| 沒有人一天到晚都在結婚,大部分會上這網站的都是第一次接觸這些惱人的婚禮籌備工作,也都是第一次接觸這些相關的行業. 這篇文章是寫給哪些,期待自己有個與眾不同且經濟實惠的婚禮的新人,我相信就算是"好野人"也是用這樣的想法在花他們婚禮的每一分錢. (給那些懶得看英文的同學) 蘋果妹的雞婆摘要: 揚棄當一個"好女孩"的想法,當你開始籌備婚禮,你是進入一個business,要把婚禮當作是發展一個新公司一樣精打細算. 不是說要變成廠商眼中的"澳客",而是要當一個"nice and assertive"girl,讓人家知道: 我甲意你的作品(being nice),但是我懂得如何花我口袋裡的每一分錢,如果想賺我的錢,請照"我的方式"來服務我(being assertive). 請大家一定要記得: price is negotiable! pacakge is negotiable! 不同的人談出來的價錢及內容一定不一樣, 來這裡可以跟大家交換心得和情報,不要罵台灣的婚紗喜餅等價錢都是暗盤,米國這個資本主義龍頭社會也是一樣.我們都要變成真正的"大人",建立一個全新的家庭, 從籌備婚禮開始學習如何理財真的是輝雄重要. p.s. 這個作者是在賣ebook的,我沒有買因為我覺得很貴.我只看她的免費電子報. 跟大家一同努力學習勤儉持家的蘋果妹 Brides often ask me to explain to them specifically how I saved over $10,000 off my own wedding costs and what I always communicate is this - if you don't adopt unrealistic expectations and an "unstoppable" attitude, no one specific technique is going to help you achieve a dream wedding on a budget. For example, in my book I assert "It's your money, so act like it!" and I'd like to explain what I mean by this. First of all, do you consider yourself a "nice" girl? Well I'm sorry to tell you that "nice girls usually throw away hard earned wedding dollars" and here's why... Most of us women are taught from a very young age to be "nice" appeasing little girls. The problem is that when we grow up, many of us still behave this way, putting other's needs before our own, avoiding conflict whenever possible and being less than assertive in situations where it would be in our best interest to be so. Now don't get me wrong, "being nice" is a wonderful asset for making friends, but in business "nice girls" get walked all over...and here's a newsflash: planning a wedding is all about business as you need to interview, hire, sign contracts, manage people etc...all qualities that require a savvy business acumen. Unfortunately, if you're a "nice girl" it's likely that you fall into the category "naive" bride and what this equates to for many aggressive wedding vendors is a big "take advantage of me" sign written all over you! Now I'm certainly not professing you should be "mean" or "bitchy" either because "mean" girls make enemies and get stabbed in the back. What I am professing, based on my experience both in the fashion industry and with coaching brides, is this: a woman who is "Nice and Assertive" commands a magic touch which leads to far greater results than the average "nice" girl will ever achieve... and she is usually extremely well liked (and respected) too! Hmmm...something to think about. So let me compare and contrast plain old "nice" vs. this magic "nice and assertive" approach: First, let's say you're being a "nice" girl. You meet with a wedding photographer who tells you that his price is X, that he keeps the negatives, charges you X for reprints etc. Now being a "nice" girl you simply say, "Okay" I guess this is how things work with wedding photographers and I certainly don't want to create any conflict because I want him to think I'm nice, so I guess I'll just have to accept his terms...after all, they are printed on his brochure." Wrong, wrong, wrong! You must understand that everything is negotiable and you never should pay more than you have to for anything! The only thing you'll get out of the previous exchange is the emotional confirmation that you're a nice girl and a big fat surprise bill when you see how much the reprints are going to cost you after your wedding! Bottom line: You better be rich, if you're going to be nice! Now on the other hand, let's say you're being "nice and assertive" girl and you're meeting with this same photographer. You know that you are the one in charge because you're spending the money, so you "tell" the photographer that you really like his work (being nice), but that if he wants your business, he's going to have to agree to your terms which include giving you the negatives (being assertive). Of course, you're always ready to "walk" if the photographer isn't willing to meet your needs, because you won't settle for anything less and know you'll eventually find a capable photographer who will indeed meet your expectations. If you're thinking this sounds too scary, let me tell you it's really not! I've taught so many women how to do this and not only is it far easier than you'd ever imagine to simply "negotiate", but it's also fun! Just imagine how great you'll feel each time you save a few hundred, or even a few thousand dollars simply by communicating to these vendors at an unconscious level that you're in charge, not them! I mean, if you want to be a nice girl and get average results, be my guest...but if you want to learn more about how to negotiate like a goddess and get outstanding results like I did, I invite you to check out my ebook which teaches in much more detail how to successfully plan and achieve your dream wedding on a budget (revealing all the techniques I used to save over $10,000 off my own wedding expenses). |  |
