After 12 years as a wedding planner, I can say this with deep conviction. The number one way I built my business from unknown and scrappy to respected, referred and booked out year after year - was from referrals. These referrals were what allowed me to be able to hire team members, raise our rates and eventually sell my business last year so I could focus full time on education and support for wedding pros. When I sold, we were charging premium pricing, we had venue partnerships with a few high end venues in my market and we paid zero dollars a year for advertising. I want to share some of my top strategies with you today to help you lean into this area in your own business.Resources Mentioned:Wedding MBA Bash Tuesday November 7th, 6PM-8PM, Renaissance Hotel Las VegasSusanSoutherlandWorkshops.com - Cashing in on Corporate Clients opens on November 30, 2023ClarityCoworking.com - November 13th-15th 2023 - a high-value, pitch-free education and coworking experience crafted for dedicated wedding pros like you.

Keeping in line with our last couple of episodes, this week we explore a personal journey of body image and acceptance. Susan Southerland-Mifsud joins us today to talk about her journey of self love and the challenges of losing weight. Susan is the mother of Ryan's girlfriend, Larisa, as well as a wedding planner who gets to see first hand the types of ideals that people want to portray in terms of their image.Susan shares with us the sometimes difficult perspective of being plus sized in a world that devalues anyone that doesn't look like the ideal. She recounts her time as a model and how that affected her, as well as how raising children and continuing to run her business influences many of her decisions now. We hope others can appreciate her story and take from it the same sense of pride that she wears herself.Hosted by: Ryan & Julee Barkauskas----Follow Ryan on Social Media!IG: @Ryanbarkauskas----Follow Therapy with my Mom!IG: @TherapywithmymomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/therapywithmymomTwitter: @TherapywithmymomEmail us with topic suggestions or stories we can share on the show!Therapywithmymom@gmail.com---- Music CreditsMusic from https://freetousemusic.com/"Joy" by Limujiihttps://youtu.be/yHDLbdT4Z1Q
