wheel and become the CEO of their business.
I wanted everyone to learn a lesson from a Tiktok my husband shared with me. The philosopher, Epictetus was the subject of this short video.
From that Tiktok the subject of this opening presentation was born. Epictetus teaches that you cannot learn what you think you already know.
To be a successful wedding business owner, it is important to have an open mind and to be a humble learner, check your ego at the door and be vulnerable. You may learn something that can help you to completely rethink the process you thought was great.

Today, I want to discuss the importance of auditing your sales funnel.
For those who may not be familiar, a sales funnel refers to the process of bringing new followers into your business through various networks such as referrals, social media, and advertising.
However, sometimes you may find that your sales are not meeting your goals, and this could be due to issues in your sales funnel.
That's why, I want to share a quick and easy exercise that I do every month at my company, Blush, to check for any leaks in our sales funnel.
Thanks for listening and I hope this exercise helps you to understand and fix any leaks in your sales funnel.
Remember, my goal is to help you build a profitable business that you truly love.

On today's show, I am talking with Gretchen Culver of Rocket Science Events and Moon and Stars events and Minne Weddings. I wanna ask you, CEO. Have you ever had an idea for an additional revenue stream, or maybe even a whole separate company, but you're afraid to?
Or maybe you started it and things didn't quite go to plan, and so you just shut it down right away? Well, on today's episode, with Gretchen we talk about pivoting and either growing a new business, incorporating a new aspect of your current business or realizing it was just a half baked idea and shelving it for now.
Gretchen has pivoted into 3 different companies that are all complimentary of each other, and she shares on today's show a little bit of how each of those brands was started, the pivots that she has to make and tips to really help you understand whether it's the right time to start another brand or to start an additional revenue stream and things to think about so that you don't fall into those pitfalls when you do start this next brand.
I loved, loved this conversation with Gretchen. We had so much fun really talking about just so much practical industry knowledge about what you need to do when you are a business owner and you have all of these new ideas. We had a blast talking through this conversation and I know that you are gonna love it, so I cannot wait for you to tune in to today's show.

On today's short, real talk ya'll!! I want to talk to you about free, versus paid education and friends, we are gonna have a real heart to heart today on this podcast.
Now, the reason that this is coming up is because recently a coach friend of mine in the industry. (I did ask if I could share this story with my listeners. And she said, yes)
She reached out and asked, how would I respond to this email from a client?
She received an email from a student that purchased her signature course. The student wrote, the course was wonderful, but I've been watching your free content for years, and I feel like now there really wasn't much, in the course that you hadn't already taught through your free content... so I would like a partial refund on my purchase of your course.
Today I would love for you to listen to my heartfelt, real explanation on the benefits of paid versus free education.

In today's short, we are talking about the Valley of Despair.
I have been talking to so many of you that are building these incredible wedding businesses. A lot of you are reaching out. Saying, "Brandee, it feels like such a weight right now. I feel like I'm kind of finding success, but then it all falls apart."
Or...
I feel like I am booking lots of business, but I don't know how to build a team, or, I have been doing social media consistently, but it doesn't seem like that's working and it can be so frustrating, right?
And this is oftentimes what we call the Valley of Despair. I have been to the valley and lived to tell the tale. :)
May this Short of the Wedding Pro CEO Podcast be helpful to anyone who finds themselves in that dry Valley of Despair.
Keep going!

I want to talk to you about your biggest obstacle in your business. When somebody asks you what are you struggling with, what do you feel like is the thing that's really holding you back the most in your business?
How would you answer that question?I bet you'd say things to me like:
I can't get enough clients.
I'm not really sure if my pricing is right.
I'm trying to build a team, but I'm not sure what to do next.
I want to make more profit in my business.
I wanna pay myself more.
But here's what I think the answer is. I think the biggest obstacle in your business is you. Listen now and agree or disagree but promise to let me know why.

I am answering all of your most burning questions.
A few weeks ago, I dropped a thread in our community on Facebook, the Wedding Pro CEO Community, and I asked you if we were having a cup of coffee at a cute little cafe, what would you want to ask me?
What questions do you have to help you take your business to the next level?
And today I'm answering some of those questions right here on the podcast.
Here are your questions:
*1. "What is the number one thing you would do if you were trying to quit your job and go full-time?"
"How can we develop a strong routine where we keep ourselves accountable to get things done on a daily basis instead of getting distracted by our personal life?"
"How long before you actually understood all the things about a legit budget?"
4. "What has been your biggest struggle personally while building your business?"

Learn why a vision board is not be the most effective way to reach your goals. This episode is about Vision Boarding: Why it's ineffective and what to do instead. A vision board has no plan and no time frame, so it doesn't give you the ability to reach your goals. Instead, setting goals and creating a plan to achieve them is the best way to reach success. The goal should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-specific.

As you're going into a new year, it's so important to do a year in review, not only to assess if you met your goals or if you had any goals that you fell short on, and still want to pursue.
You also need to consider, what were the things that weren't even a goal? They weren't even on your radar at this time last year? But you were able to, take advantage of some really cool opportunities throughout the year.
Those can be forgotten so often, and so it's important to give yourself those wins!
Listen in for inspirations to reflect and be thankful for all that you have accomplished in your business!

And one of the really incredible things about engagement season is that it is the same for basically the entire United States and that's because of all of our holidays that fall During that time. Some refer to this as, "booking season" but we refrain from using that sales term when advertising our service to clients.

I get asked this question a lot, which is, "If I was starting my business today.... right? [I've been in business 15 years, almost 16 years, which sounds crazy] but if I was starting my business today, starting all over, what would I do differently or what just would I do?"
That's an interesting question. I really thought about it and I came up with three things that I would do.
Let me know what you think. :)

Let's talk about overhead. This is almost like a dirty word in the wedding industry, right? Very often, when I sit down with a new wedding pro business owner that is ready to scale their business, one of the first conversations we have is about their numbers.
When I ask, "Okay, tell me about your overhead."
The answer I notoriously get is, "Well, I don't really have much overhead. Like a couple things here and there."
I follow with, "Well. We're going to actually show that you have a ton of overhead by the end of this conversation."
Listen now as I talk about the majority of overhead in the wedding industry is LABOR and how to navigate and control this expense.

