Recognise Burnout and Don't Let it Beat You with Alison Wheeler

*'Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.'*
Michael Gungor

She is a world-renowned confidence coach, a multi-disciplined award-winning performance athlete, and a celebrated entrepreneur. Alison and her family now call the Gold Coast, Queensland home.

Alison is a published author, contributor and mentor. She has qualifications in Bachelor of Health Science, NLP trained, many coaching certificates in a multitude of different practices.

Reaching new levels of success in a way that works. No more burn-out, no more wondering when will I have the space to live my life.
Today We talk about burnout. What it can look like how to recognise it and what to do about it. We also look at how to prevent burnout, to begin with, because prevention is better than cure right?

156 Batching and Baking: Boosting Productivity with Time Management Techniques
Batching and Baking are the topics of the day and no I'm not talking cookies, though you are more than welcome to grab some while you listen.
If you want to save time in your day and reduce the context switching we spoke about in Ep 154 then Batching and baking are great ways to do it. I feel so much more organised and on top of things when I batch and bake. So give it a go and see how it feels.
Different techniques work for different people so it's important to give everything a go, and give it a fair trial to find what works. I say a 3-month trial of a new technique will let you get to grips with it explore and discover if it's a good fit for your lifestyle.
Do you already batch of bake? Let me know over on Insta, if you do neither let me know your favourite productivity hack/technique. @donna_eade_

155 The Myth of Work-Life Balance: Prioritizing How and What,and When
In this podcast, we explore the concept of work-life balance and why it is a myth. Many of us strive for balance, thinking that it will make us happier and more fulfilled. But in reality, true balance is almost impossible to achieve.
Instead, we need to focus on our values and priorities.
What is truly important to us? Is it spending time with our family and friends? Pursuing our passions and hobbies? Making a difference in the world? Once we have identified our priorities, we can start making intentional choices that align with those values.
Ultimately, the key is to be intentional and mindful about how we spend our time. We may never achieve perfect balance, but by aligning our actions with our values and priorities, we can live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
*Quote of the Week*
~ There is no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them and they have consequences. Jack Welch. ~If you want to discover what podcast style would suit you head over to https://becomeapodcaster.uk/bapquiz

All Change.
That makes me think of the underground 'All Change' and that is exactly what is happening in my world right now. So pour a cup of your favourite drink take a seat and let's do this.
I talked in episode 142 about how I was planning to change my year and make April 1st my new Jan 1st. Where I will set my goals for the year and look at things I want to change. So April 1st has been and gone so I'm sharing the change with you.
There are some MAJOR changes on the horizon for my business this podcast and my life and I'm not a huge fan of change as a rule. But I am really excited at the possibilities of these changes. So I hope you'll stick around and see how they pan out.

141 - 2023 Wedding Trend Report Summary
*2023 wedding trends you need to know*
Is it important to know the trends? I think so, knowing what people are wanting/ requesting for their day helps you know how to market yourself.
Imagine all couples were leaning toward bright bold colours for their wedding day that's the wedding trend of the year for colour and your website is covered in pastels! Your couples would think you can't cater for them because you aren't showing them what they want.
And although we say don't judge a book by its cover when you have 20 + suppliers to find and thousands of options, shop windows are going to be the first cull point. Even if you are their ideal supplier they'd never know because you didn't make it past the first cut.
So it's important to look at the wedding trend report to see what's happening and use it to your advantage to market your business.
In today's Episode:
* Be gone over filtered photography
* Hello Viva Magenta bye bye pastels
* The rise of the experience

139 - Unlock the Power of Advertising to Grow Your Business
It's a new year and a chance to look at how we will change our marketing this year. Part of marketing is advertising and this is something as an industry I don't think we have explored enough or taken advantage of it very well.
So today we will look at several forms of advertising and the ROI of each to help you decide where to put your advertising budget. You have got one of those right?
Where should you focus on Advertising this year?
I have done all of these forms of advertising over the years and I have to say HANDS DOWN the best advertising is word of mouth. You might agree you might not but if you do let me ask you.
Do you have a system to cultivate a collective of evangelists for your business? Because although WOM is powerful and the lowest cost advertising you can get it is also the most out of your control. A system will increase the cost but also increase your control and therefore increasing the overall ROI. Not sure what I'm talking about? Then listen in to the epis…

