"you're the mentor i've been looking for!"
I was going through my email trying to find my to-do list when I came across the Business Success Checklist & Pricing with Confidence package purchases I made. Those packages changed my life! They relieved my anxiety and I have a path forward. I’m emailing this to show how much of a positive and amazing influence you are in our industry. There is not another website that I’ve seen that offers such comprehensive resources. You have been the mentor that I’ve been looking for.

"it takes the guesswork out of what you need for your business."
What I love about all of the tools you can purchase on Planner’s Lounge is it takes the guesswork out of the tools you need for your business. Every time my business grows I go back to the tools you can purchase and I find something new that will help me grow and stay on track.

"one of the best decisions I ever made!"
The mentoring program with the Planner’s Lounge was one of the best decisions I ever made and it wasn’t an easy one. I worried about money and time and whether or not it would pay off in the long run. Having completed the program, I can look back and say “Yes!” it was totally worth it and I know I will continue to see returns on that investment. Debbie is an expert in the field and is also kind and patient so it feels like you are working with your friend. It was an invaluable experience!

"one of the best decisions I ever made!"
I hesitated about signing up for a Planner’s Lounge course simply because I had a lack of confidence in my skills. My feelings now, after completing the course, are that I have far more confidence in what I want to become and how I want to project my brand as a wedding planner. It’s given me so much reassurance so that I can’t stop talking about it and referring to the course when speaking with other event professionals!

"spot on suggestions for how to take my biz to the next level!"
I had my first coaching session with Debbie and I cannot say enough about how productive it was! Debbie offered spot-on constructive criticism, observations, encouragement, and suggestions for how to take my business to the next level. She was able to instill a sense of confidence in my work while giving me direct advice on how I can do better. I hoped to gain a sense of direction from our talk and I am already feeling incredibly optimistic with the guidance Debbie was able to provide!
