Karen's website is spot on as she's been in the business over 25 years. She is well known and trains for many party planning companies on a national basis. You can actually sign up for free emails from her site that are motivating and helpful and her newsletter is worth a read every month. Karen also has a blog that is great and you can leave comments and ask questions which she actually answers! She also sells a CD training set that is unbelievable. Having listened to each CD myself I can honestly say she is a treasure in this business. Here tele-seminars are often free to the public and another way to get to utilize her expertise for free.
WAHM.com is another helpful site that allows women from all walks of life but specifically mothers find resources and other party planners to gain wisdom from. I love the WAHM forums the best. There are articles, forums, and blogs on this site dedicated to the party planning business and other work at home businesses. I find the people that participate on this website to be helpful, understanding, and truly great listeners. It's vital to get yourself a login so you can participate and become part of this awesome community. You will find that the more you help others, the more you'll learn about yourself and find ways to accomplish the goals and dreams you've set for yourself.
There are many other websites available but I've found these two to be the "greatest" source of information for party planners and if you just plug into the training located on these sites you'll have enough information to become a success at your craft and book more parties and make more money than you would have without them.
