Real talk time 👀 You have been draping for a while now. Maybe months. Maybe years. And there is probably one technique — one setup, one fabric behavior, one install type — that still makes you a little nervous when a client requests it. You know the one. Maybe it is: - Cathedral ceilings - Balloon backdrops combined with draping - Tight ceiling installs in low spaces - Getting pipe and drape to look luxury instead of basic - Working with sheer or specialty fabrics - Something else entirely We do not grow past what we will not name. Drop below: What is the one draping challenge you are still working to fully master? This is the safest room you will ever be in. Drop it. Someone else in this community needed to see that they are not alone in it.

Let's talk about where the money is right now 👀 June through August is the busiest booking season for event designers. Weddings. Graduations. Baby showers. Corporate events. Sweet sixteens. The clients are not waiting — they are actively searching for designers right now. And every day you are not visible, not responding fast, not following up — is a booking someone else is getting. Not because they are better than you. Because they showed up and you did not. 💬 Drop below: What is your biggest obstacle to getting booked this summer, honestly? Is it: • Not enough visibility • Slow or inconsistent follow-up • Pricing that feels off • Not enough confidence in your work • Something else entirely Name the real one. Because we cannot fix what we will not face.

Hey PDU fam 💕 Happy Monday and welcome to June. Summer is officially here. And summer means events. Graduations. Weddings. Baby showers. Quinceañeras. Corporate galas. Prom send-offs. The demand is not coming. It is already here. The question is, are you positioned to catch it? This month we are not building confidence from scratch. We are converting the skill you already have into consistent income. Before we start this week, drop in below: ➊ What are you working on or building in your business this week? ➋ Do you have any events booked for June already? Drop the number — even if it is zero. ➌ What would a fully booked June actually look like for you? Say the number out loud. The designers who name their goal are the ones who hit it. Let's go get June. — Precious

Vannessa Smith Msw did the math and made her move. June 1st is three days away. The investment goes up. Vannessa looked at that and decided that today was the day to stop thinking and start building. That is the difference between the designers who grow and the ones who stay exactly where they are. Not talent. Not timing. Decision making. Vannessa is now inside Raising the Bar and everything about her business is about to reflect that. The pricing. The positioning. The clients she attracts. The way she walks into every event from this point forward. All of it is about to shift. We are so proud of you Vannessa. This community has your back and we cannot wait to watch you rise. 🖤 Three days left at the current investment. That is it. Three days. If you are still reading this and something in you knows this is where you need to be, stop reading and start moving. Comment RTB below right now.

Hey PDU fam! Happy Monday. New week, let's get into it. Before you scroll past, drop below real quick: ➊ What skill or project are you working on this week? ➋ What are you planning to actually create or practice? ➌ How could what you are working on this week turn into income? Shoutout to everyone who dropped their update Friday 👇 @Shonna Mack consistency even with a full plate, inquiries followed up on, and draping practice as the focus going into this week. This week let's see it happen. What are you setting up and when?| @Ruth B. showing up to RTB and Drapers Den while still recovering is dedication. This week rest is the priority and we mean it. Come back fully charged. Everything will be here waiting for you. @Tronda Dixon long week, missed call, laptop issue, but you still found the replays and kept going. New laptop incoming and Business Operations training starting this week. Come ready because this Tuesday training is one you do not want to miss or just catch on replay. @Von Sturg venue asked to tag you, uplights purchased, good content captured, and already thinking about add-on packages. That is a business growing in real time. This week get that content posted and start building out what the Masquerade Experience package actually looks like on paper. @Lucy Mireles flower wall, balloon garland, food truck events, family visiting, and tulip season in Holland all at once. You are juggling a lot. This week make sure you are capturing your setups even quickly because that content is sitting right there. Everyone else, Sasha, Daphne, Marie, Nicole, Regina, Donna, Jacqueline, Kimberly, Dianne and the rest of the fam, don't go quiet on a Monday. Drop in and tell us what you are building this week. Let's make it count!
