Where Is Your Growth?

Hello to all my people that are 30 & up! I'm sure many of you have had this conversation with friends, family, and your mate! What were you doing at age 18,21 & 25? Were you clubbing alot, dating multiple people, drinking alot or just didn't have a care in the world at that age? Then the next question comes: are you still doing the same things at the age of 30, 35, 40 or older?

I have came in contact with so many people and have observed people 30 & up and i hate to say it but it's sad that alot of people 30 & up are still doing the same things or sometimes worse in their current life. Where is your growth? Alot of times it's not about materialistic things such as a car, house, or owning a business(eventhough that plays a part in growth but shouldn't be the main focus). Did you grow and become more mature? Are you learning new things such as traveling to different places, meeting different people, learning different cultures, persuing your education, are you more mature and have learned from your mistakes? If you look at your life now and you are doing the exact things you were doing 5,10,15 years ago, you have a serious problem! You really need to evaluate your life. Set small and big goals! As you age, growth is suppose to become more positive!

As an event planner i constantly do surveys to see how people would like to be entertained in their area. For some reason there seems to be a lot of contradiction going on. I cater to the older crowd and they constantly tell me they want to see the wine tastings, art shows, speed dating, nice lounges & bars(not clubs), relationships forums etc... but when i provide those type of events they don't show up and when i see them again they will strike up a conversation about the experience they had when they wen to the club! Remember people always explore and try different things! Try events, travel, and always meet new and positive people! Continue to prepare for your future! Remember you are not going to be 21 for the rest of your life and think about how you will look breaking your neck to go to the club every week with a bunch of 21 & 25 yr olds!

Plan for the future, continue to enjoy life, and remember if you are 30 & up you are venturing into another part of your life you will enjoy!

  1. I get the same thing as well, trying to offer live music to an audience that desires it, but does not respond due to maybe venue, or cost. It is almost a catch 22. But I will continue to offer quality entertainment and hopefully folks will come out. If they don't I won't allow that to distract me from my goal! Keep up the awesome work.

Don't Give Up!

With many businesses closing small and big, the fight to keep a business open is very challenging in 2018! The big businesses are shutting down such as Sam's Club and Toys R US, so imagine what the small business owners are going through! I write this blog today to the small business owners to say don't give up! I know as you are reading this you are saying "easier said than done" but i'm a living witness that you have to keep going! Selections Entertainment is in year 9 and there are many days I want to give up but I say to myself "look how far you have came, what you have accomplished and how you have helped others. Take your business day by day, challenge yourself, ask yourself what you can do different, and how can you meet  and network with different people to build working relationships and build clientele. Also work on supporting other businesses!. The struggle is real but pray, have faith, and believe, you will get through the rough patches. I don...

Budget Wisely!

Many brides are overwhelmed when they are planning a wedding. Many couples have estimated budgets for their special day but many don't plan a realistic budget. The best way to establish a realistic budget is to have a budget in each category. Hire a professional wedding planner to help you with your budget. A planner will let a couple know what is the average cost of a vendor in each category. People are very surprise how much a caterer, florist, or photographer cost in their area. The guessing game of expenses will cause a couple to overspend and become overwhelmed. A planner can also help you with saving money on do's and don't's. Their professional vendor list will help you plan your special day! Happy Planning!