138 Start the New Year Off Right: Setting and Achieving Your 2023 Goals
It's a brand new year! Let's make it work for us.
Today we are talking about goal setting for the new year and we are looking at personal and business goals because the new year often brings new years resolutions and I want to challenge that today.
Post recording this (and a bonus for those who read the show notes ;) ) I heard resolutions referred to as intentions which I also much preferred to resolutions.
setting your intentions is a great way to start a day a week a month or a year. Intention lets you keep striving and are more forgiving of bumps in the road.
However you choose to label them, I hope yours get you to where you want to be by the end of the year.
So first we look at the words and why they matter
Next, we compare some of my and my daughter's resolutions and why one might be more successful than the other
Then, we look at SMART goals and why it's important that our personal and business goals are smart.

135 Turn your Passions in to Profits with Matt McWilliams
Today I get to chat with Matt McWilliams someone who's been in my world for around four years now. In online terms I've seen him around in different spots I'm on his emails list and take note of what's going on. Then one day around September time an email dropped in my inbox to say Matt was doing a book launch and would I be interested in helping out.
I'm a huge supporter of those I believe in and you guys have seen evidence of that with other guests I've had on the show. So I said absolutely, come on the show let's talk about it. So that's what we did! You can watch the video on YouTube as always or listen here.
Matt is a huge supporter of people who run large affiliate launches and is the go-to guy for everything affiliate but this book isn't about affiliate marketing it's about finding your thing and making it profitable for you. So, whether you are in the industry or thinking of getting into the industry this book is a must-read to avoid the pitfalls many of us make when we start…

133 - No such thing as work life balance
*The Work-life myth?*
Let's stop trying to find work-life balance but instead understand our why and make sure that everything is having its space when it needs it.

In today's episode:
* Work-life balance doesn't exist
* Work and life as a compass, there is always a push and pull
* Revisit your why
* Know your season and know when it stops

Client Communication?
There are a lot of keys in business, keys to attracting clients, keys to running a business, and keys to great reviews. I imagine this huge bunch of keys and all of us trying to find the right one at the right time and it sounds like a nightmare to me! However, thanks to the internet searching for the keys is a little easier.
And of course, this podcast is here to help with episodes aimed at highlighting the keys that work in our industry. Now client communication is a huge part of our industry. It's not like a retail shop where people go in browse, buy and leave and barely one word needs to be spoken by the company. In our industry communication is EVERYTHING. You need to understand what the client is looking for, you need to express how what you do can fulfil that need. So today let's dive deep into how we communicate.

126 Kelly Mortimer - Never Stop Learning or you'll Stop Growing
*Want to go your business? Then Never Stop Learning. *
When you look back on school life do you sit there and think that was a huge waste of time? Did you learn things you use now was it the education you thought you'd get?
Oftentimes people think school was a waste of time but I would say that even if the subject matter learning wasn't quite on point you'd have learnt a lot about people. The Bullies, the Over givers, the show-offs, the introverts, the creatives, the geeks etc. you will have come into contact with people from all walks of life with very different passions and ideals and that in itself was an education.
However often school can put people off learning or make them think they can't learn and what that does is keep people stuck. If you never stop learning you'll never stop growing. So I'd encourage you to look around at learning opportunities it's not like school when you become an adult for a start you get full control over what it is you want to learn.

Take relationship building seriously.
It is so important to build strong relationships both within the industry and outside of it. They can be the difference between success and failure. Why? Because when you are at your breaking point, ready to give up (let's face it we can all get there from time to time) it's those people you have forged strong working relationships and friendships with who will pick you up and shed new light on the situation.

116 Starting a Wedding Business: Research
Following my interview with Lucille Roache last week I bring you the Start your wedding business series along with last week's episode this is a 5 part series. I hope it helps you if you are starting or thinking of starting a wedding business.
If you already have a wedding business don't worry there is still info in here for you too.
So today with start with step one which is the research phase. The research I'm focused on here is market research. These days the need for something isn't really something you need to research because if you were looking to provide something that isn't being provided you'll be hard pushed to find that gap. However, that doesn't mean it's not viable because these days people like choice and especially in the wedding industry people buy people so there is always room for you because you are unique.

