The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™

What would it look like if you didn’t have to be onsite for every event you plan? Could your business actually grow faster if you weren’t tied to every detail in person? In this episode, May Yeo Silvers pulls back the curtain on how she manages multiple events, sometimes in different states, without being physically present.   May walks through the exact process she uses to decide when she’s needed onsite and when she’s not. From assessing a client’s team capacity to setting expectations with vendors and venues, she lays out the systems that keep everything running smoothly. She also shares how clear communication and proactive oversight allow her to support events remotely while staying fully in the loop.   And then there’s the mindset piece. If you’ve ever felt like you have to show up in person just to prove your value, May challenges that belief with one simple truth: the work you do before the event is what truly matters.   Want to build a business that doesn’t rely on you being everywhere at once?

That’s why they hire you.” (18:38 | May Yeo Silvers) • “You have to ask yourself, subconsciously, do you feel that you need to be on-site to make sure that everything is running well, to make sure that you show your face so that you are worth the price that you have asked clients to pay you?” (19:0 | May Yeo Silvers)   Links In order for you to scale your business, you must first build a strong foundation for your business.
