Our short interview with Eseoghene
- As a young entrepreneur, what motivated you to pursue a career in event planning?
I would say my entrepreneurial spirit motivated me at some point. from the beginning, I have been an event staff and I loved attending parties my attention to detail in scenarios and situations helped me a great deal
- How did winning the 25under25 Awards in 2023 impact your career trajectory as an event planner?
Well, winning the 25under25 awards was an eye-opener to the corporate world at large and a great motivation to continue pushing even though the odds are against me, it also gave me more clients and opportunities when pitching to my prospective clients.
- What do you consider the most rewarding aspect of being an event planner?
(I’m blushing) obviously, after a job well done at an event also be able to see your staff execute all you have taught them, and act according to the pattern in which certain things are done even when you are not there.
- Can you share a significant challenge you faced as an event planner and how you overcame it?
I have two major challenges; one was from the beginning and the other was during my journey (I learned the hard way ). The first was a lack of patience; being an event vendor/planner requires a lot of patience and calmness amid your chaos????. I was able to manage it at the end. The second was my pricing and over-familiarity, people won’t just take you for granted because you are young and they feel they are doing a favor by giving you a job or referral so they tend to oppress you and not want to pay for the services. I had to learn, seek advice, learn how to act professionally, and give the best customer service whether family or friends.
- What advice would you give to female entrepreneurs looking to start an event planning business?
It won’t be easy, but if you are determined and success-driven, you will achieve more. Most importantly ask for support whenever you can, seek advice ( no knowledge is a waste), take courses, attend conferences, build your portfolio, and network with the right minds in the right space.
