In today’s episode of She Creates Business, a Podcast for Wedding Pros host Kinsey Roberts sits down with the dynamic Amelia Holder, a seasoned entrepreneur and the visionary behind Emerson Fields, a premier wedding venue in Missouri. Celebrating eight years of business success, Amelia shares eight invaluable lessons she's garnered along her journey—four pivotal insights that propelled her venue to become a sought-after destination and four misconceptions that, surprisingly, had little impact on her entrepreneurial path.
Four Misconceptions That Didn't Impact Success
Perfection Is Not Required: Launching with everything perfectly in place is not necessary. Flexibility and adaptability are key.
A Business Degree Isn't Essential:Practical experience and a strong vision can outweigh formal education in entrepreneurship.
Overcoming the Fear of Failure: Success involves pushing past fear and skepticism, including your own and others'.
Public Perception and Changes: The fear that everyone is watching and judging your every move is unfounded. Flexibility in business decisions is crucial.
Four Key Insights that DID Impact Success
Building a Strong Network: Cultivating relationships with vendors, clients, and the community is invaluable for growth and support.
Embracing 'Scary Asks': Pushing beyond comfort zones, especially in pricing and collaborations, is essential for business development.
The Importance of Outsourcing: Delegating tasks outside one's expertise or preference can significantly propel business growth.
Trusting Your Gut: Personal intuition and understanding of your client base are irreplaceable guides in making business decisions.
This episode is a goldmine of wisdom for anyone navigating the complexities of the wedding industry. Amelia's journey from capturing memories behind the lens to creating them at Emerson Fields is a compelling narrative of transformation, growth, and the enduring significance of creating a legacy by doing the things that really matter.

JOIN THE MARKETING SPRINT: https://www.theplannersvault.com/shecreatesbusiness Are you hiding from your clients?
This is the question we're asking in Episode 186 of the She Creates Business Podcast.
As a marketing coach, I often see wedding pros hiding from their clients. I don't mean they're not on IG Stories (though that's a piece of the puzzle).
I mean they're not marketing in a meaningful and impactful way that brings in clients and revenue.
I've brought my friend Megan Gillikin from Weddings for Real and The Planner's Vault onto the podcast today to help you break that cycle!
It's time to step out of the same patterns that are NOT working and step into a culture of in-house marketing that will change your booking rate and your revenue. JOIN THE MARKETING SPRINT: https://www.theplannersvault.com/shecreatesbusiness
