Ok, 2022 isn't even over yet, and I have a list of lessons this year has taught me, and new habits to implement in 2023.
Working in the wedding industry during the busiest wedding year in decades, coupled with a shift in social culture, has brought new challenges and some unsettling scenarios.
In this episode, I share some of the hardest moments of this season, and what I'm doing differently moving forward. My goal in this little pep talk is not to discourage you with my worst moments-ha!- but rather to help you feel empowered, knowing that everyone has bad days, and everyone receives crummy emails every once in a while.
...Okay how is THAT empowering?
Because you're not the only one.
I'm here to debunk the myth that the our worst client experiences are what define us. Those are the lies that can sink in when we feel isolated and insecure. When we 'survive' a tough experience with a customer, we learn from the scenario, and we can make the changes necessary to make our business stronger, and feel more prepared for the next one.
I'm always so grateful and humbled when you trust me with your stories and hard days. (We don't have a staff room, so we need to connect some other way, right?!)
Despite a few crummy experiences this year, a solid 98% of my beautiful clients have been the absolute BEST to work with!
Here's what I'm doing moving forward, to better protect myself, and to focus on the awesome parts of my biz:
1. Beefing up my contract: I'm sharing a few ways you can add to your current contract, or even better- start implementing one in the first place!
2. Creating a bulletin board with bride pics: I want a visual reminder of all the wonderful women I've worked with. Our brains need evidence of the positive, so that's what I'm giving mine!
3. Secrets of a Bridal Seamstress Retreat: I'm planning an in-person retreat! January 19 & 20, 2023, join me in Palm Springs for a refreshing time of personal and professional development. Registration opens October 10th! Has this episode resonated with you? Let me know! You can message me on Instagram @nadine.bozeman or email me at [email protected]
