Episode 199: How To Survive The Wedding Boom

There will be an estimated 2.5 million weddings in 2022, which is the most the U.S. has seen since 1984, according to The Wedding Report. The wedding boom is coming and for some, it’s already starting. Couples who delayed their weddings due to COVID are finally getting married and there is a huge surge of people who have gotten engaged or weren’t able to start planning their weddings due to COVID. That sounds great but there are only so many wedding pros to go around and I want to make sure that you not only survive the wedding boom but thrive during and after it.

If you’re going to survive the wedding boom, you need to become as efficient as possible. That doesn’t mean that you sacrifice your health and well-being for your clients. There are much better ways to get through this wedding boom profitably without putting your mental or physical health at risk. In this episode, I’m sharing my best tips to be more productive and efficient while taking care of yourself because you are the most important asset in your business.
