Here’s a little business transparency…
I recently lost a bride because of a simple typo on her contract. When she pointed it out, I didn’t make excuses or try to justify it. I simply said, “You’re right. I made that mistake, and I apologize.”
Was it an easy fix? Absolutely. Does a typo reflect the quality of my work or what I can create for her wedding? No. But to her, it mattered and I respected that.
I respected her decision, owned my mistake, and took the lesson from it.
Sometimes the clients you don’t book teach you just as much as the ones you do. They show you the little gaps in your process and the details you may need to pay more attention to.
After all these years in business, I still make mistakes. We’re human. The important part is owning it, learning from it, and doing better next time.
Lesson learned: I’m proofreading those contracts a little harder now. 😂 😬🫠