A business niche is a specialized or focused area of a broader market that businesses can serve to differentiate themselves from the competition. A niche strategy includes selecting your target audience, defining an unmet or underserved need, researching your customer base, creating a business plan, and marketing your business to your specific audience.
In this episode, I had the pleasure to sit down and talk with Kelly Ann Peck, who is a business coach for events pros at Emerson Reese Creative, where we had a comprehensive and extensive talk about understanding your niche, the dos and don’ts in creating the niche process, and the importance of focusing on your niche area.

Today I’m talking to business strategist and long time wedding pro, Kristina Stubblefield. She’s finding ways to use all her experience to address two simple demands in the industry. 1. Engaged couples need access to who they want to hire. 2. Wedding pros need to connect with their ideal clients. Kristina’s found a platform get all these folks in the same room.
Doesn’t this create a lot of competition for vendors? While you might think so, Kristina is unpacking why community over collaboration is more than a warm fuzzy hashtag. It’s what happens when you prioritize relationships and serving in your biz.
Also key in this episode is the reminder to “slow down to speed up”. It may sound weird, but if you are rolling out - say - a new offer or community, you have to check your budget first. Yes for the cash, but maybe more importantly time. Can you be consistent in showing up to serve? Answering that question could save your sanity!

A few weeks ago one of my CEO Mastermind members showed me a Reel she had that was blowing up!
Over 12k views in an hour! Whoa! It was so exciting (especially because I've spent 8 months trying to get her to start making reels!).
When she asked what was causing this one to blow up, I had to give the honest answer that "no one really knows why some reels go viral and others just die". Outside of the basic 101 elements like use great lighting, be easy to understand and provide great value, some reels just take off for no reason.
BUT...as business owners, we shouldn't really care how many views our reels get. GASP. I know....it's super fun to see that number climb. But at the end of the day, we aren't trying to become influencers. We need buying clients or we're out of business.

Being an entrepreneur can be incredibly lonely.
Even with the most supportive friends and family cheering you on, it's hard for them to understand exactly what you go through on a daily basis of running your business.
And while Facebook groups and online forums are great for connecting with other like minded entrepreneurs, there is something incredibly powerful about breaking bread and talking shop with other CEOs just like you!
Today I'm talking about the power of in person community. Why it's imperative to your business success and your mental health as a CEO.
AND I'm offering 1 last opportunity to join us at The Wedding Pro CEO Summit this August in Orlando, FL! A powerful 3 days to build community in person with other like minded CEOs and educators to help you build the profitable business you've always dreamed of!

As business owners, we often forget that our service isn't about us...it's about them. We have a solution to the problem our ideal clients have.
Not only is it necessary to know what problem you solve BEFORE you create your business, it's even more necessary as you start to sell your services. Why does someone NEED your business? Why can they not live without you? How will you make their life easier, better, etc...?
In today's episode of The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast, I'm talking with Eddie Babbage, creator of Timeline Genius all about how he founded TG, what gave him the idea and how he has grown his company to be one of the most used tools in the wedding industry! His story will definitely surprise you and inspire you to grow your own company even further!!

Before I used Interact for both of my businesses, I thought I could just sit down, pop out a few questions, write some cute answers, and be done — but it actually made me sit down and critically think about my clients’ journey in ways I didn’t imagine.
Interact, I believe, is really changing the game when it comes to quizzes. Since using Interact, I’ve been able to go into consults more confident because I’m more informed about their goals and current situation. It’s helped me navigate conversations with potential clients in a more efficient way.
Josh, the founder of Interact, is here to expand more on this and why quizzes, and specifically a robust software like Interact, can help you gain more leads (and book more clients) with ease and efficiency!

Today's episode is an incredibly important one because we're talking about women in wealth and finances. As young women become more financially savvy, being included more in the board rooms, and wealth is evening between men and women, there's a bigger need to offer resources that help us women navigate the world — a world where industries are still constructed around the way men think about and use money.
This is the exact support Bernadette Girvin and Michelle Taylor provide with Women In Wealth.
Today, they're going over questions you can ask your potential financial advisor so you can find a right-fit relationship, why investments are important, and how to tailor your financial goals to your business and lifestyle.

Today I’m sitting down with Kristy Rice of Momental Designs and Paint Crush to talk about something I struggle with a lot: the guilt of balancing being a mom, CEO, wife, mentor for your team, and just all the things.
This might be one of my favorite episodes to date because Kristy keeps it so real and unapologetic in this episode. It’s something many of us deal with but don’t talk about a lot, so I found talking to her refreshing, encouraging, and hopeful. If you also deal with parent/entrepreneur guilt, I know you’ll feel the same.
LISTEN FOR THESE NUGGETS DURING THE SHOW:
Meet Kristy Rice and listen to her journey into the wedding invitation and art space!
Integration versus compartmentalization as a business owner and parent.
Getting creative (and a bit weird) when balancing your time and family time.
Letting go of the guilt for reserving time for yourself.
Figuring out that “thing” that fills your cup and creating pockets of moments for alone time.
Working ahead so you can spend time with your family.

I'm sure some of you have seen me sharing on Instagram about my 12-year old daughter starting her own business. If not, you can check out her business page here (her reels are hysterical!). As you can imagine, starting a business while still in middle school presents its own challenges, but as we've been working with her on all of her start up, I realized how many similarities there are to any of us starting a business as well! So in today's short, I'm sharing the top 3 lessons we can learn from a 12-year old entrepreneur and how to apply them to our own businesses!

In today's age of social media, it's easy to look like you have a thriving business and you have all of the expert tools! But what about actually having those tools when you need them?
Exposure is wonderful and being visible is a huge piece of a successful business but development for yourself as a business owner, leader and CEO is imperative to making sure your business is built on a solid foundation.
Take some time to assess your development and look for areas where you can improve your foundation! You definitely don't want to be overexposed but underdeveloped!

