About this episode

Aislinn McKenna discusses the real barriers wedding professionals face, emphasizing mindset over strategy.

In this episode of Mind Your Wedding Business , Kevin Dennis sits down with business coach Aislinn McKenna to talk about why strategy isn’t actually the problem for most wedding pros and what’s really holding them back.
