We hope that these suggestions helped you get organized, get positive, and get down to business.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s ever made a New Year\u2019s resolution, however, knows how hard they can be to keep. The holidays are always busy and building yourself a new routine around your resolutions can be challenging. Even if you didn\u2019t keep them in 2015, New Year\u2019s resolutions are worth making! Setting yourself new goals is never a bad thing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/2016-new-years-resolutions-for-event-planners\/#2015s_resolutions\" >2015\u2019s resolutions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/2016-new-years-resolutions-for-event-planners\/#Your_year_in_review\" >Your year in review<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/2016-new-years-resolutions-for-event-planners\/#Plan_for_2016\" >Plan for 2016!<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/2016-new-years-resolutions-for-event-planners\/#Tell_us_about_it\" >Tell us about it!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2015s_resolutions\"><\/span>2015\u2019s resolutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the end of 2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2014\/12\/new-years-resolutions-event-planners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we suggested some resolutions<\/a> that we thought might help you feel fresh and prepared to take on a whole new year. Organization and communication were some top priorities on the list.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, we encouraged you to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gather feedback from your clients<\/li>\n<li>Clarify and ask questions<\/li>\n<li>Take big projects piece by piece<\/li>\n<li>Adopt a positive vocabulary<\/li>\n<li>Streamline your planning process<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Organized-business-woman-on-tablet.jpg\" alt=\"Organized business woman on tablet\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Organized-business-woman-on-tablet.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Organized-business-woman-on-tablet-281x300.jpg 281w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_year_in_review\"><\/span>Your year in review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you give our resolutions a shot in 2015? Lots of people start the year strong and get distracted as the months go by. Don\u2019t feel bad if this was you! Perhaps there were some resolutions you stuck with and others that you let go. Either way, you can try reaching those goals again in 2016!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you made some resolutions last year and you were very successful? In that case, it\u2019s time to set yourself some new goals! Are there other areas of your planning process that you\u2019d like to improve? Based on the things you did well last year, what would you like to achieve in 2016?<\/p>\n<p>Remember to choose realistic resolutions that you\u2019ll be able to commit to. Your goal should be to achieve new things, not set yourself up for disappointment. The New Year is simply a little extra motivation to set you down the path towards improvement, both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_for_2016\"><\/span>Plan for 2016!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you set yourself event planning goals last year, you might have a good idea of which ones you\u2019d like to try again. You might also feel inspired to set completely different goals based on your experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the event planning New Year\u2019s resolutions we\u2019re making for 2016!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2016-pink-bride.jpg\" alt=\"2016 pink bride\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2016-pink-bride.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2016-pink-bride-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1. Try a new planning software<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/top-event-planning-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Event planning software<\/a> isn\u2019t for everyone, but you\u2019ll never know whether you\u2019ll like it unless you try! Many event planners find planning software beneficial, particularly for very large events or ones with many small details. Planning software lets you create seating plans, organize floor plans, keep contact lists, send and share files easily, and keep your to-do lists updated. Don\u2019t settle for the first one you see in a Google search! Look into a few programs and maybe even try a few free trials before you choose which software is best for you. This resolution might be an extension of last year\u2019s goal to streamline your planning process. Good planning software can make things quick and easy!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Learn a new technique<\/h3>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a new approach to organizing your client consultation meetings or even just a new color scheme suspected to be popular this season, set out to learn something new this year. The more tips, tricks, and skills you can add to your planning tool belt, the more you have to offer your clients. The best planning professionals are those who understand that even people with experience should never stop learning their craft. Developing your skills each year will help you keep up with trends and evolve as a planner instead of stagnating.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<h3>3. Seek out new opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>Professional opportunities for event planners come in many different forms. If you\u2019re still a beginner, you might seek an assistantship with a more experienced planner in order to observe and absorb their skill. If you\u2019d like something much more thorough, you might build on your event planning certification by enrolling in a degree program in events management. Perhaps your new opportunity isn\u2019t directly a learning position, even though it\u2019ll undoubtedly still teach you some things? Applying for a new position with a prestigious event planning company might be just the thing you need to evolve as a professional this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Business-people-shaking-hands.jpg\" alt=\"Business people shaking hands\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Business-people-shaking-hands.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Business-people-shaking-hands-245x300.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>4. Network with a new professional<\/h3>\n<p>As an event planner, you\u2019re used to networking with vendors. Occasionally, however, a planner might come across a particular person whose work they love and whose skills they admire to no end. Maybe 2016 is the perfect chance to approach that photographer you\u2019ve always wanted to do a styled shoot with, or the well-known d\u00e9cor specialist from the city that recently moved home to start a second brand of her successful business? Approaching new professionals and expanding your business contacts is a great way of networking in the New Year.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Get your work published<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe 2015 held nothing but success for you! You organized gorgeous dinners, planned luxurious weddings, and expanded your business contacts two-fold. It might be time to spread your name a little wider now that you\u2019ve got the experience to back it up. Consider investing time in 2016 into getting your work published. Research blogs, websites, magazines, and perhaps even television shows, and see what their requirements are for submissions. Organize a styled shoot, collect photos from weddings you planned last season, and use your hard work to benefit your reputation and widen your client base.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"661\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Published-event-planner-portfolio-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Published event planner portfolio photo\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Published-event-planner-portfolio-photo.jpg 661w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Published-event-planner-portfolio-photo-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_us_about_it\"><\/span>Tell us about it!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you make one of our resolutions in 2015?
