Welcome back to Unplug In Paradise, I am your host Stephanie Myers and I will be flying solo in today’s episode – so hope you’ve got a cuppa ready (or wine!) or you’re taking me out for a quick spin around the block, on your favourite walk or at home looking after that endless and sometimes tedious to-do list.

And as a small business owners, that job never seems to end! So in today’s episode – I’d like to open to conversation about something that that I’m pretty passionate about and bring some things to the surface when it comes to travel agents vs entreprenuers and the mindset surrounding it.

OK so who’s ready? Let’s dive in…

Key takeaways

• Let’s take a look at 5 typical traits of an entrepreneur and let’s see how many of these us travel agents can relate too.

An entrepreneur is:

1.) a person who starts a business and is willing to risk loss in order to make money.

2.) a person who undertakes any kind of related activity (as opposed to just working in a business).

3.) a person who refers to themselves as an independent business owner.

4.) a person who has qualities like passion, tenacity, vision, and self-confidence.

5.) a person who takes action, execute them and don’t allow ideas to get stuck in there head.

• Travel Agents all have such amazing skillsets, they need to be celebrated, not buried – travel agents ARE in fact entreprenuers. It’s just not something we’ve ever waved to flag on before.

• The only thing that’s missing right now in the world of travel is self-belief, direction, self-confidence to put ourselves out there and above all – a strategy to safeguard you, your business and your future.

• DM me, email me, find me on LinkedIn, get in touch! I’d love to know what resonates with you and how you feel you can best channel your inner entrepreneur?

• Also – while you’re there – let me know what tiny thing can you do today, that is really going to help your long term goal of re-establishing yourself as the authority in your space? Because in the true entrepreneur spirit – Rome wasn’t built in a day and if you don’t start today, when will you?

• Make time to set yourself aside 5 mins a day – slow your mind of all the frustrations, financial, worry, stress, kids, business, clients, next door neighbours lawn mower – whatever is going on – and sit with what you envision for your next 12 months, I want you to feel it, taste it, smell it – I want it to feel as real as possible because every time you’re feeling stressed out about your travel biz from here on in, you’re going to time-travel to this exact place.
