Start Your Career in Event Planning

Help! I Desperately Want to Become an Event Planner,
But Have No Clue How to Begin!

Are you frustrated because you know exactly what you want to do with your life, but you don't know how to get started?

Perhaps you've sent out dozens of emails, applying for jobs, but haven't had one response; and you're wondering what you're doing wrong?

Are you worried because, no matter how old you are or what stage of your life you're in, you know you don't have enough experience?

Or discouraged because you don't have any experience, but how are you supposed to get experience without any experience?

"How to Begin Your Career in Event Planning:
A Step-by-Step Guide to Become
an Event Planner."

Note that this is not an eBook on "how to plan events" (I will release a video eCourse for that this summer).

It also is not one of those fluffy offers that promise you can open your own event planning business, just as soon as you pay $1200 for their "event planning" course which teaches you nothing more than how to address wedding invitations and book a DJ. Pardon my French, but I'm bloody sick of seeing those sites that are selling innocent people like you a bunch of cr@&*p.

What this is is a step-by-step guide on how, exactly, to get your foot in the door of this competitive industry, and be well on your way toward a successful career in event planning.

Here are just a few topics covered in this eBook:

  • The different types of events, and in which areas you can make the most money while having the most fun.
  • What event planning is not.
  • What it takes to start your own event planning business.
  • Understanding the business: the many different people, positions, and vendors that it takes to run any event.
  • Getting started: do you need schooling or certification?
  • Applying for work; what are you doing wrong?

That's just the first part of the eBook. The entire second part of the eBook discusses:

  • How to truly, no kidding, start your career; specific steps to get your foot in the door.

So, if you're truly ready to learn what it really takes to get started in this industry, then this eBook is exactly what you've been looking for: the truth, the answers, and the steps needed to get you where you want to go.



This eBook has been delayed in order to allow me time to complete my online Event Planner Course; which also covers the same information that I plan to cover in this eBook. For more information, click here to learn about the Event Planner Course.

"You have one of the best Event Planning sites that I have seen out there online, and I have seen many. You are like having my own personal Event Planner Coach. Thank you for your great newsletters!"

"Sirena, I did what you suggested and volunteered to help at a event. It worked and now the planner wants me to be in charge of getting the vendors for her event! I am so excited. I also have a chance to help out with a big wedding in October. Your help has been so wonderful! I want this and am going after it!"

"I would like to let you know that your website and emails have been a huge help in my journey to becoming a successful event planner. Thank you so much for helping to make my dreams a reality."

"I have been receiving your newsletter for a few weeks now, and had to write you to say that you have a true gift. Your newsletters are inspirational, informative, and motivational. Thank you so much for taking your time to help others like me with a love for this career by providing us such tools.

We all need mentors and professionals in the field that don't forget where they came from and what they had to do to achieve the success they now enjoy. I appreciate your friendly approach and look forward to reading many more newsletters."

"You inspire and motivate me every time I open your mail. Without your authentic guidance, advice, help, encouragement and support I would not be as confident in becoming an event planner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!! I've spent hours upon hours researching event planning on the web, trying to figure out how to get started in this business. Yours is the only site that helps true beginners learn what steps to take. I am so thankful I stumbled upon your site!!!"

"I would like to just thank you for your amazing website. I have always known that I want a career not just a job; and after reading your entire website (which is the only website I can honestly say I have read every single word) I now know that event management is for me. I have even printed your words so I can put them in a folder and use them as guidance for future referencing for starting my career. I look forward to your news letters. Thanks a million!"

"I just wanted to send a quick thank you for all of your time and effort you put into all of these newsletters. They really are such a huge help. As a senior high school student headed to university and hoping to get into the event planning industry, your newsletters keep me motivated to stay on the right track and not back out, especially since there isn't much (useful) information out there about the industry. I would definitely recommend your website to a friend."

"I would like to thank you for a great job on your newsletter. I have been in event planning for 10 years and your weekly emails always give me something new to take away and use, as well as give me new reasons to love my job. Thanks for your hard work!"

"I have in fact read through your whole website and find it amazing. To be honest, I have not found anything as insightful anywhere on the internet. It is very well organized and chock full of information. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I love your website and in the last couple months I have kept coming back. I have always loved the idea of being an event coordinator, just never took the time to learn more about it until I came across your website. I have read over and over again what it is that a planner does and the skills and attributes you need to have for a job like this. I am always excited to open every newsletter you send, and always read your site to see if you've written more great information. Please keep it coming!"
