As you work toward becoming a party plan superstar, you will equip yourself with the skills of an elite business leader and inspire others to be the best that they can be. The more successful they become, the more successful you will become.

What draws women to party plan is that it is an equal opportunity, discrimination-free business. There is room at the top for anyone with the courage to dream big dreams and the discipline to see them to completion. What makes the business so special is that the only way you can fail is if you quit. If you are willing to work, willing to learn, and willing to stay the distance, anything and everything is possible.

This book has equipped you with the knowledge to become a party plan superstar. It’s time to apply what you have learned. There’s no greater dream stealer than procrastination, and there’s no better time than this minute to start transforming your life, one party at a time.

Start by refusing to allow forces beyond your control to undermine your destiny. Never give up on your goals, whatever happens in the economy or with challenges you face personally. Instead of waiting for the situation to get better, work on making yourself better.

The single most important ingredient in the recipe for success is courage:

It takes courage to move beyond doubts and disappointments to pursue what you really want in life.

It takes courage to walk away from a job that has passed its use-by date and to take responsibility for your personal and financial future.

It takes courage to stop expecting others to improve and to focus on improving yourself.

It takes courage to stop waiting for your circumstances to improve and to start focusing on improving your circumstances.

It takes courage to move on from mistakes and focus on shaping your future.

It takes courage to recognize when something is not working and to change it fast.

It takes courage to refuse to let those who have given up on their dreams sabotage yours.

It takes courage to keep moving until you achieve your goals, whatever setbacks you experience along the way.

It takes courage to pay it forward so that others can follow in your footsteps.

It takes courage to accept that you can’t make excuses and money at the same time.

A meaningful goal + knowledge + courage + discipline = party plan superstar!

Believing in yourself, believing in your business, and believing in your dreams will give you all the power you need to make your dreams come true.
