The Simple Plan Seattle // 2015

The lovely ladies of Sage Wedding Pros were in town last week and I was SO excited to attend The 2015 Simple Plan!   For me, this was a 5 year refresher and it couldn’t have come at a better time.  It is so easy when you run your own business to put your head down and get stuck in the rut of day-to-day activities, the tasks that need to be completed and forget to look up at the big picture.  Good questions we were asked, what are your goals? What are you going to do to reach your goals? What does your brand say? Does it match your message? Are you living your brand?  Oh my gosh… then the financials – wowza. I can’t even begin to sum up everything we learned about this, we worked through all of this and more as a group and it was amazing – if you want to know more, you will just have to attend the Be Sage Conference that is coming up in November.  I know many people from Seattle will be attending!

Below are a few photos I snapped during our two days together, I am so happy to have attended this workshop and am feeling so very inspired to get started making changes!

The workshop was held at Kaspars event space in Queen Anne – they provided us with coffee, treats and delicious lunches every day!! THANK YOU!!!

Here is a group photo of all of us – I like that Greg Lowder was the lone guy this year!!  A brave man who helped out with the audio/visual presentation. ;0)  It was so great to spend time with and get to know so many of these wonderful people in our crazy wedding industry! 

Judy from Fena flowers – provided gorgeous floral arrangements for our tables, that we all fought over who got to take them home!   

Day two… things got a bit silly.  ;0) Sheena – the silliest!!  

Day two – marketing strategy…. this was AWESOME!!  They used Laurel & me as a sample of a fun way to use social media promotion!! This was our Tina Fey / Amy Poehler look alike evening.  haha!!  

If you are thinking of starting a new business, or have been in business for 20 years – this workshop is a great way to have a fresh outlook on your business, your marketing and your financial situation!!  Easy Peasy Business Planning!!
