It is Launch day for my personal brand The Shaun Cox and I am so excited to share this day with each one of you amazing Inspired Wedding Planners.

This project came in the midst of planning a new venture that I shared with you 40 days ago using the hastag #30daylaunchchallenge.  This new concept of a "planning division" of A D.I.Y. Affair Weddings and Events was  brought to me by one of my Associate Wedding Coordinators. In the start of phase of planning and laying the foundation of who the target market would be for this new project I found myself lost and confused as to who the target market of this project would be. I stepped back and continued to focus on being me, running the day to day operations of A D.I.Y. Affair Weddings and Events and continuing my social media craze of posting , posting posting and engagement with you guys because that is what I truly have a passion for. The #30daylaunchchallenge did not go away what I was launching simply changed, and that is what we do in life right when the wind blows and it doesn't feel so good we go and reaccess the situation and start fresh right ? That is what you are experiencing right now with the launch of my personal brand The Shaun Cox 

Every since I started scoping there hasn't been a day that has gone by that a fellow Inspired Wedding Planner hasn't reached out to me to send a thanks for me being me or simply sharing her story. This really started to speak to me, so I decided to create a space where I can continue to connect with fellow Inspired Planners whether it is 1:00 am and everyone is sleep and you can come here to be inspired in a blog post , or whether you are revamping your business during engagement season and you feel like it is the perfect time to take on a self study course that you can complete in less than two hours to get you on the fast track. I may not know what your exact needs are but having a space that encourages enagement gives us the perfect platform to connect and continue to thrive in this online community that we have created and will allow me to hear your needs along the way.

Now here is the thing , I will not be creating an online Facebook group. For me personally I can sometimes get overwhelmed and distracted and hearing the noise of what everyone else has going on I find it can sometime be a distraction, so I do not have a desire to create a mass group. Also with that comes the responsibility of facilitating the group so that the goal and the mission thrives and well such a commitment keeps me from focusing on other areas I feel I need to prioritize. However, I have created the perfect spot here on The Shaun Cox with our Advice page , all you have to do is fill out the form and I will select one question to address on Persicope on Sundays for  Q & A Planner to Planner Sunday. Another bonus.............. I will be launcing a Mentoring and Mastermind group called
" Listen Girl" in January. This will be an intimate group of ladies that would like to take their commitment to workng on their business goal a bit more seriously and get focused. "Listen Girl" will be by application only and will be limited to 10 or fewer ladies. The sessions will run in 6 months cycles which gives me the opportunity to connect and work with up to 20 Inspired Wedding Planners each year! " Listen Girl " is an investment based mentoring- mastermind program. Why the cost ? It raises the accountability factor for me , to drive you as your mentor and it increases the accountability for you to put in actionable steps !
