1. While there’s no such thing as a perfect plan, still it’s best to have a plan to serve as your guide.
2. People don’t have the same work ethic as you do, so don’t expect them to do their end of the bargain at all times. Be on your toes always because the name of the game is improvisation and damage control.
3. Most of the things you dread don’t come to pass, so take it easy.
4. Negotiate but don’t overstep the line. In short, know when to quit.
5. Listen to all types of feedback but measure your performance against the goals you have set for yourself from the get-go.
6. There are people who take advantage. Shun them as future event partners.
7. Acquire new skills as you can because when the situation calls for such, they come in handy in ways you couldn't imagine.
8. Even if things have gotten difficult and messy, make everything look easy. In short, don't lose your cool. And don't sweat.
9. Be honest to your client. And always stand by your word.
10. For all your good intentions to come true, pray without ceasing.
May I add. Know how to deal with difficult clients, understand that she became Bridezilla due to stress and anxiety of her big day. If the bride from hell calms down, however, know that Bridezilla has relatives who also think they know better. (this coming from a former events planner, wedding host and photographer)