I failed!
They say failing to prepare is preparing to fail and that was my downfall here I think.

We'll they are in and it's not good.
Where did it all go wrong?
Changing habits or creating new ones isn't easy. when you fall into a routine that has been the same for years it's hard to break it and change it. So today I admit my failings and I hope it shows you that if at first, you don't succeed it's not time to give up, it's time to change tack and try again

* Why my routines failed
* What will I change going forward
* What worked
* What won't work

Write yourself a contract and treat yourself well! You deserve time off without the guilt and stress attached to it.
In this episode:

* The benefits of taking holiday

111 Where did all the time go?
*Where did all the time go!*
It's hard when you are in business for yourself by yourself. You're doing the roles of 7 or more people and you only have 24 hours in the day. So why do we beat ourselves up so much about not being able to do it all?
Today I want to address the life we are missing out on when we bury ourselves in work and how we might look at our diaries and get the aliment back on track. No that doesn't mean balanced because balance doesn't exist!
*In this episode:*
* Work life balance isn't a thing.
* What does your calendar currently look like?
* What is most important to you?
* How taking on more work might be the answer.
* Take time to smell the roses.

101 Supporting Sustainability in our Businesses
It's all about the Bees
And why not! I'm a big fan of Bees, though I do have a confession, listen right to the end of the episode to hear it.
So this week I bought Helen Rogers in to talk to us about how we might look at helping bees as part of our sustainability efforts in our businesses and in helping our clients. Wedding planners especially listen up.
Save the Bees?
Today our guest Helen Rogers a Bee Keeper from North London let's us in on some secrets and myths about bees. As well as helping us understand how we can help the 270 species of Bees found here in the UK. At the end I make a big confession to Helen too so stick around for that.
In todays episode we'll cover
* A look at Helen's Bee Business
* Why having a hive isn't the best way you can help
* the importance of planting the right flowers
* Favour ideas that can incorporate Bee Products
The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.

094 Evening routines are just as important as morning ones
Improving my evening routine.
I'm a night owl self confessed. I have more energy in the afternoon I'm slow to get going but once I start I could keep going into the wee small hours. That being said working into the wee small hours isn't good for the body in a number of ways so I'm looking to adjust my patterns by creating a good evening routine that will give me good sleep followed by a good morning routine.
In today's show, we will be discussing ...
* What depression and self care looked like for me two years ago.
* How understanding your circadian rhythm can help you understand your energy better.
* What apps I use.
* What my evening routine plans are.

092 Working with your intuition for more financial success
*What does financial success look like to you?*
Stop looking at what everyone else is saying and doing instead look within what do you need what do you want and what does that translate to as a financial sum of money? Until you know what you are wanting you can't go out an get it. Money blocks come in many shapes and sizes and unfortunately are usually ingrained in us in childhood and well just as it's hard to break the habit of going to the toilet before bed it's really difficult to stop believing something you were told over and over again.
In today's show, we will be discussing ...
* Intuition what is it and how does it show up?.
* What do you really want and why?
* Using journaling to break through those money blocks.
* Giving your inner voice it's own space to speak to you.

Although as I talk about in the episode I'm not advocating going outside your house and screaming I'm not ok (though if it helps you feel better I totally advocate a scream session!)

What milestones will you set for 2022?
As we look back and look forward it's a great time to evaluate exactly what we what from our businesses. I hear a lot of people talking about financial freedom and earning mega bucks especially in the online world but there is something to be said for being content and happy in the now. Maybe that means I won't be what others consider financially successful but for me my ultimate goal is to enjoy my family and be able to afford to do that. That doesn't take millions of pounds. So think long and hard about what you truly want and how your business can help you get there.
In today's show, we will be discussing ...
* Review the terminology your use goals vs milestones
* Take a look back on 2021

Small changes make big impacts so even the little things make a difference. Have you heard the saying look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves?

