What would you do if a world leader or royal family member came to your event? Would you know what to do, how to greet them, where to seat them, and how to be a good host?

Everyone's talking about events, but not enough talk about the people making them. Rakuten's VP Events, Sara Gorlick, is here to remind us that behind every event we see and attend, even the virtual ones, there's a team of real people. Not only that, but the skillset that's needed of them in the post-covid state-of-things is unreal. On the one hand, they must understand trends and decipher the data coming in, somehow juggle different venues, platforms, and technology and on the other hand, they need to kick up a worthy experience for whatever type of attendee and keep their eyes open and heads on a swivel for any change in plans. It's a full body effort. Join this session to hear how they do it and if you are one of those remarkable beings – get some tips and tricks that might help.

Rebecca Grant shares how she built an incredibly successful and well-respected wedding planning business, in large part due to networking. Many of us rely on word of mouth to advertise our paper flower businesses. Clients are going to trust a friend's or event planner's advice over a random ad any day. But where do you start? How do you connect with people who can recommend your work? In our latest episode of Paper Talk, we talked with Rebecca Grant of New Creations Weddings. She is a very recognized and respected wedding planner in the Seattle area, but that wasn't always the case. Like all of us, Rebecca had to start her business from scratch. She shared fantastic advice for anyone building a creative business. Listen now to learn how to cultivate a positive reputation as you navigate difficult decisions, adverse situations, and that often feared yet crucial piece, networking. Here's what you'll learn when you listen to our conversation: ► Rebecca's journey to becoming a well-respected wedding planner.► How to evaluate if you should take that next big leap with your business.► What to think about when investing money in your business.► How to network successfully, even if you're an introvert!► Why and how Rebecca is partially pivoting to wedding venue ownership. If you can't listen right away, here is a peek at our conversation. Rebecca shared four specific reasons to evaluate when thinking about quitting your day job and jumping fully into your creative business. The last one was, as Rebecca said, “Network, network, network, network, network, network.” A great way to build up your paper flower business is to network with other people in the wedding industry. Here are three things you can do to better connect with other professionals at networking events: Network with Friends Start with who you know! On the podcast, Quynh recommended bringing a friend along to networking events. If you're new to these types of events, or you're on the introverted side, a friend can help you feel less awkward and alone. It's also much easier to gush about your friend's accomplishments, and vice versa. Chat to your friends in the industry to see who would be willing to go with you. Make sure that you know all about their work and they know about yours. “It's great to have friends that push you and are constantly driven themselves. It's just really fun to be a part of their energy and push you to the next level, too.” -Rebecca Grant Take Networking Notes As Rebecca shared on the episode, the wedding networking events that she attends frequently draw in well over fifty people. Even if you only meet half of them, that's still a lot of new faces and details to remember. The solution? Take notes! Add their contact info to your phone, and attach a photo of their business card and a quick note of who introduced you and what you talked about. Also include a photo of them so you don't forget what they look like. You can look for a headshot on their social media or website, or you can ask to take a selfie—and don't feel bad about that request! Rebecca told us that she loves promoting these networking events on social media, because it encourages other people to join in later. She would gladly take a photo with a small group and that gets tagged at the event on Instagram. When individual businesses are built up, the entire industry benefits. Those with more experience in the wedding industry or other creative fields know this, and they will more than likely be very happy to chat and take a photo with you. Follow Up If you meet somebody and they make an impression on you, message them. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. You want to strengthen the connection you made so that later on you can reconnect more easily. Your message can be as simple as this: “Hello! It was great meeting you at [the event]. I enjoyed connecting with you about [subject]. I'd love to chat more sometime and work together in the future. Hope you're doing well!” Rebecca receives many emails from various businesses wanting to work with her. As she said in the episode, she's not going to recommend a business she doesn't know to her clients. But by following these simple suggestions, you can network with people you want to work with. “If you want to work with me, meet me! Get to know me.” -Rebecca Grant Learn even more about networking and taking that next leap with your business by listening to the episode now.

This episode is full of reflections and learning with our guest, Leah Weinberg, who joined us to talk about self-awareness and living in the moment.    Have you ever stopped whatever it is you're doing and just observed? Like really looking at your surroundings, feeling the wind blow into your face, savoring the feel of the keyboard on your fingertips. No? Well, you should! Don't let every moment in your life pass by in a blur and leave you thinking, “Where has all that time gone?”   In this episode, we'll be talking about exactly how to make the most out of every moment in your life. We're joined by our lovely guest from Color Pop Events, Leah Weinberg, as we navigate self-awareness and how to harness it to beat the burnout monster.    In this episode, you'll learn:    A mantra to remind yourself to be in the present. Why self-awareness is the first step. How to ignore what other people are doing. You are uniquely you. Ways to be mindful of hospitality. How to surround yourself with other business owners. Why to put systems and processes in place from the beginning.   To see more of Leah's works and what she does, visit her website.   Here's a sneak peek of the episode:    [1:59] That's not where self development happens. That's not where growth happens. You need to live in the present moment. I encourage you to take up a meditation practice to do that.   [11:00] The goal is to realize that you're gonna have a long term relationship with burnout. And it's just about trying to stay in balance as long as possible and giving yourself grace.   [15:28] I love that just self awareness and being like, “okay, I'm not a PMS thing. I'm burned out.” Like for me PMS and burnout have a very similar sense of you're tired and cranky.   [18:44] My first tip is to have systems and processes in place from the beginning. And when you're first starting out, things like that aren't necessarily on your mind. And a time will come when you're going to need it.    [19:39] You don't have to have a formal operating manual but essentially, you should have enough documentation that you could hand somebody this packet of information and they would like you to franchise your business essentially, like think about your systems and processes.   [22:59] So number two is to surround yourself with other business owners. The people, your community, who you surround yourself with is just so incredibly important. Connect with me!     Wise entrepreneurs know it takes money to make money.  But the whats, whens, and whys don't always seem clear for new(ish) entrepreneurs. Where do you start?
