February 21st - 25th 2022
The ALL NEW, exclusive 5-day event that helps wedding professionals go from overwhelmed & overworked to streamlined & more profitable than ever.
Running a wedding business can run you into the ground if you let it.
You’re grateful that you’re booking weddings and you love your clients but you’re feeling...
Overworked
Overwhelmed
Frustrated
What you really want is to...
Take your business from overwhelming and all-consuming to streamlined and simplified
Reduce stress and have a strategic plan for building a wildly profitable wedding business so you don’t always feel like you’re flying by the seat of your pants
Have the freedom to run your business YOUR way so that it supports the life you want to live while working with clients you love and making the money you want
Can I let you in on a secret?
You can have all of these things when you learn how to step into the CEO role in your wedding business.
6 and 7 figure wedding businesses aren't built by working harder. They're built by working smarter and thinking like a CEO.
The best part: It can be simple.
Let’s create more ease in your life!
THE WEDDING BUSINESS CEO SUMMIT IS HERE TO HELP YOU TAILOR YOUR WEDDING BUSINESS TO GIVE YOU MORE FREEDOM, MORE PROFIT, AND LESS STRESS.
20+ experts over 5 days will teach you strategies you can use to streamline your business and reduce overwhelm & stress no matter which stage you’re at.
So you can stop...
Wondering how to reclaim your time and still build a wildly profitable wedding business.
Wishing you knew exactly how to get the help you need instead of it feeling like you have to do all the things yourself.
Working too damn hard for someone with the title of CEO, rather than streamlining your business to fit the life you want to live.
It's time to uncover the secrets behind what works (and what doesn't) for wedding pros when it comes to growing & scaling your business without working all the time.
MEET YOUR HOST
Hey! I’m Heidi Thompson and I help wedding professionals grow their businesses without going crazy in the process. I’m a business strategist and marketing geek as well as the host of The Evolve Your Wedding Business Podcast and best-selling author of Clone Your Best Clients. I love making things easier and more effective.
Growing a wedding business can be overwhelming, stressful and it can swallow your social life whole…BUT it doesn’t have to be that way and I’m on a mission to help wedding pros like you grow their businesses without killing themselves.
Your business should give you the freedom to do what you love and the freedom to have a life doing the other things that matter to you.
I created this summit to help you to step into your role as CEO so that you can grow your business without burnout, become more profitable, and know exactly what you need to do to create the business you’ve always dreamed of having.
THE DETAILS
WHEN
The Wedding Business CEO Summit will run from February 21st-25th 2022 with a variety of presentations to choose from each day.
WHERE
I don't know about you, but I prefer to do my hair and leave my house as little as possible. With that being said, you can tune into the summit from the comfort of your couch and yoga pants.
PRESENTATIONS
Presentations will be 30-45 minutes in length. Each presenter will provide you with a worksheet to follow along with so you can make your action plan while tuning in. You can choose between 24 hour access and lifetime access to the presentations.
COMMUNITY
You’ll also have access to a new exciting community where we’ll be partying it up before the summit starts and working together to go from overwhelmed & overworked to streamlined & more profitable than ever.
This new private community will be much better for networking than the usual Facebook group. You'll be able to search the attendee directory and private message people you want to connect with!
BRAND NEW REVENUE STREAM INTERVIEW SERIES
In addition to the incredible presentations we have lined up for you, I've also created a brand new interview series featuring wedding pros who have created and launched new revenue streams in their business.
There are limitless ways you can make money in your business and this series highlights unique revenue streams that different wedding pros have come up with. They break down what they decided to sell, the struggles they had along the way, what their results have been like, and what they wish they would have known in the beginning.
SCHOLARSHIP
I am dedicated to helping you go from overwhelmed & overworked to streamlined & more profitable than ever. To help, you’ll hear about my signature membership, The Wedding Business Collective, here and there throughout the event.
On the final day, one lucky (and engaged) attendee will be selected to win a full 6 month scholarship and have instant access to my membership, The Wedding Business Collective. It includes access to the step-by-step 6 Figure Wedding Business Roadmap, $5000+ in business and marketing trainings, quarterly planning sessions, and personal support to make growing your wedding business EASY.
Stay tuned for details and your chance to apply!
IMPLEMENTATION DAY
Watching actionable presentations is great, but to see real change happen you'll have to take action. And doing so alongside others with similar goals is powerful. That's why we'll have live, interactive events on Day 5! These sessions include:
-
- Action Taker Session - Create your plan of action to implement what you've learned in this live workshop-style implementation session.
-
- Co-Working Session - Get work done alongside other wedding pros.
-
- Networking Session - Break into small groups to get to know other wedding pros (and future business besties), share what you've learned, and help each other move forward!
-
- How To Build a 6 Figure Wedding Business Without Working All The Time Masterclass - Learn about Heidi's 3-Part Framework To Build A 6 Figure Wedding Business Without Working All The Time and how you can use it. You'll also hear more about her signature membership, The Wedding Business Collective after the training.
-
- 3 Keys To Your Next Profitable Revenue Stream Masterclass - Learn about the 3 keys to adding a new profitable revenue stream to your business. Learn how you can build a new revenue stream to support the life you want to life care of your business as well as bring in added revenue. You'll also hear more about Heidi's new Revenue Stream In A Day VIP Day after the training.
- These sessions have been designed to take what you'll learn throughout the week and get you taking action toward becoming more streamlined and profitable than ever.