It’s a special episode because Margaux is opening up about the incredible challenges she went through while she was running her business, including undergoing treatment for Stage IV cancer, and how these challenges became the inspiration behind the way she runs her businesses.

Our guest today, Irene Tyndale, is one of the most positive and encouraging people I know, and I’m thrilled that you’re here to tune in to our conversation today!
In this episode, Irene shares her story about she went from getting fired from working at a hotel to one of Georgia’s most successful wedding planners and business mentors. She is also talking about a topic that I actually don’t focus on a lot, but definitely needs time in the spotlight: being of service to your clients as someone who works in a service-based job.

In today's short, I'm following up from last week's episode to share with you HOW I got out of the muck. What I did to take a step back, look at my business from the top down and re-assess what things needed to stay on my plate and which needed to be re-delegated.

Don’t worry if you’re not a wedding planner or even in the wedding industry — this episode is for everyone in all stages of business.
Today, we’re talking about the three mistakes creative entrepreneurs make when starting and scaling their business, plus what to do to overcome them. These aren’t tips that are super tangible, but rather overlooked yet powerful mental shifts that we all have to make as CEOs.

Friends, we are in for a treat today because we have the one and only Jennifer Taylor in the studio! For those of you who don’t know her already, I’m so excited for you to get to know her and the brilliant way she handles all the backend of running a wedding planning business.
As business owners, you know all too well that running your business isn’t as simple as serving your clients with your talents. It also requires you to wear many different hats, and some of those — like setting processes and systems in place — aren’t too fun.

As I’ve been getting much more interested in SEO and my companies’ strategy around it, I’ve been inviting more SEO experts to the podcast to learn along with all of you about SEO!
Before really getting into it, I didn’t think it was the most exciting topic — and I know I’m not alone in thinking that. However, after talking to some great SEO experts, like Adrienna McDermott who is our guest today, I’ve realized that SEO can actually be fascinating! (And not as scary as I once thought.)

You've likely heard over and over that as the CEO of your business you need to work ON your business more than you work IN your business. But what does that even mean? What is the difference between these tasks? In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I do during my CEO days and what I encourage my CEO Mastermind members to to do as well.

I think I speak for most of us — including me! — when I say that SEO (search engine optimization) can feel incredibly overwhelming and confusing. That’s right, I need this episode as much as anyone out there who has struggled with the SEO strategy aspect of the business!
As SEO expert for wedding professionals, Sara Dunn, will teach us today that SEO isn’t as simple as stuffing your website with a single keyword. There are quite a few pieces to the puzzle. However, she’ll also teach us that we often overcomplicate the process, especially if we’re just getting started on trying to rank better on Google!

Today's Thursday Short is focused on persistence. As an entrepreneur, do you take a "no" as no or do you see it as a way to re-route and re-focus your efforts to get that yes? Often we can feel like we're failing when someone tells us no but really it's just an opportunity for you to come back bigger and better next time!

I have not just one guest on the show today, but two amazing guests: Courtney Hopper and Dana Kadwell, the sisters and brains behind Hustle and Gather! Today, they’re sharing their incredible story about how they created their wedding businesses by using their very own funding from being teachers.
They went from not sure about how they were going to make their dreams come true to now, running several successful businesses with an entire team. I hope that this episode inspires you if you’re at a plateau in your business or just starting, to keep the grit and passion going, and maybe even hire on your first team member!

Marketing in a creative industry is a bit different than most other markets — listing out bullet points that explain our services isn't usually enough to help us book the type of clients we want to work with. So that's where emotional marketing comes in!

Friends, do I have a special guest for you today because we’re featuring someone who is excellent at sales calls! Meet Carissa Woo, founder and lead photographer of Carissa Woo Photography.
I am thrilled to have her in the studio because Carissa is an OG wedding pro. She's been in the wedding industry for over a decade, so you bet she is very familiar with growing and sustaining a business. What we’re focusing on today is a method Carissa developed after years of being in the industry: the 6 steps for mastering the sales call.
Many clients come to me dreading the idea of pitching a sale to their clients. But that’s often because they’re only thinking of the sleazy carmen sales tactics we’re all too familiar with. Carissa is completely reshifting our idea about sales with her unique soft selling approach, and she’s going to share that step-by-step method in today’s episode. So, grab your notebook and a big cup of coffee, and let’s dive in!

Seeing that we’re smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, I wanted to share my exact strategy (literally, step-by-step!) on how we stay consistent with our marketing strategy at my coaching business, Brandee Gaar, and my wedding planning company, Blush.
I knew I had to sit down and record this episode because it’s been a huge topic of interest in our CEO Mastermind Group. We are busy entrepreneurs, and it can feel impossible to keep up with our ever-growing to-do list. That is, unless you have a well-thought out plan.

I invited Braden Drake, a CA-licensed attorney and tax professional, to sit down in the studio to break down what it means to have a part-time versus full-time business. He is also going to demystify a lot of complicated (but necessary) topics such as what you actually need to set up your business legally, how to figure out what your tax implications are, and the truth about bookkeeping.
In reality, building a business often happens in stages, so you don't have to stress too much about which stage you're in right now, as long as you're striving towards your goals! But no matter if you are a part-time, full-time, or soon-to-be full-time business owner, one thing is sure: you should be treating your business like a business!

Maybe our guest for today seems familiar to you, and you would be right! We’ve had the lovely Amanda Shuman of Carrylove Designs on the She Who Dares podcast before to talk about the 4 Phases of Creating a Cohesive Brand.
And today, we’re taking a deeper dive into that conversation because we are talking about the two rebrands my businesses just went through!
That’s right — both Blush and my own coaching business just went through a rebrand process with Carrylove Designs. It’s been such an enlightening experience, and I learned so much about my brands that I wasn’t aware of before. So, I knew I had to get Amanda on the podcast to talk more in-depth about my own experience, and also what you can expect if you decide to go through a rebranding process.
Plus, stay tuned for a giveaway opportunity!

