No one is safe from failures, especially in creative business. That’s why event-managers often fall into “risk zone” and their self-esteem got hurt. We offer to recover the positive level, following simple recommendations.

3. Vacation fromevents
A well-timed break is useful for cerebration and emotional system recovery. If you need to replenish finances, engage in work not related to events. As a rule, a failed event ends with debts before suppliers, take care of back payment, before organizing a new event.
4. Training
Find a mentor, with whom you can discuss the project, build strategies, then failure chance will be minimized. It’s easier to resolve doubts, prospects and organization features, if you feel the support of an experienced specialist.
5. Inspiration
Find a positive moment in the heap of failures. Why, something was successful, wasn’t it? Find successful strategies in the event and make them the basis for developing a new campaign.
6. Rethinking
