 Interview with wedding planner and published author Crystal Marie Young-Lewis of Crystal Marie Events of Detroit MichiganTell us about Crystal Marie Events and How it all got started ? In 2008, I helped a friend with a fashion show. She was more aware of my talents than I was because I thought she was nuts when she urged me to start an event planning business. I made a bet with her—if the event was a success, then I would. If it wasn’t, well that’s a different story that I guess we’ll never know, because…the event was a huge success I secured national sponsors and the attendance was impeccable, the event was even in the Newspaper, which was a big deal to me... and that's how Crystal Marie Events LLC was started! What is your Jam? What is that one powerhouse thing you are known for when it comes to planning weddings. My JAM is stepping out of the box. Not doing your cookie cutter event. I love when clients come to me and say hey I need wedding transportation but I don't want a limo or horse and carriage..I say okay lets do a Trolley. Or my fiancé is part African and I want to surprise him with something special during the ceremony..I say okay lets open it up with African Dancers..clients like that keep me on my toes and keep my creative juices flowing. I love thinking beyond the norm and pushing events to the limit..that's how I stand apart from other companies in my area. What made you apply to be apart of Listen Girl Mastermind and mentoring cycle 1? I knew in order for me to reach the next level in my business I needed a mentor who had been there and done that..someone who shined in her own right and was as real and as honest as me. I knew that she would tell me what I needed to hear not what I wanted...let's face it everyone's an event planner but I knew with the knowledge and tips that I gained from Shaun and the other Listen Girls that I would be unstoppable rolling into the new phase of my business.  You recently did a company rebrand , please share more about the process and those things you learned during the process? OMG!!! That process was so scary!! It was like childhood and the first day of school..lol. Would the other kids like me..lol. When it came down to it I had to be true to myself. My rebranding included a name change, new website, videos and a book all at the same time. I was becoming overwhelmed but I knew I wanted something different. Everything that I researched seemed so cookie cutter and I want my prices to reflect my brand. Finding a designer who understood my vision was the hard part. I wanted to feature more things about me and my company than the average rebrand so I did a week instead of a day. I also learned that rebranding is expensive..lol. The website, the pictures, the videos, me publishing a book, etc. but just how I stress to my clients quality over quantity I knew I had to hire professionals for the level I wanted to go. I learned that being yourself is the way to go. I kept tunnel vision through the whole process and really put confidence in myself to say hey you can do this and guess what..I DID!! What types of things has Listen Girl been able to assist you with thus far in your business? Overall confidence and putting systems in place. Really showing people that you are a business, not a hobby. Being comfortable in my pricing and standing true to that. What is one of your most proudest accomplishments to date ? The Girlfriends Guide To A Crystal Clear Bride! I never thought I could write a book. When I mentioned it to Shaun she gave me that extra confidence I needed to actually pursue it. I wanted something that would stand me apart from other planners and open doors to do other things within the industry that I love. I also wanted something to help other planners with their brides as well. Using the book as a welcome gift or help with their planning process if they are a month of client.

Mid- Week Motivation: Let's Be Clear on The Goal So this week over in Level Up + Plan we have been talking about "How to Follow Up with Clients after a no show" " so if you haven't checked that out be sure to check out the pinned post in the group as you could be letting couples who are already interested in your services walk right out the door with money you could be earning to increase your revenue. , but today I want to talk to you about the major goal. You are googling your competition like mad trying to see what they are up to and what they are doing. You have checked out their website and IG Pages and you are probably more familiar with what is on their landing page than your own. #epicfail . You can not level up in your own business when you are taking on the worries and stresses of someone else's business operations. STOP ITIt is good to know what is going on around you because the expectation is that you want to be nothing like your competition . Now if you are on the other end of the spectrum and you are like " I don't have competition " then you are crazy. I use to think that same thing to and then I woke the hell up. #Hello So now your like okay Shaun where are you going with this. The goal is not to compete . The goal is to dominate ! DominationWhen you dominate your market there is no one around you to compare apples to oranges . When you dominate you aren't focus on what your peers are doing because you are too busy beasting out the next new thing . The goal is not to blend in with what is going on around you but do something and create something so different that you dominate the market. When you dominate , what your competition is doing is not relevant. Wake Up |