Alan Berg is a speaker, author, and sales trainer and he recently published a new book called Why Are They Ghosting Me? Wedding & Event Pro Edition: 9 Reasons Why They're Not Replying To Your Emails and Messages — And How to Fix Them. As the title suggests, he covers nine of the most common reasons you’re getting ghosted and detailed tips on how to fix them.
Though his book is geared towards wedding and event professionals, I know you’ll still get a ton of useful information from this episode if you have any type of service-based business. Because although it seems like a harmless metric, the ratio of inquiries to bookings you receive can tell you a lot about how you can improve your customer experience. In the episode, Alan shares why this is the case and gives us a glimpse into the tips he mentions in his book to avoid frequent ghosting.

Today's conversation is about a topic that is very close to my heart: Instagram! And sure, some people may roll their eyes because when we think of Instagram these days we tend to think of influencers, mass followings, and sponsorships. But for those of us in the wedding industry, Instagram is used for a completely different reason.

My guest today is Michelle Seiler Tucker, and if you don’t already have the pleasure of knowing her, I am thrilled to introduce you all to her! Michelle is the author of Exit Rich, the founder and CEO of Seiler Tucker The Business Authorities, and certified (ready for it?) Merger & Acquisition Master Intermediary (M&AMI), Senior Business Analyst (CSBA), and M&A Advisor (CBB). With over 20 years of experience in business acquisition, it’s safe to say she knows her stuff!
In our conversation, we talked about having exit strategies. If you’ve been a listener for even just a short amount of time, you know how passionate I am about teaching entrepreneurs they should always know the destination of their company so they can build a business rather than a job. And with that, comes knowing your exit strategy.

The truth is, PR is an important player in business growth and so today, we'll share how PR can help you build authority to your brand and why it may be necessary for your business. I know you'll love this episode so sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Since we’re at 100 episodes, it felt like the perfect moment to talk about a pattern I’ve noticed as I’ve been coaching a lot of wedding professionals lately, and that’s the three stages of business.
In my own businesses, I can see these phases play out, and I believe it’s really important to distinguish which stage you’re at so you can listen to relevant advice and do the things you need to do to move the needle forward in your business, sustainably. Enjoy!

Most of you who clicked on this episode today are already familiar with the intelligent, creative, and brilliant Shannon Underwood! Shannon is the co-creator of the Wedding MBA, one of the largest education conferences in the country!
I love this episode because we take a little trip back in time to visit the days when Shannon was a little girl and her parents created what would soon be known as one of America's largest bridal shows.
We talk a lot about how the show has changed since then, her process of acquiring educational speakers, and the overall goals of the Wedding MBA. Then, Shannon gives a ton of great tips on how to get the most out of your conference experience, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned attendee.

Friends, do I have a special episode for you today! Julie Novack, the CEO and co-founder of PartySlate is here today to talk about all things digital marketing.
I met Julie at the David Tutera Experience and I’ve had several interactions with her on Clubhouse, but no matter how many times we talk, I’m always blown away by the vast amount of knowledge she has about digital marketing.
She is an absolute powerhouse, and I knew we had to have her on the podcast so she could provide you all with the same thing she gave me — clarity and insight about digital marketing that you can integrate into your business right now to grow and scale.

Friends, oh my!!! I have an exciting episode for you today! I had the honor of having David Tutera on the podcast and let me tell you — this man has no shortage of entertaining stories to tell and invaluable lessons to share.
What I love most about David, and why I wanted to have him on the podcast, is because he's demonstrated so much resilience and courage throughout his career. He's open about his past challenges because he's been able to find the humor in them, turn these challenges into lessons, put them into action, and he went on to conquer the wedding and events world.
No matter if you're just starting out on your entrepreneurial journey or you're a seasoned CEO, I know you'll learn so much from our conversation about resilience and courage.

Everyone tells us that networking will help our wedding business grow, but do you ever head home after a cocktail hour with a stash of bent business cards you have no idea what to do with?

That's why I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes and untold networking tips no one talks about. The steps you should take to actually build mutually beneficial relationships that help you open doors you couldn't open yourself.

From farm girl to financial advisor, Jennifer Radostis has an amazing story to share that led to entrepreneurship.

But more than that, she loves empowering women in their own entrepreneurial journey to teach them the art of LOVING the F-word (aka failure!)
Listen in as we discuss the grit it takes as a woman to be an entrepreneur and mindset shifts we need to grow from failure.

Welcome to Episode 72!!
Tamara is an integrator queen from sunny Orlando, Florida who is the backbone behind my brands!
Her business operations background, alongside her powerhouse team of VAs, is what literally keeps my business running day-to-day.
Most wedding professionals hear about a VA and say "Yes, please!" but aren't sure what level of support we can get beyond that.
Today, Tamara's walking us through three roles that can support your business based on the level of your operations. These are roles you might not have even known existed, but once you figure out what they can do, will have you outsourcing as quickly as you can!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Episode 71!
Christine Hughey's started her Downtown Nashville food tour, A Little Local Flavor, with the goal to put at least $1million dollars back into locally owned businesses (with a $0 ad budget and 136 other tour companies in the city).
So she decided that extremely high-quality service would be most important for her to STAND OUT!
Pre-pandemic they were rated 5 out of 152 tour companies in Nashville. And in August of 2020 on TripAdvisor, they ranked in the top 10% of attractions worldwide.
She accomplished this all with word of mouth, five-star reviews, and a five-star experience.
In today's episode, we are talking about the little things in your business.
How they add up, why they matter in your business, and steps you can take to earn those raving reviews.
And specifically, how your street cred can carry you through any difficult season in your business—even a pandemic.

