Save your seat for this free training.Katie Sautter was last on this podcast after booking 29 weddings in her first year as a wedding planner. At the time, she was still working her engineering 9-to-5, logging about 100 hours a week between both jobs, and just starting to think about what it might look like to go all in.She went all in.In 2025, Katie quit her job, built a team of five, went from under $10K in revenue to six figures, and did all of it in a single year. She attributes a huge chunk of that growth to a framework called the Lazy Genius Way, and to one particular tool her team built from scratch: a 75-step wedding management system she calls the Due Date Dashboard.In this episode, Katie walks through exactly how she did it, what the Lazy Genius principles actually look like applied to a wedding planning business, how she survived 12 weddings in 8 weeks without anything falling through the cracks, and why she's now selling the Due Date Dashboard so other planners can use it too.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/359Get your FREE Ticket to Book More Weddings Summit at https://www.bookmoreweddingssummit.com/ Get your FREE Ticket to Book More Weddings Summit at https://www.bookmoreweddingssummit.com/———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔
