It took being rejected for service at five separate salons due to her 4C textured hair for Stephanie LaFlora to realize that something was terribly wrong with the beauty industry. Driven to solve the problems of her own customer experience and already a serial entrepreneur, storyteller, marketer, and creator, Stephanie founded Crownhunt to make life easier for people with curly hair while helping under-resourced entrepreneurs thrive.

Alongside her business partner and long-time friend, Ryan Holdeman, Stephanie has spent the last decade building multi-sided platforms and working with partners to develop new business models using her background in data-driven product development and strategy. To that end, Crownhunt is a digital marketplace for textured hair, built to help existing hair entrepreneurs reach the 65% of the population with textured hair and to get their products, services, and education to the right people, more effectively. While is a seriously driven entrepreneur, she’s also a troublemaker at heart and serious about having fun. When she’s not building her start-up, she’s often mentoring other aspiring women entrepreneurs by showing them that life is one big adventure worth betting on.

Stephanie shared a wealth of information about:

-What it's like to quit your job to start a business during a pandemic while pregnant;

-What advice would she would give to entrepreneurs considering the same leap;

-How an entrepreneur can build a business that honors diversity and culture;

-How an early-stage startup can get in front of investors and convince them to write a check;

-What the best ways are for a startup to succeed through crowdfunding;

-Why is hair such a big deal, particularly textured hair; and

-so much more!

Thriving on creating something from nothing, Wendy welcomes the creative challenge and complex logistics required to (literally) build an event from the ground up. From design conception to collaborating with the creative team and directing the day-of execution, Wendy respects each stage of the wedding planning process, considering the journey just as important as the destination.

A former television producer, Wendy transferred her talents from directing live TV to weddings. Over a decade since creating Birds of a Feather events, she continues to lean on her problem-resolving skills while remaining quick on her feet on event days.

Named a Top Wedding Planner and Event Designer by Martha Stewart Weddings and Best Wedding Planner in America by BRIDES, Wendy really is an “Idea Machine.” Whether cozy interiors, artful window displays, or wizardly worlds, Wendy uses her love of set design as inspiration to translate the stories of her clients through unexpected details.

Wendy's clients connect to her calm demeanor, sharp wit, and surprising knowledge of pop culture. A diplomatic straight shooter, she guides her clients through potentially sticky situations with transparency, tact, and, most importantly--humor.

Today, after 15 years of owning her own planning and design business, much of Wendy’s time is focused on educating other vendors on best business practices to transform their own businesses through honesty and “tough love”.

In my interview with Wendy, we will learn:

🔸what it means to have a curated creative team;

🔸what the key qualities are to look for in a wedding planner’s dream team;

Annette dives into the realm of sustainable celebrations, a growing trend where eco-conscious choices are becoming a priority for couples. Think locally sourced food, biodegradable decor, and digital invitations. These green solutions are not just thoughtful but are setting the standard for future weddings.

The shift towards intimate and personalized experiences is reshaping the wedding scene. Annette discusses how smaller gatherings are focusing on creating unique experiences, reflecting the couple's story in every detail. Alongside this, she explores the rise of technology integration in weddings. From virtual reality experiences for guests to interactive digital guestbooks, tech is adding a futuristic touch to traditional celebrations.

Bold and unconventional wedding attire is another trend on the rise. Annette talks about how couples are moving away from traditional norms, embracing colorful suits, non-white dresses, and personalized accessories to express their individuality. When it comes to venues, the trend is steering away from the conventional. Art galleries, historic mansions, and natural settings like beaches and forests are becoming favored choices for their distinctive ambiance.

Annette also sheds light on the culinary front. Fusion menus that blend different cultural cuisines are becoming increasingly popular, celebrating the union of diverse backgrounds. Mindfulness and well-being are also playing a crucial role, with elements like wellness retreats and yoga sessions becoming part of the wedding itinerary.

