It’s easy to let the opinions and voices of others impact what you do in your life and business and possibly even prevent you from going after your dreams. What’s hard to do is to stay true to your own voice and pave your own path in a world filled with judgement, opinions, and expectations. In this interview with Bold Journey, I share how I navigated and managed naysayers in my own business journey along with three qualities that I believe have helped me succeed in a highly competitive industry. #womeninbusiness #solofemaletraveler #womenintravel #businessmindset #femaleentrepreneurs #travelcoach https://lnkd.in/gQn93uPR

From Entrepreneur to Travel Advisor: My Journey of Reinvention In 2023, I concluded an incredible chapter as the owner of a Board and Brush franchise in Red Bank, New Jersey. As my five-year contract was nearing its end, I made the decision to sell the business. Negotiations with an interested buyer, another franchisee, began in the spring of 2022 and continued until December 2023. However, when it came time to renegotiate my lease, the landlord refused to budge. In May 2023, I was forced to close my doors, losing the sale of my store. It was later revealed through mutual friends that my lease had been sold under the table for $10,000 cash to a smoke and vape shop, despite the area already having three similar stores. This decision prioritized greed over the community, discarding a beloved family destination. Before owning the franchise, I wore several hats, including an Art/Creative Director, a Professional Stylist for photography/film as well as a custom men’s clothing line, and a Fashion Director, organizing travel for 75 shoots a year across the US and overseas. This experience honed my skills in travel planning, logistics, and creating memorable experiences. Why am I sharing this? Because from this setback, I have reinvented myself. Today, I am a Travel Advisor, dedicated to booking and crafting unforgettable moments from corporate travel, corporate retreats, vacations, bachelor and bachelorette parties, honeymoons, destination weddings, and more—globally. This career pivot is my commitment until the end of my working days, embracing the adventure of helping others explore the world. As a friend and colleague, I ask you to consider me for your next getaway. Whether it's a family vacation, corporate travel or an offsite event, romantic escape, or any other travel need, I’m here to make your dreams a reality. Let's create lasting memories together. Thank you for your support! #TravelAdvisor #TravelWithMe #NewBeginnings #Entrepreneur #TravelPlanning #SupportSmallBusiness

Every week we have travel partner webinars showcasing what a preferred supplier offers agents to sell to their clients and the incentives they offer us as agents. Yesterday it was one of my favourite preferred partners on the webinar so I joined to refresh my memory of what type of products they offer, so glad I did! They are like a one stop shop for all your travel needs offering so much variety. And when we book through them along with the commissions we earn on each booking we are also rewarded with cashback 🙌 As the webinar finished I thought I'd go into my back office and have a look at some of the holiday deals this particular supplier is offering which are super competitive, just so you know 😉 And there on my dashboard is an exciting new rewards program by our host agency for all travel advisers 😱 So now, we don't only earn incentives and money back from our suppliers we book travel with but we also earn rewards from our host agency! This business just keeps on giving 🫶 Curious about earning a flexible income from home while enjoying exciting travel rewards?
