Transcription of video above:12 years ago, I left a steady job in the middle of the recession - and I took what I thought was my dream job, and I promptly left 3 weeks later. And being a wedding pro is always a big part of my identity, and so I was mortified. I had no job, not sure what I was doing. And I'd literally just spent the last 3 weeks having all my vendor friends come in, take appointments with them, give them tours - and it all fell apart. And frankly, I just wanted to stay home. I did not want to go anywhere. I did not want to see anybody. And frankly, that's not like me. |

Live parties are back...well, sort of. In Utah, we’ve seen our fair share of in-person weddings recently. If a couple didn’t postpone their wedding to 2021 (most did), eager hosts threw an end-of-summer or fall celebration. Sure, they were smaller in size, but not all were smaller in budget or style.
There’s nothing more disappointing than seeing a new review for your business and finding out it’s more criticism than kudos. At first review, a bad review feels like a gut punch — you start questioning what you could have done differently and where things went wrong. Nowadays, it feels harder to handle when you know it’s posted for the public to see. Life was a little easier when negative testimonials were strictly a thing of surprise phone calls and emails.
There is a lot of value to be had from paid directories but oftentimes seeing success from your directory investments can feel elusive and even frustrating. As with any marketing tactic, it requires your time and effort to maximize its impact. While directories can work for most businesses, it’s important to understand whether it’s the right time to join and, of course, you need to find the best directory to fit your needs.

Technology is always changing to offer new solutions and alternatives to increase efficiency and productivity. While it can seem overwhelming to keep up with all the digital tools available, it doesn’t take long for us to feel dated and behind-the-times if we’re not evolving alongside the technology market.
