I’ve written about personality, grit, and drive, being key ingredients for building your own successful travel business. But something that is more important than all of these, is passion.
Without passion for what you do, it’s a chore. When you’re passionate about your business, working in it will be enjoyable, and when you enjoy something, you’ll want to do it more.

We’re lucky to be living in a time where there is sooooo much opportunity. The internet means that ANYBODY can start a business at any time. Whether it’s going all in, or as a ‘side hustle (what’s the English version of side hustle??)
I think the hard part is knowing what industry to do it in? This is where you need to know what you’re passionate about. Don’t chase the money.
There is no such thing as easy money. No matter what, you’ll need to work for it, so don’t do something you’re not going to enjoy.
Getting your customers to trust you is one of the many challenging parts of a sales role. Working in the travel industry in a sales role for over 20 years, I have certainly learnt a lot of how to handle all types of customers.
16 years I have worked in the Travel Industry facing all sorts of challenges, airline and operator collapses, ash cloud but never ever did I ever think something bigger could affect my job…
I am coming up to my one-year anniversary at the Holiday Franchise Company – in that time I’ve been lucky enough to train and help lots of wonderful people launch their travel businesses. Everyone of which has been different, I’ve trained individuals, partnerships, couples – even entire teams! This has ranged from adventure travel specialists all the way up to concierge travel focusing on super high-net-worth clients.
