Happy 1 Year Blog Anniversary to Us!

Kelly and I are sooooooo excited for today…

It’s our Anniversary!!!

One year ago today I (Michelle, here) started writing the Sage Wedding Pros blog.  I have always found myself having “business-y” conversations with fellow wedding colleagues.  I always loved hearing about the strategy of their business.  And, often I found myself asking a gazillion dorky questions: “Who is your customer?”  “How do you market yourself?”  “What is your ROI on that ad?”  In return, I would get asked for advice.  So, I wanted to get some of these thoughts on paper computer screen.  I wanted to take the business of weddings back to basics.  And, so I started Sage Wedding Pros as a resource for all of those things that you might learn if you open up a college textbook in finance, accounting, marketing, or operations.

A few months later Kelly joined me to bring our message to the masses in-person.  We wanted to take the blog to a deeper level and give people REAL TOOLS for creating a sustainable business.  And, because we feel firmly that without a plan, you’ll have a much harder go at being sustainable, we launched The Simple Plan – our easy-peasy approach to writing a business plan in 2 days.  VOILA!  People nationwide are writing business plans with us… and making big differences in their businesses.

So, today… in honor of our 1 year on this blogging universe… we have 2 fun announcements…

The Simple Plan’s NEW WEBSITE!

We have a new website to learn all about The Simple Plan’s speakers, locations, cities, etc.  You’ll be able to find the site by going to:  www.TheSimplePlanSite.biz or by clicking the workshop link in the menu bar above.  This far more user-friendly than navigating our blog for information.  We hope you enjoy it!

Melissa - I started following you on twitter after seeing a few other followers RT’ing your posts. I love your site and hope to attend one of your workshops when you’re in LA again.

For my master’s program I took a class on writing a business plan, and even just a short year later – I never thought to have one for my own business. I still have to write mine out but I appreciated your site to har some reminders for that and SWOT analysis. Thank you!

And love the card holders!! Perfect and to the point!
