What a Wedding Teaches You About No Bullsh** Money & Contract Negotiations

Oh the joys of planning a wedding.  If you weren't reading this and we were talking you would hear the heavy sarcasm dripping from that phrase.  So much to do, so many vendors to talk to and so little time.  If you're an entrepreneur or small business owner and not a "civilian" you'll understand me when I say the pressure to get it all done can really get to you.  That said, I'm currently knee deep in my own wedding planning and found a silver lining to all of the work that vendor negotiations and conversations about why I do not want a "signature cocktail" entail:

BUSINESS LESSONS!  Oh yes! After spending nearly two months on the phone with vendors (all but one being small business owners as per my vow to have a small business wedding) I wanted to share four takeaways from my planning I hope you all can incorporate into your own business practices.  They all fall into the category of No Bullsh** Money & Service Models and you can find the lessons in my latest Diary of a Small Business Owner Post.

Read it, print it out and DO NOT FORGET them! Oh, and then send me bridesmaid dress recommendations ; )
