127: Foundational Practices We Can Implement in Our Wedding Business with Heidi Wight of Ira & Lucy

Ira & Lucy Wedding Professionals Spring Workshop   Today, I'm honored to welcome Heidi Wight, Owner & Principal Designer from Ira & Lucy, to the podcast. If her name sounds familiar, it's because I've mentioned her multiple times on the podcast because I learned the concept of the "Communication Clause" in a contract from her! I first met Heidi at Rooted in the Rockies, a wedding professionals conference here in Denver, CO. I sat in Heidi's breakout session at this conference taking PAGES of notes because she is a master educator and I didn't want to miss anything - I knew I had to have her on the podcast! In today's episode, Heidi is throwing down on: Foundational building principals for any wedding business How to hire WELL How to diversify your income Book recommendations for wedding pros AND MORE!
