There are various jobs related to business management that encompass different aspects of leading and organizing business operations. Some common job titles in this field include:
General Manager: Responsible for overseeing all aspects of a company's operations and making strategic decisions.
Operations Manager: Focuses on managing the day-to-day operations of a business to ensure efficiency and productivity.
Project Manager: Plans, executes, and controls projects within an organization, ensuring they are completed on time and within budget.
Human Resources Manager: Handles employee recruitment, training, compensation, and maintains employee relations.
Marketing Manager: Develops marketing strategies and campaigns to promote products or services and increase brand awareness.
Financial Manager: Manages financial activities such as budgeting, financial analysis, and financial reporting.
Supply Chain Manager: Oversees the procurement, production, and distribution of goods or services to ensure smooth operations.
Sales Manager: Sets sales targets, manages sales teams, and develops sales strategies to achieve business objectives.
Business Analyst: Analyzes business processes, identifies areas for improvement, and provides recommendations for operational efficiency.
Entrepreneur: Starts and manages their own business, taking on various roles and responsibilities.
Business management does involve leading a company and making strategic decisions, but it also includes planning, organizing, and coordinating various aspects of business operations. While being a party planner can involve elements of planning and coordination, it is not typically considered a traditional business management job. Party planning usually falls under the realm of event management or event planning.
The level of effort required in the field of business management can vary depending on the specific role, company size, and industry. Some positions may require long hours, particularly when facing deadlines or during times of significant change. Overall, business management can be demanding but also rewarding, as it offers opportunities for growth, leadership, and the ability to make a significant impact on an organization's success.

Hello Faith,
I think that Angella nailed her response on defining some domains you can find in business management. I dare to say that there is "management" in any aspect of a business regardless if it is a multinational or a business that you started in your garage. With that said, if you are interested in Party or Event management, you will need to know about: project management, resource allocation, contracts, budgeting, partnerships with vendors, purchasing, inventory, cashflow, paycheck, invoicing, and others. Some Party and Event management companies have people handling 1 or 2 of the activities above and if you are an 1 person show, you might ended up doing everything. Be aware that things can be simpler or more complex based on how many customers you have and type of party/events. Another thing I want to share is that you can get a job as event planner inside of corporations which its core business is not party/events. For instance, in the past, I worked for a manufacture and I coordinated car launching events for the press. Big parties! Hehehe. About the effort: that's a trick question! I'll share my personal view: I think you need to put effort on anything you do. That's how you learn and improve. My final advice is: try to narrow what you want to do in Party/Event planning. Then, find someone on LinkedIn or in your social circle that work with this. Interview the person, ask the person to describe a typical day, challenges, delights, as skills needed for the job. I think you will get the clarity you are looking for. Good luck!
