To my lovely entrepreneurs in the wedding industry– I want you to know that I admire your determination to learn and develop your skills. Whether you’re a photographer looking for ways to increase your talents or a wedding stationer who wants to find the best printery for your paper– your desire to learn is awesome and inspiring.
But… (and ya’ll knew there was a “but” from the title of this post)
In a comparison funk? This quote is for you. Be sure to read my blog post about the Green-Eyed Monster and how to exterminate jealousy from your life.
Take the first step, friends! That’s usually all that stands between you and your goals.

I’m going to talk to you today about the time where I almost lost everything.
My friends. My clients. My amazing team. My business. My mind.
This post is extremely personal and a hard one for me to write but I’ve finally put enough years in-between me and this moment in my life to where I feel like I can talk about it. I can talk about it now without being embarrassed, without anymore guilt, and with the intention of helping anyone reading this who is going through a hard time.

As a business owner, investing in education and unique experiences within the industry is necesary. Robert Kiyosaki once wrote:
You need to seek out and research different conferences, summits, retreats, workshops and unique networking events to not only inspire you but shift your way of thinking. Engage Summits is a conference hosted three times a year for luxury wedding professionals and it is filled with unique, interesting, exciting people just like you.
I started going to Engage! in 2011 and attended several more engages over the years. I was reflecting recently on all the gifts that Rebecca and Kathryn from engage have given me, and I wanted to share them with you in the hopes of showing you how a conference in this industry can change your life.
