PBA is returning! 🎉 and life just be life-ing y’all! Am I right?

Maybe you made some goals or intentions for your business at the beginning of 2023…

Maybe it was to start your business, get into a higher paying clientele, raise your prices, or rebrand your business buuuut now it’s October and you looked up and not much looks different. 👀

It’s okay, don’t get discouraged, we still have 2 months left in the year to make change. Let’s get it! 💪🏽

I know my audience is filled with a lot of POWERFUL woman. Woman who don’t stop when the odds are against them. Woman that get back up on their feet after they’ve been knocked down time and time again. But even powerful woman need a little help sometimes!

or a hug 🤗
or a mani 💅🏼
or a mimosa 🥂…🤣

With that being said I’m here to help…I’m thinking of relaunching Party Biz Academy with a Zoom group coaching check-in this time around? So people can join in and ask questions if they’re stuck or need some clarification.

What do you guys think?

Or would you rather have that as a separate add-on for personalized help 1:1.

Do clients say you’re too expensive?? 💸 or my personal favorite, completely ghost 👻 you after sending a quote time and time again?…

Just know you’re not alone, but after awhile this can definitely start to make you second guess yourself, your skills, and your value as a business owner.

We often intertwine our own worth with the success of our business (although we know it’s not true.)

Unfortunately as great as you are, as skilled as you are, and as talented as you are…you will still come across people who don’t value you or your craft. You will hear often…it’s “just” balloons…it’s “just” flowers….it’s “just” tablecloths.

Just, just, just..🎶

There are still so many people who don’t value our industry yet because they don’t fully understand the work that goes into it. Behind the scenes, what the client doesn’t see…

But you can not set your prices based on people’s ignorance or budgets.

Your price is YOUR price! And you have to be confident enough to stick to your guns. If it’s $500 it’s $500, if it’s $1,500 it’s $1,500, if it’s $10,000 it’s $10,000. The right clients will value your work and expertise and pay what they have to.

The tables and chairs don’t clean themselves. Rentals don’t deliver themselves. Balloons don’t blow themselves up. Flowers don’t make their own arrangements. Maintenance, transportation, gas, labor…

All they see is the finished product. The pretty Pinterest picture or Instagram post.

They don’t see the blood, sweat, and literal tears that goes into servicing the party industry.

It takes hard work, grit, and perseverance.

We might not always be our best, but we always bring our best to the table and that deserves to be compensated.

Trust in yourself! And if you need a little help figuring it all out, I got you 😉

We’re currently running my Party Biz Academy online course and if you’re looking for a 1:1 sesh you can book a Zoom call from the link in the bio. 📞

Your price is YOUR price! 💸💁🏽‍♀️ Remember everyone

Your price is YOUR price! 💸💁🏽‍♀️ Remember everyone’s cost of doing business is not the same. Don’t feel hurt or intimidated into lowering your quote because a client threatens you with competitor pricing.

There are so many factors that go into pricing! For all we know…Miss Susie down the way may use lesser quality products, she may have a free family workforce, she may not have to pay overhead for storage, she may not have a company vehicle to pay off, etc, etc.

Consider others may be running their business as a side hustle for extra spending cash and don’t necessarily need their business to be profitable enough to cover their own salary and actually pay their bills. They may not even be profitable and only break even on events but just haven’t realized it yet. They may not be paying their taxes and running their business under the table.

Whatever the case may be, it has nothing to do with you. Good quality work deserves good quality pay!…and the right clients will recognize that and pull out their pocketbooks 💸💸💸

Remember our pricing (however unreasonable some people may deem it be) is not to get over on those we serve. It’s to make sure we have a way to sustain our business and lifestyle so that we can CONTINUE TO SERVE!

If you’re struggling to start your event business, figure out your pricing or gain the right clientele, make sure to check out my course…Party Biz Academy!! (Comment or message “PBA” to be sent the link or check in the bio) 📲

I want to remind you that trusting the process of starting and growing your event business is essential. It's easy to get caught up in the end goal, but it's the journey and the progress you make along the way that truly defines your success.

Each step you take, no matter how small, brings you closer to your dreams. Celebrate every milestone, every inquiry, and every new client. Each one is a testament to your hard work and dedication.

Remember, success is not just about financial gains; it's about the personal growth and fulfillment that comes from building something meaningful.

If you truly want to build an event business, know that it is possible. Your dreams are within reach!

But if you happen to be feeling stuck, why not book a call with me?
