Hi, my name is Stacie Royer, and I'm a Career Specialist from Austin, Texas. I'm going to talk to you today about becoming an Event Planner. The first thing that you'll need to know is that you love working with people. Event Planners can plan all different types of events, such as corporate events, weddings, or even birthday parties. It can be a lot of fun and also very time consuming. What you'll need to do is start volunteering at different events such as, bridal shops, or trade shows, or other, other local event planners that might allow you to gain that experience and knowledge. You'll also want to take some marketing, accounting, and sales classes to help you become the Entrepreneur that you're wanting to be. Start networking from that point and get in touch with other local vendors that will help with presenting your business and networking with them. Also, create a website and a portfolio, and just hit the ground running.