The biggest change comes when everyone focuses on the one thing but a huge impact can be made with many people focusing. Be one of the many

064 Let's Collaborate with Henriette Danel
Henriette Danel is a strategic business coach who primarily helps service-based business owners attract more clients consistently. Today on the show she dives into the pitfalls of collaborations and how to make the most of them.
When we collaborate we need to consider the 4 Cs
~ Choose
~ Clarity
~ Communication
~ Commitment
Choose ~ your collaborators wisely, vet them. You need to find people with the same energy as you the same mindset as you but with different skillsets. What is it they can bring to the table? It's important that the match on an energy level if you don't match you could find you end up doing all the work while they coast along.
Clarity ~ ensure everything is clear between all parties. What is expected of everyone what is the goal you are trying to achieve? For most people, it's more visibility so make sure the strategy for getting that is laid out and agreed to.
Communication ~ is key. Once everything has been verbally confirmed clarify everything in an email. M…

063 How to get the cash flowing inside your business
Get cash flow moving with payment plans?
I'm no financial advisor so do speak to your accountant before implementing a payment plan.
Example your contract says cancellations 6 months before the wedding with incur 50% of the fees being forfeited by the couple, a cancellation 3 months before the wedding will incur 75% of fees being forfeited by the couple and any cancellation in the final month will result in 100% of the fee being forfeited
So you need to make sure you have the right money in your account at those cancellation points. Go back to your legal fairy godmother ep048 for more details
So taking our example of £300 retainer and a £1500 package based on a booking 18 months out for the wedding date 7th Jan 2023 they book and pay the retainer in July 2021. The retainer is a separate fee it is paid at the time of booking I would suggest a 14 day cooling off period after which that money is non-refundable. That money is then part of your cash flow.
Option 1:

Is podcasting the missing key in your content catalogue
I love podcasting, I think I always fancied being a radio presenter and now I get to host and produce my own show which is pretty cool.
Aside from being something I enjoy it is highly valuable to my business and creates a vast amount of content for me to use. I don't even use it to its full potential yet myself so there is always more you can do with it.
This is why I think it might be what's missing from your content catalogue. Podcasting is still small in comparison to blogs and videos with around 1 million podcasts worldwide. The UK host a very small percentage this time last year UK podcasts made up just 6% of all podcast shows. So that means lots of potential. You can also start a podcast with zero outlay!
My number 1 reason for suggesting a podcast to you is the repurpose potential of your podcast. There are so many ways you can break it down and share it that you can literally have around 3 weeks worth of content from 1 episode.

Social media and the IOS update with Caz Wilson
Social media tip #1 Go All In!
Pick one or two platforms to go all in on them. Make sure you use the breadth of options on them, so instagram for example, posts igtv, stories and reels. You might shy away from reels but they are getting incredible reach you don't have to dance around if you don't want to. Do a behind the scenes, take snapshots of your work and pull them together Caz uses In Shot for editing her reels videos then adds music and up loads in the instagram app. You don't have to be full face on screen but sharing you does help build trust with your viewers.

Social media tip #2 Be Consistent
When people ask gurus how do I be Consistent they often say Batching and batching is great if it works for you but it's not for everyone. Another way is to theme your days so you have an idea of what you will post on each day that helps with the creativity.

Evolve your Brand with Marie Louise
Once your Branding is done it's done. Right?
It's wrong to think that you do your logo once and that it's stuck in stone forever more and it doesn't change that's just not the reality. You know your business changes in theory you should be updating your business plan every so often and I think in a similar way you should review your branding.
Same with your website, that's not something that is just stays in one way and then you never do anything with it. You're constantly tinkering with the message. You're updating things and you're trying new techniques So evolving your brand is something you should look at on a regular basis.
We should look at what colours you use, what logo, what are your fonts, what's your tone of voice? There are lots of things associated with how you present yourself both in person and on these different mediums, websites, social etc. and it's good to be able to look at it and make sure that it's still relevant.

