Wedding Planners: Overnight Success Stories Take a Long Time
“Overnight Success Happens Only in
Fairy Tales, Trashy Novels, and Bad Movies.“
-Ernie J Zelinski
Do you get frustrated when a seemingly new event planner appears from out of nowhere and is suddenly being published in multiple places, winning awards, producing stunning weddings, and is the planner EVERYONE is talking about?
It’s annoying. It’s frustrating. It can put a dent in your self confidence. It make you question your own abilities.
But, what many experienced wedding planners have learned is that there is no such thing as quick success, even if it seems that way.
It takes time to build credibility and reputation. There are wedding and event planners out there who seem to have become an overnight success. DO NOT compare yourself to them. You have no idea what resources they had at their disposal for quick growth, how long they’ve been at it, and what they had to give up to get to where they are. If you dig into almost every “overnight success” story, you will find years worth of hard work and perseverance.
Keep in mind that what you see on social media is a lot of smoke and mirrors. There are wedding planners who portray big success who have never been profitable (and some who have had to file bankruptcy). There are event planners with huge brands who still work a full-time job to support themselves. You never know what is really going on behind the scenes with a business.
Keep your head focused on your business.
Celebrate your incremental successes.
Be patient when you have a setback.
Great achievements take time.
It takes years to become an “overnight success”.
The journey isn’t always easy, but it’s so worth it.
