What the four days cover
- What event planners actually do. The real day-to-day, the kinds of planners (corporate, wedding, social), and what separates hobby helpers from paid professionals.
- How any event gets planned. The step-by-step process working planners run, from first client conversation to day-of command. Once you see the system, events stop feeling like chaos.
- The money. What planners charge for full planning, partial planning, and coordination, and how the business side works: deposits, contracts, packages.
- Your way in. The realistic first steps, whether you want a side income, a career change, or your own company, and where your first paying client is likely hiding.

Fair questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Four emails, no card, no catch. At the end we'll tell you about our $47 course, and you can take it or leave it.
I have zero experience. Is this too advanced?
The opposite. It's written for the person deciding whether to start.
I already plan events for friends. Will I learn anything?
Day two and day three usually surprise experienced amateurs the most. The pricing material alone tends to pay for the ten minutes.
