So, why is writing a wedding business plan important?
Here's a fun statistic: did you know that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them?
The same principle can be applied to strategies for your wedding business. I'm talking about strategies like sales, ideal clients, marketing, and growth.
They’re all the same in that when you develop these areas on paper, you’re much more likely to see them through to success.
What is a business plan?
A biz plan is an overarching strategy for the who, what, how, when, and most importantly, the why.
And let's face it, the why is why we’re all here and why YOU listen to our podcast!
You take strategies you would have in your company: your ideal clients, marketing, sales, competitive analysis… and you map out a plan for them.
A business plan is an overarching strategy for the who, what, how, when, and the why.
In today's episode, I'm sharing the 5 things a business plan will reveal about your wedding business. I will walk you through my philosophy about business plans, share the 5 strategies it will reveal, and give you tips on how to jumpstart the process.
What does a biz plan accomplish?
It requires you to think deeply about what you want for your future, who you want to serve, and how you will get there.
Writing a business plan has the power to transform your biz.
But I get it.
It’s not like I’m sharing 5 ways to make millions of dollars…. But….. it is the secret sauce to building and scaling a business that will last and maybe make you a million dollars.
It will definitely reveal if your business is even capable of making a million dollars.

The best thing I’ve ever bought is a plane ticket to Barbados. Cheers to 10 years of marriage with you ✨✨
10 years ago today we snuck off (sorry friends and fam!) to get married at a small little church on the beach. It felt like I was doing something crazy - we had only been dating for 10 months - but my nerves were quieted by an inner sense of knowing that this was right.
When you know you know. ❤️
I’m so lucky to have a partner where everyday feels like our anniversary. Thank you for giving me a life better than I could have ever imagined, and for being my person. #kistoos #kistoos💞 #10yearanniversary
