"You really can't plan, organise, be efficient, or effective when you are coming from a place of chaos." Recently traveling over the Christmas period I learnt a thing or two and I am the first to admit my own faults. (I too am no stranger to overwhelm, taking on too much, not saying NO often enough, valuing myself and not taking a break) I decided only a few months out of the festive season that I needed an 'escape' and to do something different. To spend some quality time with my husband and son doing something we together would look back on in the future. What I wasn't expecting was some of the additional lessons I learnt from experiencing a new culture and visiting places I hadn't previously had on my bucket list. In this episode I share the connections, the stories and the lessons learnt. Also sharing with you some resources to maybe help you on your journey into 2024. Check out all the details at: https://www.travelagentachievers.com/85 Hang in there, reach out to people that know you, understand you and can relate to what you need.

In this thought-provoking episode, Ros shares her insights and personal experiences surrounding the importance of coaches and mentors, especially in the business world. Drawing from her own background, she reflects on her time working at McDonald's as a teenager in Australia and how the organisational structure and community there shaped her. She emphasises the importance of good mentors and people looking out for her, fostering her love for Hospitality and Tourism. She also contrasts her experience with her high school community and highlights how her part-time job became her community and laid the foundation for her views on coaching and mentoring. Ros dives into the alarming statistics regarding small and medium-sized enterprises in Australia, highlighting how a significant number of these businesses fail within the first few years. She argues that there is often a lack of support for small business owners and draws attention to the difference between how coaches are perceived in sports compared to business. The discussion leads to her personal journey in her travel business and her decision to join a business coaching program called Business Blueprint by Dale Beaumont, despite the five-figure investment. This experience led her to recognize the value of being challenged and having a mentor to guide and inspire. The episode wraps up with Ros' reflections on why coaching and mentoring are not only important but also essential for personal and professional growth. She acknowledges that the investment in a coach or mentor can be intimidating but emphasises that it can be a game-changer for many. Drawing from her own experience and those of her friends, she encourages listeners to think bigger, challenge their beliefs, and recognise the opportunity coaching and mentoring can provide in various aspects of life. It's a compelling conversation that emphasises the human need for guidance, community, and the courage to grow.

In this episode, Roslyn gets together with Glin Bayley from The Value Negotiator for a heart-to-heart discussion. They kicked off the talk highlighting the difference between arguing a point and reaching a deal. Glin makes it clear that negotiation isn't about sticking to your guns, but about finding a common ground and building shared value. Glin emphasises the importance of focusing on value rather than price. She gives some great advice to travel experts, encouraging them to really get to know their clients' needs and wishes, and shift the conversation towards what value they're offering, not just what price they're asking. The goal is to help clients see all the value they're getting, which makes them more at ease with the price tag. Glin believes that when you provide real value, customers are happier and more likely to come back. Glin also encourages travel professionals to get clear on their goals and their own reasons for doing what they do. She calls for a fresh view of negotiation, urging us all to see it not as a chore, but as a positive and strategic way to build thriving travel businesses that focus on mutual benefits.

Now that we are coming back together in person in addition to all the 'online' work we have been doing, learning how to communicate effectively and with conviction is a skill we can always use. Public Speaking as Travel Professionals isn't something we can avoid if we want to grow our business too. In the travel industry, public speaking is one of the most personal ways to reach new clients and potential customers. In order to maximize this tactic, as Travel Advisors, we may need to make sure that we are as comfortable as possible when delivering a presentation or speaking to our clients, both new and existing. Jaimie Abbott, our guest for today is an award-winning media professional and international keynote speaker. She has spent two decades in the industry working as a Radio and TV Journalist, Political Media Adviser, Managing Director of her own public speaking and media training company and a Communications Adviser for the Royal Australian Air Force. In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, Jaimie shares her expertise in public speaking and gives tips on how to deal with the fear of rejection. Public speaking has its challenges, regardless of how comfortable you are talking to groups of people. With the addition of social media, along with the introduction of new forms of technology in presenters, public speaking has become even more challenging. As a travel business owner, it is vital to make a personal connection with your clients. Confidence is the key when speaking in front of an audience. Jaimie also encouraged people to simplify their language because people's attention spans are not what they used to be. For many people, public speaking is a fear and something they would rather avoid than learn how to do well. However, with simple techniques and doing some practice, this fear can be overcome.