Welcome to Episode 70!
Instagram reels are not going anywhere anytime soon.
What I hear from wedding pros avoiding them like COVID—other than not wanting to dance—is they don't have time.
But guess what? With reels, you don't have to create new content. You just have to create the same content you're already making in a new way.
In today's episode, I'll walk you through three ways our brands are using reels in a super simple way to boost our organic website traffic.
If you're stuck with where to start, go over to my Making a Reel Plan. Grab 101 reels prompts to start growing your organic strategy right now.

Welcome to Episode 69!
Earning six figures doesn't equal success. I am passionate about you defining success on your own.
But as I connect with more wedding planners, I know a lot of planners still trying to figure out how to even make an income from their business.
It makes me think back to my days as a solopreneur and what I did to scale to six figures over the past several years.
So I'm taking you behind the curtain and sharing the three integral pillars you need to scaling multiple six figures in your wedding planning business.

I've made more money in my business ignoring the algorithm than forcing it to "work" for me.
So take a second to stop tracking how your Instagram post is performing and learn to approach content in a fresh new way.
Kathy Young, copywriter, and owner of Rekindle Communications, helps creatives and visionaries build connections through a unique brand message.
She's also the copywriter for my personal coaching brand.
In today's episode, we talk about how to ditch the content overwhelm, care less about the algorithm, and share your brand story instead.

SWD Podcast Episode 13 with Rebekkah Rosado
SWD YouTube Episode 13 with Rebekkah Rosado
Today's planned episode of the She Who Dares podcast will not air as scheduled. Instead, I would like to invite you to listen to Episode #13.
Yesterday I learned of the passing of my good friend, Rebekkah Rosado after a long battle with cancer and GvHD.
If you didn't know Rebekkah, she was such a bright light that radiated joy wherever she went!!
She was a wedding planner, a floral fairy and a vintage styling goddess! She was a fierce boss lady who knew how to command a room and make you feel like you were the only one in it all in the same moment.
She inspired everyone around her to feel empowered, bold, excited and eager.
I shared with Rebekkah many times how much in awe of her I was as I watched her come into the Orlando wedding market like a fireball and make her presence forever known with her huge smile and even bigger hugs.
I was honored to have had a chance to spend an afternoon with Rebekkah in December of 2019 to chat about her business, her battle with cancer and how the preparation for her fight against this disease made Runway Events even stronger.
So while I am not sure the best way to pay an adequate tribute to this beautiful soul, I am 100% positive that listening to this episode with my friend Rebekkah Joy Rosado will inspire you to live your biggest dreams out loud.
Please click the links included to listen to Episode 13 with Rebekkah Joy Rosado.

Welcome to Episode 62!
Finishing 2020 feels like we're finally getting off a roller coaster from crazy town!!!
As I sat down to record this episode, I realized there were so many hard things about this year. But there were also so many amazing blessings that came from it.
If somebody asked me to describe 2020 - I would say it was a year I'll never forget.
During this episode - I’m sharing three reasons why this year was a blessing in disguise. Not only for me, but also for our company, for our clients for our vendor partners.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Episode 61!
Vincent Pugliese started his photography career as a sports journalist in New York. He met incredible sports legends like Tom Brady, Muhamid Ali, and Lebron James.
After being passed up for a raise and with a baby on the way, Vincent had to pivot his career towards entrepreneurship to make ends meet. So he fell into the world of wedding photography.
He spent years creating a successful reputation as a wedding photographer in Evansville Indiana. In the process, he discovered his true passion: coaching wedding professionals to create successful businesses.
He launched his first book Freelance to Freedom and shortly after created his membership Total Life Freedom. TLF is community of driven entrepreneurs who want to achieve a life of time, money and location freedom.
In this episode, we talk about learning when it's time to transition your business, what it means to create a life of freedom, and guiding the next generation do the same.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Episode 60!
By definition, a “mompreneur” is simply a mom, who runs a business from home while full time taking care of her children. But I'd rather choose to be called business owner. I am a CEO that happens to have kids. I'm also a mom. But I am not a mompreneur.
In this episode, we cover practical ways I've found a balance between being a mom and a business owner. Because the truth is - there is no such thing as work-life balance. There's always something in your life that will give and take. The trick is choosing priorities for what does.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
It's Episode #52!!
I can't believe that we've been doing this podcast thing for a FULL YEAR now! The past 51 episodes have been so incredible and I've been blessed with the most amazing guests in season 1 of the show!
In today's episode I'm sharing 10 times, over the last year, that we had to take 'messy action' to get to where we are today.
We made mistakes, we did things the hard way or the wrong way as we learned but guess what?? All of it got us to where we are now because we continued to put 1 foot in front of the other and learn by jumping into the game.
I'm excited to share with you the messy middle as we build the She Who Dares podcast and our community! I hope by hearing some of the BTS craziness that we have experienced, it will inspire you to go out and chase your dreams. Before you've got it all figured out!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Great business decisions don't always make great life decisions.
In today's episode I'm sharing about the importance of aligning your personal goals with those of your business.
As your business grows, so do the opportunities that will come your way. And when you don't have a clear picture of what you want your life to look like, you can say yes to things that are fabulous for your business but do not align with the vales of your personal life.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Social media can get a really bad rap. I mean Facebook is where everyone has an opinion and gets overly political, Instagram is super perfect and unrealistic and TikTok uses too many curse words!
But if done well, Facebook groups can have a HUGE benefit to your bottom line!
In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 steps to closing sales from Facebook groups, right in your DMs!
This little change we did in our business has increased our sales by more than 20% AND shortened our sales cycle to less than 48 hours.
Ready to find out how to increase your sales all through social??
PS...if you don't already use an online scheduler, I HIGHLY recommend Acuity Scheduling. Here is my link to download Acuity: https://acuityscheduling.com/?kw=YToxOTAwMjEzMA%3D%3D It will make scheduling consults, details meetings, vendor meetings and so much more simple and easy!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Nicole Nieves is a POWERHOUSE you guys! I mean that with every fiber of my being. I met Nicole when she and I were in a group coaching program together with Jenna Kutcher.
Nicole drops more than a dozen golden nuggets in this episode (literally I couldn’t write fast enough to keep up so thankfully I could re-listen to the recording) but one of my very favorites is that if people wanted to buy from a brand they would buy from a big brand. They buy from small business because they relate to your story. They relate to who you are and what your message is.
Friends, please don’t miss this episode. If you’re multi-tasking during this one, you’ll need to hit pause a LOT because there are just so many take aways!
Nicole also has a special treat for all of my listeners! Her top tips for building your personal brand and how to incorporate it into your business.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Jordan entered the event industry when he bought a catering company with only the ability to make a good ham and cheese sandwich.
After the company inevitably failed, Jordan used his wedding industry knowledge and connections to move over to the venue sales side of things, first at a beach front property and then at the historic home and art museum of John and Mable Ringling.
It was during this time that Jordan created a series of networking and celebratory events that eventually became Suncoast Wedding and Event Leaders.
After leaving the Ringling, Jordan took SWEL from a fun side project to a full-time gig by adding a membership option and taking the bi-annual events and making them monthly.
During the pandemic, SWEL has shifted into a digital format with monthly webinars and zoom networking.
I had so much fun chatting with Jordan during this episode because he shares so much about his journey and how his failures became lessons that have helped him succeed! We also talk about the importance of continuing education and Jordan shares a few of his favorite tips to take the fear out of networking events!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
With more than 25 years in sales, marketing and sales management, Alan Berg has been called “The Leading International Expert on the Business of Weddings & Events”.
Alan has extensive sales, sales management and marketing experience ranging from publishing two wedding magazines, to Vice President of Sales at The Knot. He’s an Education Expert for WeddingPro and consults for major industry websites in Ireland, Dubai, India, Australia, the UK, as well as countless venues, hotels, bridal shops, planners, entertainers and more.
I love this episode because I get to have a casual conversation with Alan about how he got his start in sales (which started in the car business) and how the heck he transitioned to the wild world of weddings.
We talk about everything from how he taught himself Spanish and can now do full presentations in 2 languages to his crown of books (you’ll have to listen in for that one!) and the time he played bass with Pink’s drummer!!!
The man who thousands of event industry business owners go to for training, knowledge and industry advice is so down to earth and I can’t wait for you guys to get to know more about one of my favorite authors, Alan Berg!