Interactive entertainment options are evolving too. Annette predicts more innovative choices like virtual reality games and live painting in 2024. Even wedding transportation is getting an eco-friendly makeover with options like electric cars and bicycles. Extended celebrations are becoming a norm, transforming weddings from a single-day event to a multi-day experience. This allows couples to spend more quality time with guests, especially those traveling from afar.

Annette also touches on additional trends for 2024, such as unplugged ceremonies, organized toasts, and a focus on guest comfort in seating arrangements. She discusses the fading away of certain trends like awkward seating arrangements and lengthy pre-ceremony photo shoots.

Personalization, sustainability, and embracing technology are at the heart of 2024's wedding trends. These trends are making weddings more memorable and reflective of our changing societal and environmental values.

Join Annette in her Facebook group, Event Planner Society, for more insights and free training for wedding and event planners looking to elevate their game. The future of weddings is brimming with endless possibilities!

Quotes:

• “In 2024, expect to see couples making conscious choices to reduce their environmental footprint. This includes using locally sourced food, biodegradable decor, and digital invitations. Venues that offer green solutions will be particularly in demand.” (1:09 | Annette Naif) 
• “While grand weddings have their charm, there is a growing preference for smaller, more intimate gatherings. These weddings are not just about reducing the guest list, but also about creating personalized experiences for each attendee, reflecting the couple's unique story.” (1:32 | Annette Naif) 
• “From live streaming ceremonies to drone photography, technology continues to play a significant role in modern weddings. In 2024, we might see more advanced tech like virtual reality experiences for guests who can’t attend in person and interactive digital guestbooks.” (1:52 | Annette Naif) 
• “With a growing focus on mental health, couples are incorporating elements of mindfulness and well-being into their weddings. This could be in the form of wellness retreats for the bridal party, yoga sessions on the morning of the wedding, or quiet zones for guests to relax and recharge.” (3:13 | Annette Naif) 
• “The 2024 wedding trends are all about personalization, sustainability, and embracing technology. These trends not only make the wedding experience more memorable for the couple and their guests, but also reflect the changing social and environmental consciousness of our times.” (7:00 | Annette Naif)

In this solo episode, Annette tackles the crucial question: How do you set a price that reflects your worth and yet remains competitive? She delves into the factors that should influence your pricing strategy, from living expenses and experience level to the demand for your services and your location. It's not just about picking a number – Annette discusses the art of balancing market rates with profitability. She even opens up about her own journey, sharing the hard lessons learned from initially undercharging for her services.

Annette's advice doesn't stop at pricing. She also explores how different aspects of your service – like managing large-scale events or offering specialized services – can and should influence your rates. And what about those hidden costs of running a business? Annette covers it all, from staff salaries to marketing and the nitty-gritty of contracts. Annette also highlights the power of exceptional customer service. It's not just about getting the job done; it's about creating an experience that leads to referrals and repeat business. 

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to learn even more from Annette; join her Facebook group, Event Planner Society. This platform is a goldmine for budding and experienced planners alike, offering networking, mindset tips, and free training sessions. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your existing strategy, Annette's experience and insights are invaluable.

Quotes

• “Determine what your hourly rate should be according to the amount of money you need to pay for your living expenses. Your hourly rate should be based on your experience level, your demand of services. If you are in high demand, raise your prices and your location. If you are not sure what planners are making in your area, you can research competitors pricing to ensure your rates are competitive yet profitable. You'll also want to charge higher rates for peak wedding seasons, the complexity and scale of the event, and for specialized services. Please be sure you're pricing accordingly and not treating your business like a hobby.” (:56 | Annette Naif)
• “Revenue includes charges for planning and coordinating the event. It could be a flat fee, percentage of total wedding or event budget, or hourly rates. Offering packages that include various services like the venue coordination, vendor management, et cetera, is another option in pricing your services. There are extra services that you should be charging for, such as decor design, day of coordination, rehearsal dinner, or post-wedding brunch arrangements. If a sleeping block is needed, please be sure that you are requesting a 10% commission from the hotel on the sleeping room block. If you are not getting a commission on the sleeping room block, you are leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table. You can also receive commissions from standalone venues and vendors, which can add up to a lot of money in your pocket. Another way to make a profit is to mark up the costs of your staff.” (1:56 | Annette Naif)
• “You want to determine right up front if this client is a good fit for you and that starts with the budget. You don't want to waste your time putting together a proposal to find out they are not realistic about what it's going to cost for their event.” (5:12 | Annette Naif)

