6 Things I Wish I knew about building a team before I did it

Do you ever wish you knew all the details before you jumped feet-first into something? I know I feel that way about a lot of things, especially building a team. Today I’m sharing 6 things I wish I knew about building a team before I actually built my team!

⭐️It takes time! When we decided to grow a team, we started training them 1 whole year in advance. We needed our couples to feel comfortable before booking with their planner and this year leeway helped!

⭐️People come and go, no matter how much they love you and your biz! The reality is, life happens. People move on or they move away. You have to be prepared and have a plan in place for when that happens.

⭐️Not everyone is perfect and as the owner, you will hear all of the feedback. If a planner makes a small mistake or the couple has comments, you have to put that fire out!

⭐️You will still need to be involved! As much as you may want to be hands off , you will still need to help at times! It also looks really good if you stop by the wedding on the wedding day, if you can!

⭐️It can make you a lot more 💰 but it also costs you a lot more. Liability insurance will go up, workers comp will go up, and your expenses to payroll will go up! Find the balance in where you still make some money, but your employees are happy!

⭐️It will be the best thing you do for you and your business! Y’all, taking on 40+ weddings a year is exhausting and tough! When you grow your team, you can take on a lot less and still grow the businesses revenue! And most of all, it’s so fun to have a team of amazing people who share the same passion that you do!
