Budgeting-The Main Factor!

We all know when it comes to bills, lifestyles, parties & events we want it all! But the reality check comes in and we say: "I can't afford it!" Many times people can afford a lot of things if they put their mind to it and budget! As an event/wedding planner i see it everyday! People want extravagant parties, weddings, & events and they can't afford it! I tell my clients all the time you can have it but you trying to plan this in 2 months with this budget? They also get aggravated when they can't get what they want.

My biggest advice is be realistic with your financial budget in life! Wether it's your personal household, wedding, event or party. Reach for the stars and get what you want but it's call planning and organization. If you wan that extravagant 40th bday party with a 10,000 budget then start planning when you are 38! If you want a destination wedding and you know you can't afford those plane tickets and venue then plan 2 yrs ahead of time! Most of the time it's not how much money you make but how you budget your money! Rich people blow money everyday and sometimes they can be rich one day and broke the next. Please prioritize your responsibilities and if there are many things you want in life you don't have yet that should be your motivation to work hard to get it!

    Thanks for responding! You are correct. If people don't follow the budget correctly or apps correctly they will be in trouble!

Reflecting On 2010 As a Business Owner

As 2010 comes to a close i wanted to reflect on this year as a business owner. I'm sure many can relate to this and i hope you enjoy! Going into 2010 i was very excited! I had a great successful year in 2009 and i just knew it was going to be a repeat! Boy did i have a rude awakening! I was on a natural high from the wonderful new years party i had with an attendance of over 400 people, i was saying to myself oh this is a piece of cake! I started the year off with vol.2 of Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace relationship forum.. Great crowd but of coarse i wanted my events to improve. I continued to step out the box with my other events such as the wine tastings, sex,sassy,& classy, my debut of desire desserts vol. 1 & 2, business mingles, spades tournament, and how can we forget two speed dating events! While all this was going on i continued my weekly radio show great minds think alike, book club Imaginable Minds, and continued with my catering services. Through all