Dr. Hans Boateng joins Brandee in this episode! Have you ever wondered, can money buy me happiness?? I think at one time or another we all have thought "if I could only have more money, I would be happier". And while I don't personally believe that MONEY buys happiness I DO think the UNDERSTANDING of money can make you a whole lot happier!
My guest this week is Dr. Hans Boateng, The Investing Tutor, and he is one of the most well-respected investing tutors in the Country. Dr. Hans earned his Path of Distinction MBA from William and Mary and holds a Doctor of Pharmacy from St. John Fisher School of Pharmacy. Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa. He recognizes the lack of investment literacy in immigrant households. When he discovered how rich families build their fortune using the stock market, he decided to become an investor. After reading 400 books, 40,000 financial articles and spending 11 years pursuing mastery, Dr. Hans now teaches his proven strategies. He has impacted the lives of countless professionals and placed many families on the path to Generational Wealth. He is the most trusted investment tutor in the country.
This episode is truly one of my very favorites so far because I believe with all of my soul that as business owners if we can understand money, we would be able to have a much greater opportunity for both financial and time freedom!

This week's episode is a bit different from other She Who Dares episodes as it originally aired as a 10 @ 10. In case you don't know, 10 @ 10 is my daily live video series on Facebook and Instagram. Every weekday at 10am EST I go bring you a quick business bite and a dose of encouragement to start your day!
Check out the original 10 at 10 of this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1OhafEZMjqI
This topic was a fun one to record because it is the #1 question I get asked! "How do I get on your vendor list?" or "How do I get on the preferred vendor list of... that planner, that venue, that vendor???"
I'm going to break down 5 ways you can:
Introduce yourself to a new planner
Get to work with said planner
AND
How to get them to love you and refer you over and over!!
Time Stamps:
7:40 - Tip #1 Common Denominator Introduction
9:52 - Tip #2 Give Away Service
12:50 - Tip #3 Refer Them
14:00 - Tip #4 Be Easy to Work With
19:10 - Tip #5 Follow up
And just as an added bonus, around the 20 minute mark I also drop the top habits you must absolutely STOP doing when trying to work with a new wedding planner. Seriously....like right now! Just stop. :)
Sound too good to be true?? I promise these methods are tried and true and you'll be rolling in referrals in no time!

I know what you're thinking...I can't hire someone because I don't have the money. Or I don't even know where to look. Or no one can do it as well as I do it so I need to just do it all on my own.
Friend, let me tell you, this is all false!
When you hire someone to help take tasks off of your plate that aren't in your zone of genius, you will see that it frees up SO much time for you to be amazing, creative and so much more efficient that your company growth will be exponential!!
In this episode I'm breaking down the 6 steps to identifying, preparing for and making your first hire.
I know it's scary. I know it's taking a leap of faith. But I promise with intentionality and thought it will change your business forever!

He talks about the first few years of starting Arthur's and how at one point he didn't think he could continue as he and his business partner were wearing ALL THE HATS and they were exhausted! Some sound advice from a mentor lead them to hire their first employee and changed their business!

How often do you find yourself working IN your business instead of ON your business??
Most of the time we start our businesses because we really good and passionate about we actually do (photography, DJ, plan events, arrange flowers, etc...) but once you start your business we quickly see that to be successful it takes so much more!
Too often, businesses fail because they are not focused enough on building it for longevity and only focus on their trade.
To build a successful business, it's 100% necessary to spend time on building relationships, creating a brand, knowing and understanding your numbers and so much more!
In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 things that are imperative to the success of every small business!