058 - Awards are your Golden Ticket with Debbie Gilbert
*Why are Awards so important for businesses?*
* It gives you the opportunity to deep dive into your business and analyse what you're doing.
* Once you win no one can take that award away from you it is yours forever and it gives you instant credibility. Raises you to the level of expert in your industry.
* The feel good factor its nice to be recognised for all your hard work
* Publicity opportunity is enormous.
* It's great for team morale if you have a team.
*Are All Awards created equal?*
In my opinion no I'm a real fan of awards that are properly entered and go in front of a judging panel. In theory a business competition rather than a vote for awards which is more of a popularity contest rather than a credibility award.
However, consumers generally gravitate towards businesses that have won awards so no they aren't all equal but when it comes from the consumer perspective they kind of are. Consumers are unlikely to do the research to see where the award came from a…

Working as a Wedding Stationer with Nicky Fish
How did you get started in Wedding Stationery?
It started with my own wedding. I did some things for my brother's wedding and then a friend of my sisters-in-law's ask if I could do some for her. She had seen the place card I'd done for my wedding my sister-in-law loved it and had it on display and that's how I got started.
I was on maternity leave so I had the time and I'd always been creative, I did Art A level. I did that for a couple of years but actually did go back to the office job. But I really missed the industry the stationery and being creative as well as working with couples. So I decided to come back to it and do it full time.
~*~
What do you love about working in the Wedding Industry?
The people in the industry on the whole are lovely and I love working with them, But it's the clients, the feedback and knowing I've done a good job and helped them. Stationery is often overlooked, and they think of the bigger expenses first and often don't see the value in the stationer…

Don't Discount if you want to be profitable with Bernadette Chapman
Discount your service and you devalue yourself
Today Bernadette Chapman talks with us about how discounting your service is one of the worst things you can do for your business and the entire wedding industry. We also cover how to make sure you are pricing for profitability and how working with wedding planners could be a great way of getting repeat business without the need for a divorce.
Discounting
When asked about discounting Bernadette's first response is 'Don't do it!' and I have to agree I've never felt discounting was a word that belonged in the wedding industry. It reminds me of high street sales and DFS. The wedding industry is heart-led and is about providing the best service we can for a price that allows us to be in business, discounting often feels dishonest as well as a lot of discounts aren't actually discounts as the price was inflated in the first place. So Bernadette's next comment really shed light on this.

In today's episode, I tell you the story of a bride named Jo. I forgot to mention in the recording she had actually requested black and white photos from the photographer but he hadn't edited the images at all. It was like he literally took the images off his memory card and put them straight on to a memory stick and that was it.
The Society is here to educate couples on why they shouldn't be looking for discounts from service providers and why they should look for the best for their budget. We also encourage our members to price themselves fairly and for-profit because though our members join the industry for the love of it, to stay in the industry we have to be making a profit, whether that's to cover your living costs, family fun money or just the costs of doing business.
Jo was very much l…

048 Your Legal Fairy Godmother Is Here Let's Talk Contracts
*Your Legal Fairy Godmother *
If you have a contract you need to listen if you don't have a contract you definitely need to listen.
Heather Stanford Gould has been dubbed the Legal Fairy Godmother to the wedding industry. She has two businesses - Stanford Gould and Stanford Gould Online – and she helps you lovely creative geniuses with all the legal contractual and compliance advice that you don’t know where to start with.
Client contracts, supplier agreements, freelancer contracts, insurance and liability issues, GDPR – all that tedious but crucial stuff you know you need for your wedding business.
*Contracts aren't Sexy*
Heather starts by explaining the #yourlegalfairygodmother and how that came about. Contracts aren't sexy, that aren't instagram worth and people get scared and in feeling that way avoid dealing with them. However, by creating the hashtag it opened up contracts to becoming a little more accessible for a creative audience. Making it a little more creative li…

045 Making the Most Out of Your Website in 2021
We started the show with a look into the workings of a partnership in business between a husband and wife. Chris and Jude have worked alongside each other as equal partners in their business since 2010 so if you are working with your partner I'm sure you'll find some common ground with these two and if you are considering starting that partnership listen in for some tips from the pros.
*So what are your top tips for honing our Websites?*
One
Your Home Page is so important. It is likely the first page someone lands on so you need to capture your ICA’s attention.
Clear statement above the fold
Good quality fast-loading image
A call to action
Ensure your home page looks good on all devices
Also, have a second call to action, so the first is the marry me CTA (ie. buy my stuff/book a call) the second is your way of getting the opportunity to try again, so offer them a free download in exchange for their email.
All of this should be happening before they have to interact with the…

044 Bojo Announcement My Response
*We are responding to Bojo’s announcement on Monday we have a roadmap are we any better off let's chat.*
*Starting off let’s look at the positives we have a map and a structure to work with.

