In this episode, Tara credits her success to working hard yet simultaneously working smarter with each stage of her business. Specifically, she shares about what prompted her career-shaping decisions.

Here are some of the important points that Tara discusses:

  • Taking her business from 30-40 weddings per year to a max of 8
  • Launching her second business (with a third in the works)
  • Setting both a minimum cost for events and turning down business
  • Using a florist canceling on her last minute to become full production
  • Being perpetually optimistic as well as hiring her opposite
  • Treating everyone the same and taking care of anyone who works with her on an event
  • Keeping a cash loan credit with her bank to manage cash flow between events
  • Inviting planners who want to be part of her new venture to contact her directly
  • Her #1 piece of advice for wedding planning professionals
