This show is dedicated to encouraging you to step outside of your comfort zone and IN to your travel business - I'll show you how I did it and how you can too. Hit subscribe now and let's get into it.
In under 4 years, I went from being a home-based travel agent with zero clue how to make it work in the online world, to winning Mentor of the Year for Women In Travel helping our industry to build their digital influence.
Okay! Let’s grab you a coffee, sit for a bit and have a chat.
Not because you need another coffee at this time of day, but because you do need a minute to catch your breathe and slow your mind down – even if its just for a quick moment.
I know things aren’t feeling great and I can tell you right now, you are not alone. Your fellow agents, the ones I’ve been speaking too lately, all feel the exact same way.
One even comparing everything happening in their business, like flying down the highway in a flashy red Ferrari, going way too fast that the lines on the road have started to blur.
If this is you, I see you and I want you to pay particular attention to what’s happening if you feel things are getting a little ‘too’ dangerous out there.
Because here is the deal!
If your #1 goal inside of your business is make more sales, be attracting like-minded clientele and selling the products you are the absolute expert in and enjoy a more happy, cohesive and fulfilling business – then taking on more work, running yourself into the ground and not looking after yourself is NOT the direction you want to be heading in.
Honestly, I want more for you!
I don’t want you to start feeling like everything you do inside of your travel business is a labour of love, because if you are, you’ll soon be running a business you barely recognise.
We don’t want that.
I can’t stress enough how important it is to get this stuff right from the outset and I wish that someone had told me about this years ago.
In this weeks podcast episode on Unplug In Paradise, I share the 4 biggest vitals that have gotten me this far and work extremely well for creating a happy & cohesive business.
Here’s a snapshot of the episode:
✈ Vital #1 Set Your Internal Boundaries – Breaking free of the mould that we continue to put ourselves in, smash the rhetoric that we need to be operating in a particular way to be ‘seen’ as the expert, the professional, the travel agent who ‘wants’ the business.
✈ Vital #2 Time Blocking & Setting a Agenda – This is such an overused BUT undervalued tactic and skill inside of your business – if its being used correctly. Because if you aren’t being seen as honouring your time, who else is going too? Find out your natural work flow and set your agenda around what’s best for YOU.
✈ Vital #3 Inputs v Outputs – I’ve set you a Mini Challenge: I want you to list of all the things you do (or need to do) in your business. Spend 5 mins noting them down and once you think you’ve got a solid amount of tasks – I want you to then categorise them into 2 buckets. One being your input (actions you take inside the business) and the other being your output (actions you take outside of the business and things your produce and put out into the world). Collect your data and tune in to the episode to find out what to do next.
✈ Vital #4 Assessing Your ROI (Return on Investment) – What are you currently implementing into your business, how are you investing your time, money and energy? What is the outcome? Is this serving me in the long haul or is it just something to satisfy me in my business for the short-term? Will this help transform my business into what I want it to be or am I creating a business to someone else’s standards of what success looks like?
And so much more!
