Tips on how to run your business while planning your wedding:

You must be a #ladyboss; a business owner with passion, intelligence, class, honor and well-liked by your crew. You strive in making a difference through your craft; reaching for opportunities while creating possibilities, you have high-standards, detail-oriented, a role-model to your team and those around you. Well, if I described you by at least of one of the above.. which I'm sure I hit at least two, you must be juggling between a ton of work & wedding tasks like I do.  I suggest you treating your wedding planning similar to your business work; in regards to these specific factors:

Staying focused
Exceeding Deadlines
Being organized
Having a budget & following up on your financials
Comparing your vendors (by price, location, & good vibes) 
Having checklists 
Creating a work schedule and wedding planning/tasks schedule 
Communicating properly 
Remembering that this is what you chose (him) and your work (your passion) 
Having fun every single day! 

Our wedding day has been a full on production where an integrated business plan, strategy, design and blueprints are being made... literally.  As a business owner; I enjoy the 'backend' operation to our wedding and will look forward to the fruits of our labor; together with my fiance Tommi and friend Morvarid with Olive & Wheat Designs (wedding planner) on our special day.  Being part of the wedding planning makes the entire process all that more special.  There are moments (like in business) where it will become stressful & you will have tons of decisions to make; I focus daily in order to leave out the stress. The goal is to [keep on swimming] move forward on the wedding planning the same way you would move forward with your business; find solutions and continue this incredible journey with a positive attitude like a #ladyleader would. 
 
Guide to getting to: 'I DO', gracefully:​

1. Have daily work goals and daily wedding planning goals
2. Know your monthly plan both at work & the expectations from wedding objectives
3. Keep up with your health &  wellness programs 
4. Take care of your lady parts; including hair, nails, waxing, etc.. 
5. Stay social! Keep your social schedule open to spend time with family & friends
6. Create something special during this time that will be your 'engagement legacy' 
7. Include your business & life partner (your fiance) 
8. Remind yourself daily (using a personal journal) why you are doing what you do
9. Take time to do the things you love (by yourself or as a couple) 
10. Reward yourself as you accomplish big tasks both at work & wedding tasks

I am lucky to work with brands, create projects & develop new business opportunities that excite me every day! I wake up to my morning stretching ritual that includes a 30 minute in-bed stretch session then a 30 minute floor-mat session. Once that has been completed, I walk Papillon (my Maltipoo son), shower, write in my daily-journal and prepare for the rest of the day with a tea on hand. I juice it up for the day and prep a few mason jars to take with me to the office. I do my best to keep this schedule consistent ,while changing it up now and then to dilute the monotony of a weekly schedule.