He sheds light on the significance of trust and teamwork with vendors, highlighting how their expertise can elevate the success of any event. Brian also underscores the importance of maintaining robust client relationships, not just for the immediate business they bring, but for the potential referrals and future opportunities they can generate.

Brian talks about the internal dynamics of running a successful event planning business. He shares his belief in giving his team creative freedom and the trust necessary to execute remarkable events. He candidly discusses the challenges of staff turnover in the industry and the strategies to keep the team engaged and motivated.

Staying current in this ever-evolving industry is crucial, and Brian and Annette touch upon the importance of keeping up with new trends and innovations. They talk about the benefits of attending industry events and conferences to stay informed and network with fellow professionals.

Wrapping up the episode is a lightning round where Brian reveals his sources of inspiration, favorite business tools, and exciting plans for the future.

Quotes

• “It's your vendors that help make you look good, but it's also your clients who are referring you and who are your business card. I always look at every event as the opportunity to showcase what I do, and every person in the room is also a potential client.” (7:42 | Brian Worley)
• “When you give people, especially creatives, the space to be creative, you're going to get so much more out of them and you're going to a better product. So I always am like, go with it. This is my, this is my vision. This is what I want. Now you have fun with it because I think that when they have fun with it, then it makes me look good, too.” (20:19 | Brian Worley)
• “When I started, I was in tears. First of all, I had done events for 20 years, so I knew how to do events. I just didn't know how to run the business. What should my pricing be? What forms should I have? How do I talk to the client? What's the whole process, right? My systems and all of that. So I was in tears. I couldn't get anybody to help me. I'd reach out to people who were successful in the business because I wasn't starting really at the bottom. I just needed to know what should my business look like so I can just run it? And nobody would help me. So I knew... Nobody would help me. I knew then that someday when my business is going and things are going, I've been coaching one-on-one for about eight years because people have reached out and said, can you help me? And I said, sure. And so I put a coaching program together for one-on-one, but now I'm building a group program so I can help many.” (52:42 | Annette Naif)

Mark Ritter is the CEO of MBFS and Nu Direction Lending. He is an expert in all things credit union and small business lending. Both organized are owned by credit unions and designed to help credit unions fund more loans to real estate investors and small business owners in their communities. In 2002, Mark started Members 1st Federal Credit Union’s business lending program as “one person and a desk” with no policies, products, staff, systems, or business members. That program grew to be one of the top ten in the nation in the number of loans, balances outstanding, and loan participation for federal credit unions.

After ten years at Members 1st, he took on the challenge of being the CEO of a business lending credit union service organization (CUSO). Mark was the fifth CEO in five years for the organization, which lost money every month of its existence. In the past eight years at MBFS, Mark increased the number of credit unions the company services by over 8x, grew the revenue by 15x, and ensured positive cash flow every full year he’s been at the CUSO. More importantly, MBFS has helped countless credit union members gain the financing they need for small business and real estate investment needs. 

In this episode, we discuss

• why businesses should consider a credit union for business loans today;
• what the process is for a small business loan through a credit union;
• what is an SBA loan and what's the process like;
• what the keys are to successfully getting a business/investment real estate loan;
• the biggest mistakes that small businesses make when looking for financing;
• what the marketplace is like for getting a business/investment real estate loan today; and
• so much more!
