    "Everyone in My Market Is Slow" and Other Things I Don't Believe

    "Every wedding business is slow right now." I hear this from wedding pros all the time, and I get why it feels reassuring. If everyone's inbox is quiet, it takes some of the pressure off. But I have a different view from behind the scenes of the businesses I coach, and what I'm seeing doesn't always match what's being said in the group chat. On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast: [05:49]: An update about Cue, my intelligent wedding planning software [09:27]: A disclaimer if your wedding business is slow [15:16]: The first thing I hear all the time that I don't believe [19:07]: The second thing I hear all the time that I don't believe [23:19]: The third thing I hear all the time that I don't believe [27:14]: The fourth thing I hear all the time that I don't believe [30:37]: The fifth thing I hear all the time that I don't believe [35:31]: What I believe instead (you want to hear this!)

    Why Decisions Get Harder the More Successful You Become & Questions to Ask Yourself Before Your Next Move