Wendy Goelz Kopasa is the co-owner of Soundwave Entertainment. She has a big personality and a big heart and she knows her way around the business world! Wendy and her husband Les have built one of the largest and most well-respected event DJ firms in Central Florida and they are celebrating 19 years in business!!
In this episode you’ll hear how they started Soundwave….the beginning years when they had to be scrappy, work their side hustles and put in the long long days of balancing 9-5, balancing a family and building their dreams.
My favorite part of this interview is when Wendy shares how in the beginning of their business they really took any business that came their way (as most small businesses do when they’re starting out). But as they got busier and started to shell out a niche, they had to make the tough decision to turn down business that was no longer in their target demographic to really focus on building their brand and meeting their ideal clients needs.
If you are a new business owner or aspiring to be one (or you just love a great start-up story!) this episode is for you!

The stories of "overnight success" seem like they're coming out of the wordwork right now right?? It's like everywhere you look on social media you see an ad for how to work 2 hours a day and still make 7 figures while sipping a mai tai on the beach.
But what you don't see is the hard work that got them there! The 90+ hour weeks of blood, sweat and tears that went into building that passive income. The all nighters creating content or designing a new website or sales packet to just close 1 client!
Success is not built overnight and as a friend encouraged me through a text "Success only comes before work in the dictionary".
Hard work is just that...it's hard. But when you put in the time, even when you think no one is watching, it will pay off.
Right now during this time of "sheltering in place" we feel like there's no work to be done. No events are happening and most of the world has stopped. But I want to encourage you to use this time to work the hardest behind the scenes so when that client calls or sends you a web inquiry, you will be 100% ready to close the sale!
In this episode, I'm sharing 5 tips on how you can be working right now to ensure your business is ready for the success to come!
Are you ready to put in the hard work?? Listen now!

As most of the country moves into phase 1 of re-opening from the COVID pandemic, all of the anxiety and overwhelm of not knowing what the next weeks and months look like are rising back to the surface.
After 6 weeks of “sheltering in place”, most of us were beginning to find a new normal. And while I am SO thrilled to begin the journey back to normalcy, this messy middle of the phased opening leaves so many questions to be answered.
What activities exactly are included in phase 1?
When does phase 2 begin?
How soon will life return to pre-COVID? Or will it ever?
In an effort to calm my anxious thoughts, I have turned my focus to how I want to be remembered during this time.
Did we react to situations with empathy?
Did we make business decisions or decisions based on principle?
Did I support and encourage my fellow vendors riding this storm with me?
Did I take full advantage of this less hectic schedule with my family?
I’m excited for this episode as we look back at the last 6 weeks and look forward to the next several months of reopening our businesses after the most historic time in our World’s history!

Have you ever thought to yourself "I would love to start my own company and I know that I have so much to bring to the world but ... ___". Insert excuse here.
"I don't know where to start"
"I don't know how"
"I don't have the resources to start something new"
"What if I fail??"
There will always be a reason (or 20) to hold you back from reaching your dreams! But I encourage you to change these limiting beliefs into factual statements that will help you to see that you CAN accomplish anything you put your mind (and a plan!) to.

Today's episode is close to my heart. We're about 4 weeks into this quarantine and we're all going a bit stir crazy right??
When COVID really started to hit our industry on March 16th, it became glaringly obvious that this was going to be a bit "time out". All of the worry and anxiety we're all feeling started to creep in and we knew we had 2 choices. Roll over and hide while we waited to see how bad it was OR stand up and fight.
We chose the latter! Our team quickly pivoted to meet the need of our couples right where they are and do business a different way!
I hope this episode is encouraging and will inspire you to think differently. To do business differently. To stand up and fight for what you've built!!

Today I want to talk a little bit about being the new kid. Now I know some of you are probably like, “um…brandee. You’re not the new kid anymore so how do you think you can relate with those of us that are??”. But let me tell you…a true entrepreneur is never NOT the new kid ok?? The thrill for us is in the building stage…the exciting/tiring/overwhelming stage where you have a new idea, aren’t sure how to implement it or 100% sure what your end goal is but you dive in headfirst anyway giving it 1000% of your effort to be sure it succeeds. Sound familiar??
In this episode, I thought it might be fun to share a few tried and true lessons I’ve learned over the last 13 years to help shake the newbie dust off of your feet just a bit faster. After all, the purpose of this podcast is to peel back the curtain on not just my brands but of other successful entrepreneurs as well to share our startup stories so that it becomes real and so you can hear that you’re not alone when it comes to the hard part of being an entrepreneur!! No matter how bright and shiny Instagram says we are….we all have a story that lives behind the scenes!
Want to hear some of my tips and newbie horror stories?? Episode #20 is just for you!!

This week I sat down with Kathy Thomas of Kathy Thomas Photography and Collective 615.
I have to admit…Kathy and I do run in similar circles in our area and we have worked together a few times but we’ve never really gotten to know each other personally so I was super excited to get to spend some dedicated time asking her about her story, how she got into the wedding industry and how she took the leap from her corporate job to starting her own photography business.
The reason Kathy’s story intrigued me so much and I knew I had to have her on the podcast is because not only is she a fabulous, luxury photographer but she is the owner/creator of Collective 615….a female only co-working space in the heart of Music City!
I’ve been watching her social media and have asked her a few times via private DMs about this project and I have just been enamored with the concept since it’s inception. Why female only? Why a co-working space at all?? Isn’t the market already so saturated with big box co-working spaces??
In this episode Kathy tells it all! How Collective got its name, their concept and why they’re different from what’s currently on the market, how she knew there was a hole in the market for this type of workspace and how a trusted advisor told her not to do it!
This is a fun episode and I’m excited for you to hear it all!!

This week we’re switching things up a bit and playing for you a live presentation I gave at the Perfect Wedding Pros luncheon in Orlando recently. The topic I was asked to present was New Year, New You and as I pondered that topic I couldn’t help but think…I don’t want to just talk about making things shiny THIS year. 2020 is the start of a whole new decade. I have to really cast vision for what the next 10 years could look like because we all know that as entrepreneurs we can sometimes get caught up in just keeping all the balls in the air on the day to day….doing all the things! But I knew I was being given a golden opportunity to help us all to see past today, next month and even next year. What would our lives look like in the year 2030??

