Even the best of us start a new year strong and motivated and get distracted as the months go by. The great thing about having 2018 on the horizon is that you can try again to reach your goals. Even if you achieved the goals you set for yourself last year (and congratulations if you did!), it\u2019s time to set some new ones and take your achievements even further. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions1.jpg\" alt=\"new years resolutions for event planners\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We will say this, though \u2013 make sure you set realistic resolutions. It\u2019s wonderful to be ambitious and push yourself in your event planning career, but you want to ensure that you can actually hit the mark. Don\u2019t set yourself up for disappointment in the year ahead. Set goals that will move you down the road toward improvement, both personally and professionally. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Welcome_2018\"><\/span>Welcome 2018!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The resolutions you set for yourself in 2018 will be dependent on your own career goals and interests. And based on how last year\u2019s resolutions turned out, you likely have a good idea of which ones you want to try again (and which to let go of!). You may also want to go in an entirely new direction in the coming year based on what worked and what didn\u2019t. To inspire you, here are the event planning New Year\u2019s resolutions we\u2019re making for 2018: <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Stay_in_touch_with_customers\"><\/span>1. Stay in touch with customers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Throughout your event planning career, one of the most important skills that you\u2019ll develop is how to network in the industry. You\u2019ll connect with new clients, vendors, and even other planners in your local area, and this is how you\u2019ll grow your business! You may know this already, but it bears repeating \u2013 professional event planning isn\u2019t the kind of business where you\u2019re finished with a client once the event is complete. Networking with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2014\/12\/network-past-clients\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">past clients<\/a> is a very useful tactic to secure repeat business, but you have to go about it the right way. <\/p>\n<p>The last thing you want to do is make your past clients feel hassled. Rather, you want them to be excited to work with you again, so you need to keep in contact with them from the very start. You can do this through post-event phone calls, letters and emails, and even thank you gifts. These are subtle, yet effective ways of making sure your clients remember you and keep your services in mind the next time they need to recommend an event planner, or have another event to plan!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions2.jpg\" alt=\"event manager shaking hands with client\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions2.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Keeping in touch with your clients is also a very easy resolution to keep, as it only requires a bit of advance planning and scheduling to make clients feel valued (and make sure you stay at the top of their list!). <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Streamline_your_process\"><\/span>2. Streamline your process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that professional event planners have seriously busy jobs. Whether you\u2019re meeting with new clients for a consultation or scoping out a venue, you\u2019re always on the go, and staying organized is extremely important. In the past, you may have depended on paper lists or binders (and those are great tactics, don\u2019t get us wrong!), but a new year is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your processes, and perhaps start using tablets or other electronic devices to help you. Not only will a tablet or similar device keep all the details you need in one place, clients will also think you\u2019re modern and up-to-date. <\/p>\n<p>By adopting new technologies and using them to streamline your event planning process, your day-to-day duties will become much easier. You\u2019ll have a much better time staying on track!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Learn_a_new_technique\"><\/span>3. Learn a new technique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best pieces of advice that we can give you as an event planner is to never stop learning. No matter how many events you\u2019ve planned, difficult situations you\u2019ve managed, or courses you\u2019ve taken, you can always keep learning your craft. Whether it\u2019s a new approach to organizing your meetings with clients or even just a new color scheme expected to be popular this season, make learning a technique high on your list of resolutions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions3.jpg\" alt=\"Pinterest wedding cake with green accents\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions3.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As an event planner, the more tips and tricks you can add to your repertoire, the more valuable you\u2019ll become to clients.

If you want to take your skills and knowledge to even higher levels, we recommend checking out some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/online-event-courses\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">advanced specialization courses<\/a> such as Event D\u00e9cor and Destination Wedding Planning \u2013 imagine how in-demand you\u2019ll be with these specific skills under your belt! <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Adopt_a_positive_vocabulary\"><\/span>4. Adopt a positive vocabulary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No one ever said that an event planning career was easy. It\u2019s not! You\u2019re going to run into difficult personalities and face challenging situations on a regular basis \u2013 it\u2019s just the nature of the job. However, feeling negative is no way to handle difficulties, and won\u2019t be useful to you as a professional event planner. Therefore, a great resolution to make for 2018 is to adopt a positive vocabulary, and focus on changing the kinds of words you use to describe the situations you find yourself in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions4.jpg\" alt=\"wedding cake decor \" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions4.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolutions4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, instead of blurting out that the caterer delivered the wrong desserts and you\u2019ve been waiting for an hour, try stating that the caterer made a mistake and brought the wrong desserts, but they\u2019re remedying the situation as quickly as they can. You may not realize the impact of your words (and your inner dialogue), but trust us, when you start removing a negative tone, you\u2019ll feel much calmer and in control when stressful situations arise. Also, clients and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/11\/ready-encounter-4-event-vendors\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vendors<\/a> alike will pick up on your positive attitude and know that you can handle whatever comes your way!<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Considering an event planning career?
