Today we’d like to introduce you to Kelsey Jones.
Kelsey, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Certainly! Starting a business while being in college was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience for me. It all began with a simple idea and a lot of passion.
During my time in college, I noticed a gap in the market for event planning services tailored to students and young professionals. With my background in event management and a desire to turn my passion into a business, I decided to take the leap and start my own event planning company.
I began by offering my services to friends and family at discounted rates to build up my portfolio and gain valuable experience. As word of mouth spread, I started to receive more inquiries and gradually expanded my client base.
To balance my studies and my business, I had to develop strong time management and organizational skills. There were late nights and early mornings, but seeing my business grow and thrive made it all worth it.
It hasn’t always been easy, but the journey has been incredibly fulfilling, and I’m excited to see where the future takes me and my business.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Some of the struggles along the way have included dealing with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. There were moments when it felt overwhelming, and I questioned whether I would ever find relief.
Finding the right support system, including therapy, has been crucial in helping me manage my mental health. Learning coping mechanisms and self-care practices has also been essential in finding moments of peace and stability amidst the chaos.
It hasn’t been easy, but every step forward, no matter how small, has been a victory. I’ve learned to be kinder to myself, to celebrate the small victories, and to keep pushing forward, one day at a time.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As an event planner, I specialize in creating unforgettable experiences for my clients. From corporate events to birthday parties and everything in between, I ensure that every detail is meticulously planned and executed to perfection.
I’m known for my creativity, attention to detail, and ability to transform ideas into extraordinary events. Whether it’s finding the perfect venue, curating the ideal atmosphere, or coordinating seamless logistics, I take pride in delivering events that exceed expectations.
As a spoken word poet, I specialize in using words to evoke emotion, inspire change, and captivate audiences. I’m known for my powerful performances that blend storytelling, rhythm, and passion to create unforgettable moments on stage.
What I’m most proud of is my ability to bring people’s visions to life, whether through organizing an event that exceeds their expectations or delivering a spoken word performance that leaves a lasting impact. What sets me apart is my dedication to understanding my client’s needs and my commitment to bringing a unique and personal touch to everything I do.
What would you say has been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
One of the best lessons I’ve learned is that failure is not the end but an opportunity to learn and grow. It’s essential to embrace failure, reflect on it, and use it as a steppingstone toward improvement and success. Each failure teaches us valuable lessons and brings us closer to achieving our goals if we’re willing to learn from it.
