Reviving the Business

I am in wedding overload. About 2 weeks ago I got a review of our business. One of those things that just happen. My sister-in-law will be the maid of honor at a friend's wedding. She got to experience what other planners/florists offer and what we offer. She was just casually commenting about her friend and how she'll probably pick a hotel because of what they're offering. One thing led to another and she mentioned her point of view regarding our meeting with the bride vs another planner.

WOW! I admit I got upset. Not at the moment, but later on... while giving it too much thought. I started questioning everything I did or didn't do. Everything my partner did or didn't do. The works. After 2 days into my pitty party I got up and did what i do best: Google! I searched things related to wedding planning. Reading like if this was my first time. Nothing was too obvious for me. I was soaking up everything I could possibly learn. And now? Well I'm glad, I'm happy for what I heard. Because the good thing is I now know what I needed to improve. And I have this information thanks to a comment that stung!

I'm feeling motivated, and hopeful. I am looking at all the areas I can improve. I am researching different ways to network and promote ourselves. Only good things will come after this.