* *This looks like a sound plan it’s cautious and padding is built-in for change. *
* *The staged approach to re-opening with the ability to pause a stage while the vaccines are being rolled out offering protection seems like a good solid plan.*

But now let’s look at where weddings fit into this roadmap a roadmap I feel the wedding industry has been the loudest in asking for it.*
*I want an explanation to HOW the gov came to their decisions because allowing a venue to go to 50% capacity or 4000 whichever is fewer for an event but only allowing weddings of 30 doesn’t make sense to me.*

*Clubhouse Basics*
Currently the app is:

When you enter a room you enter the audience and will have no ability to speak. You can listen in for as long as the room is open, if you want to leave just click the 'leave quietly' button to go back to your hallway. If you want to join the conversation you can click to 'raise your hand' and the moderators can then invite you to 'the stage' at the time of this podcast you enter the stage area with you mi…

042 Valentines Marketing Special
Valentine's day is one of the biggest days of the year for the Wedding Industry. Nearly 40% of all engagements happen between November and February starting with Thanksgiving in the USA and ending with Valentine's day. So wedding off-season is engagement marketing season and if you are going to stand out from the crowd you need to be different in some way.
In today's episode, I'm going to walk you through a way of automating your communication once so that you don't have to keep repeating yourself or keep writing new content every week.
You can do this in 2 ways you can block some time on your calendar and bash out 52 emails and get them set up or you can write one email a week of the next 52 weeks. Either way, the idea is you would have a sequence of emails that would automatically send to your potential clients from when they first sign up to your email. and that this sequence would help you book calls with those leads which you can turn into bookings.

Lynnette is such a ray of sunshine in what has been a truly awful 11 months for us all. I discovered Lynnette on Instagram and from the first LIVE, I caught I was hooked. Her personality was just so apparent and the ability to smile through has been a pleasure to have on my feed. So if you don't follow Lynnette then head over to her Instagram and follow her.
As a bridal hairstylist, she knows how difficult it has been for the wedding industry because she has walked in those shoes too. The reason I asked Lynnette to come on the show was to share with us what she does how she coped through the 2020 lockdowns and what she's focusing on for the future.
Listen in to find out how Live Video really changed Lynnette's 2020 even after her disastrous first attempt and how she is looking to expand her revenue streams in 2021.

039 - Tamryn Settle #whataboutweddings
If you are in the wedding industry you would have heard about the #whataboutweddings campaign. On today's episode, I was lucky enough to interview one of the initiators of the movement Tamryn Settle.
Tamryn has been part of the wedding industry for 18 years starting as a wedding planning, only leaving to spend more quality time with her young son. The call of the wedding industry was too strong to resist though and Tamryn came back to work with Annabel Beeforth at Love My Dress as a senior writer and also as a celebrant helping couples personalise what has been until recent years the most important part but the most impersonal part of the day. Her goal is to create a ceremony that is as individual as the couples getting married and in this episode, her passion for what she does shines through. Get ready for goosebumps!
It was Tamryn and Annabel who started to put in place what has now become the What about weddings campaign. Having both had sleepless nights last March not knowing wha…

This week we talk with the Music Maestro himself Lincoln Noel, that's Noel as in the first, not Noel as in Gallagher.
Lincoln has had a 42-year career in the wedding industry and if you look at his photo you may think how is that possible he doesn't look old enough. Well my friends to us regular folk he isn't but this guy started working weddings at the ripe ol'age of 13 years old! That's right not even out of senior school.
Lincoln's passion for music started in infancy and he has never looked back. Having his focus so clear from day one has lead to an amazing career working in, TV, Theater, on the concert stage and for many wonderful couples across the decades.
In this interview, Lincoln shares his Journey from, schoolboy church organ player to the Maestro Master of Ceremonies he is today. He even played at our very own Northamptonian Jo Whiley's wedding back in 1991.
When asked what advice he had for newbies starting out in the wedding business his advice was advice for us all. Reme…

Well...not much of a Queens Speech but...
In the final episode of 2020, I shout out some accounts and people who have brightened my days throughout the year with their positivity and perseverance. 2020 has seen the industry I love knocked off its feet unceremoniously yet you have all acted with dignity and grace. There has been hurt, anger and frustration to say the least, yet outwardly I have seen collaborations abound that there wouldn't have been time for in a normal year, I've seen business pivot to ensure their survival and I've seen people step out of their comfort zones to bring light, laughter and hope to us all.
To those people, I say thank you.
It has been a year where there has been nothing we could do to change what was going on and for some that has meant losing the businesses they have worked so hard for and letting down couples who have already had the disappointment of having to postpone their day. This is obviously not their fault just disappointing for all involved and we have seen the government ignore the c…

* I said the podcasts take me so long it would be quicker for me to write a podcast. I obviously meant blog posts. I've got podcasts on the brain. Anyway, with that cleared up, the show notes are below but do take a listen to the episode above.

I also have 3 guests on giving their stories about why they wished there had been something like the society when they got married.
It's true to say you don't know what you don't know. and for young new brides to be or grooms to be they don't know what is and isn't normal behaviour and unfortunately, that's how a lot of un-professionals can end up ruining a wedding day.

This episode contains some tough love and some high praise. As an industry, I have seen both ends of the spectrum those who seem stuck in the victim mentality and then those who have given, shared and remained positive.
I know that this pandemic has taken out many of our industry colleagues and to lose just one through no fault of their own is sad but what we choose to do how we choose to show up that's on us as individuals.

030 Consistency in the face of Adversity
A short episode this week as I wanted to address just this one point of consistency during this messed up year.
Being consistent regardless of what is going on behind the scenes of your business is so important. It shows couples that they can rely on you and that's important to them. Whether you get help from the government or not and regardless of needing to source other work opportunities or not showing up for your business consistently through it will put you higher on the desire list for couples.
Imagine you are a bride or groom looking for a vendor you come across one that has good reviews and you go onto their Facebook and they haven't posted anything since March about weddings or haven't posted anything since March at all! Would you think that vendor was still in business and even if they were would you think they were still passionate about weddings? I have to say I wouldn't.
Now let's say you look at another vendor and they were last active yesterday and you can scroll back in…

We are moving towards engagement session and under normal circumstances, you'd be booking wedding fairs for January February and March. However, it's unlikely to work that way this year so instead, I want to look at how you can attract your brides and grooms using giveaways on your social channels.
Part of creating a successful giveaway is having a consistent backlog of work and information for couples to look at on your social channels. So if you missed last week's episode I'd urge you to go and listen to it and grab the download so you can start to build that consistency now.

026 Minding your Thoughts with Saira Hasan pt3 self-care
Our thoughts are extremely powerful they determine everything we do and everything we feel. It is therefore extremely important that we pay attention to where our thoughts are leading us because sometimes our thoughts lie to us. From convincing us that the ice cream in the freezer won't hurt even though you've committed to clean eating to more serious lies like what other people MUST be thinking of you.
Thoughts can lead to the most joyful times but also some of the most devastating. I myself have suffered from diagnosed depression and anxiety for over 20 years. Sometimes medication is the only answer, other times I manage and I have days when it doesn't affect me at all. Those are good days!
However, I understand the dark places it can take you the hopelessness it can cause and that's why today's episode was one I wanted to address. Suicidal thoughts have come and gone for me over the years I have always managed to control that thought by my unshakable belief that my daughter deserves…

With the announcement this week that weddings will go from 30 down to 15 from Monday and could stay that way for 6 months it's time to refocus and look more to making sure we are ok. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be bringing you experts that can help us with our self-care to make sure we are putting ourselves in a good place to move forward.
This week we look at taking a digital detox. Time away from all the outside influences that aren't always as positive as they could be.
Find a date that fits for you
Decide how long your detox will be for
Schedule Social if you need to (set expectations for your followers so they no you aren't around)
Decide how far you are going to go, just social, the entire internet, all devices, TV
Do what feels good for you
Try to do at least 24 hours total detox

016 What is Brand personality - With Lynne Stainthorpe
Branding, Brand, personality, voice it can all seem a little confusing when you are trying to run a business. Sometimes that means we push it to the back burner, with more important things taking up our time. In our conversation with Lynne today we talk about what these things mean and why they are important to your bottom line.
Does your branding represent what you want it to say about you and the work you do? Do you have a hard time seeing how it all fits together? I did! it wasn't until I worked with a brand specialist that I truly saw how a brand comes together and how it can make a huge difference to not only how others see your brand but how you feel about it yourself.

