Plan the Business!

When I started this event planning business, I knew it was for me! I knew helping people present a grand event or social function was my call to servanthood in a different realm. I had the patience needed to help others.

In the seven year that I have been planning events, I moved forward in what I knew and any changes that needed to be made. Yet, in all those years, I never wrote a business plan. WHY? I started this business with the want, the show, and the support. However, God has been showing me that I need to write the plan in order to be moved into the next level of success. He will not put people in my path that will help me if I don’t be obedient.

My fellow event planners, if you are in need of more in 2009, start with planning the business. Start by putting on paper the first vision God gave you. The vision that showed you successful in the gifts He gave you. Bring to life what you saw in your dreams and in your heart. God will not play and send you something of confusion.

Take the time to pray about the details. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what needs to be on paper and how it should be written. A business plan should not be intimidating, which means, don’t get scared! God didn’t give us a spirit of fear!

Plan the business according to the all clear instruction book; THE BIBLE! Do not forget where your help comes from. The money to finance the business, to buy the building, to get the website done and more, are blesssings from God, not chances of life!
