I equated “hustle at 60” with failure. I believed that by now, my business should run without me. But here I am. I turn 60 soon, and guess what? I’m still in the thick of weddings. I’ve learned a tough, but necessary lesson.
This week, I hope you remember:
You don’t owe your energy to everything or everyone. Protect it. Guard it.
Invest it where it truly counts. You are your greatest asset. Treat yourself accordingly.
You’re showing up for clients, but who’s showing up for you? There are seasons in life when being a creative entrepreneur feels heavier than usual. Maybe you’re navigating grief. Maybe a relationship is unraveling. Maybe your health—physical, mental, or emotional—is quietly begging for attention. And yet, the business doesn’t stop. The inbox still pings. The wedding dates don’t move. The client meetings are still on the calendar.
To every wedding entrepreneur who feels like they’re barely holding it together—you’re not alone. 💔 You’ve mastered the art of showing up with a smile, delivering for your clients, and posting “success” online. Yet behind the scenes, you’re exhausted, questioning your path, and wondering if it’s all worth it. Let’s pause for a moment.
This Thanksgiving, our dinner may have been delayed, but the lesson wasn’t lost. As entrepreneurs, we need to prioritize ourselves before we reach a point of crisis. Your business will thank you, just as my next turkey will thank me for a repaired oven.
Imagine having a group of trusted individuals who act as your personal board of directors — advisors who guide, support, and challenge you in meaningful ways. Just like a company’s board, your personal board is there to offer wisdom and fresh perspectives, but for your life and goals.
How do wedding entrepreneurs exude confidence without coming across as arrogant to their clients? Here are four crucial tips to help you with your approach.
When you’re well-rested, your mind is sharper, your energy is higher, and you can approach tasks with greater clarity and focus. Rest isn’t just about avoiding burnout; it’s about empowering your mind to function at its best. By stepping back, you mitigate mental fatigue, boost cognitive function, and improve concentration, making you more effective in your work.
Are you feeling burned out? Are your business operations taking a toll on you? Here are some steps you can take to help you alleviate that “Burned Out” feeling.
In moments of doubt and struggle, it’s easy to feel fragile and vulnerable. But deep within, there’s a strength we often overlook. Today, I’m reminding myself—and you—that we are far more resilient than we think.