Jacob and Courtney Towe are the owners of DJJacobCo or soon to be JacobCoCreative.
Jacob is a sound engineer and the idea for their DJ company came with they were attending a friends’ wedding and Jacob said he could barely stand to be in the room because the DJ’s sound was so bad. It was then that he thought…you know I can do this better. He knew he could offer a superior DJ/sound experience for couples to elevate their wedding experience and so DJJacobCo was born!
In this episode, Jacob and Courtney will share how they have evolved their brand from DJ to fully immersive sound and lighting design for events. They travel the world producing events that create a playground for the senses! And the most amazing part of all of it?? It’s 100% solar powered! They require no power for their intense setups and often very little setup/strike time which is a planner's dream! They’ll also share how they calculate their carbon offset for each event they do to ensure the footprint they leave behind is as small as possible. Their 2 girls often travel with them and work behind the scenes to make JacobCoCreative a real family business.
Jacob and Courtney are paving a new path in our industry and I can’t wait to see where they go from here!

My guest today is Kristen Weaver of Kristen Weaver Photography and if you’ve seen any professional pictures of myself or my family from the last 5 years, you can bet Kristen took them! She has this way of making magic with her camera that makes her subjects look like supermodels! I’m not even kidding….if you could see the hijinx that actually happens and then see the images she creates….they’re just stunning!
Kristen shares with us that she’s really always been the girl with a camera….from childhood she was the one taking pictures of others and capturing the memories. But it was never a career path. Until one day, her hubby said: “ya know….let’s give this photography thing a shot!”. And Kristen Weaver Photography was born!
Kristen has mastered the art of online marketing with large followings on all of her social platforms including her latest endeavor….TikTok! With over 100k followers on the newest social craze in just a few weeks we talk about what TikTok means for businesses (or what it doesn’t mean!) and how her team comes up with the content they’ll share. We also chat about Kristen’s adversity to podcasts which is hysterical! But we know after this experience, she’ll be hooked to following along in the podcast world!
Grab a cup of coffee and settle in….this was a fun one!

UPDATE: This episode was recorded the year before the passing of my good friend, Rebekkah Rosado after a long battle with cancer and GvHD.
If you didn't know Rebekkah, she was such a bright light that radiated joy wherever she went!!
She was a wedding planner, a floral fairy and a vintage styling goddess! She was a fierce boss lady who knew how to command a room and make you feel like you were the only one in it all in the same moment.
She inspired everyone around her to feel empowered, bold, excited and eager.
I shared with Rebekkah many times how much in awe of her I was as I watched her come into the Orlando wedding market like a fireball and make her presence forever known with her huge smile and even bigger hugs.
I was honored to have had a chance to spend an afternoon with Rebekkah in December of 2019 to chat about her business, her battle with cancer and how the preparation for her fight against this disease made Runway Events even stronger.
So while I am not sure the best way to pay an adequate tribute to this beautiful soul, I am 100% positive that listening to this episode with my friend Rebekkah Joy Rosado will inspire you to live your biggest dreams out loud.
ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
Today I’m sitting down with Rebekkah Rosado as she shares with us how she built her company, Runway Events. In the last 3 years, she has also added The Runway Collection and Runway Botanical to be able to now offer vintage furniture and floral design for weddings and events.
In this episode, Rebekkah shares how her business has quadrupled since her diagnosis with Hodgkins Lymphoma which is completely mind-blowing! She shares how this diagnosis has helped her to slow down and to realize that she was doing the work of 4 full-time employees on her own and that to battle this disease she would need to hire, train, and trust.
I can’t wait for you to hear more about Rebekkah’s story. I promise you’ll be inspired!!

Today’s guest is Kristin Wilson, Owner of Our DJ Rocks and Photo Booth Rocks - 2 flourishing brands in the Central Florida Wedding Industry.

These ladies are talented, fresh and bring a new perspective to a male-dominated industry.
Kristin also shares about how she and her husband have set boundaries to help them protect their marriage from the stress of co-owning their own business. How they protect their time with their kids and to enjoy their personal lives outside of the DJ world.
Listen as Kristin shares her plans for the future of their brands and the goals she has in place to achieve them.
Our DJ Rocks is celebrating 10 amazing years and I’m excited for you to hear how this success story was built!

My guest today is Corrine Heck of Details Flowers Software. I have worked with Corrine for almost 10 years and when I thought who I wanted to kick off 2020 with, I knew it had to be her!
When Corrine and I worked together, she was an event florist and I remember that she would always tell me about a system she used to design and price her proposals. Back then it was all done in excel but over the last 5 years, Corrine has developed her system into a fully functioning floral planning and design software serving over 500 florists internationally!
Today she shares how she recognized a pain point in her industry, created a solution and created what we know today to be one of the fastest-growing floral software brands.
When we recorded this episode, it was exactly 1 month after Corrine had undergone major brain surgery to remove a tumor doctors had found in her head after a Summer of sporadic medical issues. Corrine believes (and I totally agree) that she is a living miracle after this surgery and that God has given her a special task of sharing her story to encourage others.
I hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as I do!

This episode takes a look at “Duck Syndrome”. Never heard of it?? Neither had I. But there is so much we can learn from ducks as to what NOT to do in our businesses. I break down 3 characteristics of a duck and how we can ensure we are not emulating this behavior.
The moral of the story is, don’t be a duck! After all, wouldn’t you rather be like an eagle soaring high above the crowd than like a duck furiously paddling to go nowhere fast??

I get these questions all the time…how did you start? How did you prepare to leave your full-time job? Do you still fear failure? When did you decide it was time to hire a team? How do you balance it all? Leading a team, mommyhood, being a wife, being involved in ministry and growing a thriving multi-branded business. And I LOVE these questions because I can share the honest, un-polished, real-life answers that help others to know they can do it too.
