What commitments did you make during Covid? 

Maybe you vowed to change the way you ran your wedding planning business. Or, maybe the pandemic inspired you to start your business. 

Now, 5 years after shutdowns began, have you lost sight of the lessons you learned during that difficult time? 

This week on Wedding Industry Insider, Amber Anderson and Eddie Babbage are talking about busyness, overwork, and what it means for our success. Amber is the owner of Refine for Wedding Planners, an educational resource and community for planners, and she’s urging us all to “break up with busy” and create a business that works for you.
