I don’t believe we’re meant to do the same thing forever. In fact, I think most entrepreneurs are multi-passionate, multi-hyphenated creatives. And this is a sentiment that became even more obvious after we asked you what types of episodes you’d like to see on The Power in Purpose podcast. You want to learn about pivoting in business–what it’s like, how to start, and what to expect when you decide to leave behind your business/career and start something new.

In this episode, I’m giving you permission to pivot–and sharing what I learned when I sold my first business and followed my purpose and how you can start making a change in business today.

Maybe you’re feeling burnt out and you’re looking for something new and exhilarating. Or, maybe you don’t have the same love and joy you once did when you started your career. Pivoting can be scary, hard, and honestly stressful. 

But there’s not a day that goes by where I’m not grateful I took the leap and decided to shift course in my career.

If you’ve been feeling that nudge… or heck, that aggressive push to try something new, this episode is for you.

You wanted to learn more about pivoting in business–what it’s like, how you can get started, and what to expect when you decide to leave behind your business/career and start something new.

In this episode, I’m giving you permission to pivot–and sharing what I learned when I sold my first business and followed my purpose and how you can start pivoting in business today.

I know what pivoting is like firsthand; in October of 2019, I sold my 6-figure business of 12 years so I could coach and mentor wedding pros full time. After so many years doing (and being known for) one thing, pivoting was exciting and exhilarating.

But it was also hard, full of imposter syndrome, and felt like totally starting over. Today, I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the hard when it comes to pivoting.

This episode is part of our mindset series.

In today’s episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast on pivoting in business:

  • Why pivoting might be the right move for you
  • 7 steps to take to start pivoting
  • The 6 lessons I learned when pivoting my career

I never set out to plan destination weddings.

But one opportunity changed everything.

That first trip led to years of career-making moments — weddings in the caribbean, being flown in by five star hotels to consult on their product, and creative projects I never could’ve imagined when I was just a girl from a small town with big dreams.

I’ve been lucky enough to see the world through the lens of my business — to travel, create, and get paid to do work I love alongside incredible clients.

And if you’ve ever dreamed about adding destination weddings to your planning business, I want you to know it’s absolutely possible for you, too.

Whether you’re being paid to fly to Tuscany or Fiji, Mexico to Montana.

Comment DESTINATION below, and I’ll send you the link to my Destination Wedding Planning Playbook — the exact resource that walks you through:

✨ how to become a destination wedding planner
✨ how to market your services
✨ what to offer (and charge for)
✨ and yes… even how to fill out immigration forms and fly linens in a suitcase 😅

This is your sign to stop waiting for “someday.” Your next destination could be your business. 💜
You could spend all your energy trying to cut back... or you could use that same energy to make more.

In this week’s episode of The Power in Purpose, @erinn_bridgman shares such a refreshing perspective on money, and it’s one that I believe every creative entrepreneur needs to hear.

Sure, there’s a time and place to look at where your money’s going. I believe one of the fastest ways to put money in your pocket is to stop spending it. But what if you shifted your focus to how easily you could bring more in?

One additional wedding.
A higher-margin package.
A simple pricing adjustment.

That’s the difference between staying in survival mode and stepping into abundance.

For most wedding pros, the latte isn’t the problem. It’s the story you’re telling yourself about what’s possible.

You’re closer than you think to creating the income and stability you’ve been chasing.

✨ Comment 197 and I’ll DM you the link to listen (along with the invite to a FREE masterclass Erinn is hosting tomorrow if you want to learn more)

Here’s one of my favorite things about being a business owner...

You don’t have to wait for permission to make more money.

You don’t need to ask for a raise.
You are the raise.

In this week’s episode of The Power in Purpose, @erinn_bridgman and I talked about one of the most empowering parts of being a wedding pro and that’s the ability to create income on demand.

When you understand your numbers, you realize how much control you actually have. You can double down on your most profitable offer, take on one or two more weddings at a higher rate, or make small shifts that directly impact your paycheck.

If only someone would show you the way, right?

My hope is that this conversation will light a fire under you to stop waiting for “someday” and start acting like the CEO your business needs today.

Comment 197 and I will send you the link to listen (and an invite to a FREE masterclass Erinn is hosting next week to help you too!).
