Are you a party person? Do your friends and relatives say you always host the best get-togethers? You might have a talent that could translate into a successful home-based business: event planning.
Event planners help organize everything from weddings to business seminars, trade shows to family reunions. These events take a lot of work to pull together, and many people and companies out there are happy to turn over the responsibility for it all to a professional -- you.
You have to be well-organized in this line of work -- if one speaker or photographer fails to show up, it could ruin everything. You also need to be good with people, an effective communicator, a sharp negotiator ... and have a lot of energy.
Not sure how to get started? One good resource is the Association of Bridal Consultants: you can find the organization online at http://www.bridalnet.com or call at 860-355-0464. Or, check out the International Society of Meeting Planners at http://www.iami.org/ or 320-763-4919.
