Reaffirmation of Confidence

All I can say is wow... I don't think I've been this busy in a while. I mean, I'm always busy, but my work normally doesn't involve this much travel.

Where to begin... Last weekend I went to the Paris Bridal Gala as a vendor. I was very excited to see everyone there and do some networking. With over 300 brides in attendance, the place was packed. Also, I was set up across from a popular decorator, so I had a ton of traffic by my booth. However, I learned I really need to get some sort of banner with some drapery - everyone's booth was all jazzed up with fancy artwork, and mine was pretty plain. I managed to hand out 3/4 of the flyers and cards I brought with me - I hope that boosts business!

Now, when I signed up to do the Gala, I knew I had 3 weddings to do this summer. As a regular person who can't predict the future, I had no idea that I would get another 3 weddings booked in the span of a week - all before I went to the Gala :) All confirmations were done through e-mail, but I always arrange a follow-up meeting. This meant I had 3 meetings to go to on top of work. As well, I met with the bride of the wedding I shot in December to go over the footage. Word to the wise - scheduling is key!

The only thing I wish I had done more of this week was go to the gym. I had arranged my work schedule to a tee, but I didn't get around to the gym as much as I wanted to. I try to go every day for about an hour and a half, but this was just not happening this week :( I managed to squeeze in a couple small workouts at the gym at work, but it wasn't the same. On a positive note, I am talking to a personal trainer through work; I want to have abs by the end of February. I need to get some new exercises and a plan figured out to do this. I'm getting there - I measured myself this week and found out I have lost 4 inches across my midsection - but I need a good push in the right direction. I think this will work :)

With all this new development happening every week, I feel like my confidence in my business is continuously being renewed. I am always happy with where this business is going and I'm really excited to see myself grow. I just have to manage my schedule so I won't burn out :)

Have a great weekend!!