011 - Going the extra mile
Going the extra mile, going above and beyond whatever you call it today we are talking about customer care. Never underestimate the power of a kind word and a friendly smile. When we think professional it often conjures images of men in suits and stuffy boardrooms but that is not what professional is in the wedding industry. For us is combines all the professional business elements contracts, insurance, retainers etc. but they are delivered with a friendly approachable smile of someone who genuinely cares about the client and their wedding day. When you work one-on-one with clients you have the unique ability to personalise the experience and really get to know who you are serving.If you want to discover what podcast style would suit you head over to https://becomeapodcaster.uk/bapquiz

010 - Reset to Get Set Challenge
COVID has been hard for everyone (well for those of us who've lost loved ones and those of us taking it seriously) and it has been especially hard for client-facing businesses retailers etc. and with that, the wedding industry which has come to a halt in a way I personally never thought I'd see.
July is the month when we are usually knee-deep into the season getting ready to forget what our families look like and loving every minute of seeing new families bonded together through their wedding vows. Sadly this isn't possible this year.
Instead, I have created a 21 Day Challenge to help reset ourselves in our businesses so we can regain our focus and go into the last 6months of 2020 in a positive way ready? Get Set let's go!If you want to discover what podcast style would suit you head over to https://becomeapodcaster.uk/bapquiz

009 - Creating Lifelong Clients
In this week's episode, we look at ways to keep your clients coming back to you again and again. There is a saying that keeping a happy client is easier than gaining a new one and this is true. Yet in the wedding industry, we serve our clients once and more often than not that's all she wrote.
We can make so much more of our client with a little effort on our part and that little effort I believe will lead to much more ease in gaining new clients as your current clients will be much more likely to remember to recommend you if you are continuously serving them.

008 Outsourcing to others to give you freedom
Many wedding vendors are solo entrepreneurs and this means we wear all the hats, Admin, marketing, finance, accounting, tax returns, social media manager, on top of the trade you provide to couples for their big day. Sometimes this can get a little overwhelming! So let's talk about how outsourcing can help lighten the load and give you more freedom to stay in your zone of genius doing what you love. Outsourcing may be something you have thought of and disregarded as an expense you can't afford but if you give a job away that takes you 3 hours and that job only takes them 1 because it's their zone of genius, not yours. then you're paying for 1hr to get back three and over the course of a year, I'd say that's well worth it.

007 Pricing for Profit
Knowing how to price yourself is one of the big stumbling blocks for many business owners not just those in the industry. In this episode, I walk you through how I break down my money and work out what to charge based on three areas, what I need, what I'm worth and what the area is in my area. With this episode, I have a fantastic calculator that will do all the hard bits for you. You just need to add up what you need and tell it how many weddings you want to service each year and it will tell you what you need to charge based on what you input.
Don't let the fear of Math or the fear of putting a number on your service stop you from growing in your business. Take a listen and let me know over on the show notes what your biggest take away is.If you want to discover what podcast style would suit you head over to https://becomeapodcaster.uk/bapquiz

Getting to inbox zero is a dream or perhaps a nightmare depending on which way you look at it. However, to get crystal clear in your business you need the space to think straight and I believe having a better-organised inbox can definitely help you on your way.
If you have 100s of emails spilling out of your inbox I feel you! seriously it was only 2 months ago I was there with you.
Let me tell you how I used to do email and how I do it now and perhaps you can do the same, if not it might just inspire you to find your own way to inbox zero. I know you can do it.If you want to discover what podcast style would suit you head over to https://becomeapodcaster.uk/bapquiz
