YOU'VE HIRED JODY-ANN, NOW WHAT?

Is this your first time working with a Business Consultant or Coach?

If it is, I wanted to share a few success tips with you before accessing the resources.

BE HONEST & CURIOUS - It can be difficult as business owners to share our weaknesses, but being transparent will allow us to better identify and focus on the areas in which you need the most support. Ask questions, bring up challenges and just establish an open communication. Our time together won't be effective if you take a passive role to seeking answers. (Passive does NOT equal profit!).
HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS - Coaching/Consulting can help you be more successful - but it won't make you a millionaire overnight. You'll still have to be willing to invest the time and energy into your company and do the tasks required to get there.
UNDERSTAND YOUR COACH/CONSULTANT'S ROLE - Your business consultant is there to pass on knowledge, tutorials, tools, advice and recommendations, not make decisions or run your business for you.
BE OPEN TO AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP - A successful business consulting engagement will put you in a good place to advance your business. But you may wish to return periodically as your business grows and becomes more complex. Continuous learning is key.

Now for the icing on the cake...

my personal COURSE LIBRARY

I've spent the last few years dumping a ton of knowledge into courses that my clients can access at anytime to help them learn outside of our consulting sessions.

These courses are structured to provide step by step learning opportunities on some of the most complex marketing strategies around. Tailored specifically to event and wedding planners, these courses are your business Netflix (outside of my YouTube channel!)

All clients in VIP programs of 3 months or more will be provided with access to the course library at no extra charge.

Follow these steps to enroll:

Visit my School’s page here: https://the-event-certificate.teachable.com/
Select the “Sign Up” option at the top of the page to register for the school
Once you’re registered just send me an email and let me know which course(s) you would like access to and I’ll have you enrolled.
THAT’S IT!

Thank you for visiting the CEO Suite!

We're about to hop on a pretty bumpy roller-coaster ride. There will be highs and there will be lows, but I promise you, I'll be holding your hand throughout the entire process.