Everyone has a different approach to learning, there is no denying its importance ― it makes you adhere to new and better work processes and systems. Some people like to learn and absorb, whilst others, learn and take action. Risking trying something new or different to move forward. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Learning and implementing however is about growth. Growth for you as a business owner and taking action to build the travel business you desire. For travel business owners, learning new things is something we are ALWAYS doing. Whether it is supplier training or what's working on social media at the moment. However learning and taking action on the things you learn I find at 2 different things. Learning and Implementing need to come together to become more than just a way forward; it also helps make sure that we can stay competitive in today's global business marketplace. In this episode, I asked one of the Travel Agent Achievers members to share her incredible story about her journey and experience in her travel business. Holly Velardo has over 20 years of experience in the Travel Industry providing tailor made itineraries with the best possible service and expert advice. With her passion for the industry and love for her clients, she opened her own Travel Agency almost 5 years ago. During the pandemic and when the world closed down, she decided that she finally had more time to work on her travel business. She joined Travel Agent Achievers to have things in place and to keep building and reaching goals. One thing that she loves about the Travel Agent Achievers community is the SUPPORT and ACCOUNTABILITY not only just coming from me but from her co-members as she said. She also shares that it is so important to put together the systems and processes in business to get things organized. Once she put a few parts and pieces of automation into her travel business, it has taken away some of the administrative tasks, which has allowed her to focus on building her business. As she has implemented what she has learnt, she has also seen incredible results in her business from a sales perspective, but also growth in size of her business. Allowing her to do more of what she loves and with those she loves as well. Ros & Holly discuss why it's important to invest in yourself, your learning and business to enrich your skills and knowledge, stay up-to-date, and move forward. Learning from your experiences, both successful and unsuccessful ones. Learning from your colleagues who are experts in their own fields. Holly is now working on specialised groups and encourages everyone to listen in, learn where you can and from people that ‘get' you and take action. You won't regret it.

Travel Agent Achievers - To Educate, Encourage and Empower Travel Professionals
I'm a pretty relaxed kinda person. I don't normally get worked up over things and I NEVER explode or react in a way that would normally be considered an outburst. Let's just say I am cool under pressure (it's actually where I work best.) However, over the last few weeks I have had a few conversations with people where I knew there was undertones, yet at the time I didn't react. I have now been thinking further about it and its really bothering me. SO - I have decided I need to speak up about it, because it doesn't help anyone if I keep quiet. This, I hope helps others out there that are feeling as though they may not belong, that feel as though they got themselves a 'job' when they started their own travel business, or that feel as though they want to change, grow, build, create, do something different, but not sure how to or why. I am here to support, educate, inspire and encourage those in the Travel and Tourism Industry that want to build a business that is a business. Building something that gives you life, energy, excitement and you don't become a slave to it. I don't wait you to be working till midnight and not having time to sleep, take care of your health, spend time with your kids/partner and not travel or have a holiday. You don't have to be grinding and burning the candle at both ends to build the business you desire. It takes courage, guts, determination, resilience, but also action. It isn't easy, or everyone would do it. I know you started your Travel Business for a reason, let's rebuild together.

As a travel business owner/advisor/experience creator, our goal is always to create seamless and memorable travel experiences for our clients. However, what happens when we have a lead who seems like an unlikely prospect? Should we reject them? Or see the opportunity in every business interaction? Our guest, Maree Kirkpatrick is a sales trainer and business strategist with over 15 years of experience negotiating millions of dollars in sales for numerous industries. She and I have been working together over the last month or so putting some different ideas and perspectives on sales for travel advisors talking about different languages to use, and how we can work together to get the ideal clients. In this episode, Maree and Ros discuss understanding who are your ideal clients. Understanding who you want to be working with and why you want to be working with those people. From there we can make that decision to say, "Yes, I want to work with them." or "No, I don't." If I don't take them on as a client, that's okay. But make sure when you say no, that you're also still looking after them. You can also help them find people within your community that might be the right fit for them. We also discuss the importance of implementing a sales process that allows you to understand who your prospective clients are, what they want, and if they are ideal customers for your business. The sales process then flows into your sales strategy, so you can remain focused on one thing at a time, instead of being pulled in different directions and becoming overwhelmed by all the work. We want your travel business to run smoothly and easily, because work should be something that makes you feel good instead of exhausted and overwhelmed. Your Travel Business can be a separate box that you can step out from and you can step into. Stand in your power and know what you want to be known for, what makes you unique, and what makes you stand out. Make sure you stay up to date with the podcast by subscribing and downloading our free resources and checklists to help you with your travel business and let us know what you want to learn about to help your travel business grow. www.travelagentachievers.com

“Mindset” - A word more recently thrown around - quite a lot. I'm not sure how it sits with me yet. Yes - we have control over our thoughts, though if we are to work on our mind and the thoughts we have, I also think that someone who specialises in this area should be consulted as it is a very powerful topic. I take this topic very seriously as mental health is something that is not a foreign topic in my family. When I want help in a particular area, I see a specialist. My Nanna always use to say to me… “Your health is one of your most important assets in life, make sure to see the best Dr's as you only get one chance at this life.” Which is why I wanted to ensure that by bringing up this topic of the mind, it was dealt with care and in the right forum with a qualified professional. Not only is she a beautiful human, whom I could easily spend hours with and we forget the time (true story of a 3am finish with no alcohol involved) Clare is a Psychologist with many years experience working with business owners of all different sized companies small and large. Clare and her partner and team have created an incredible process and system to help business owners all over the world take a look at who they are, potentially dig into the WHY and also work towards solutions and growth and how to get there with their tools Values Pendulum and Thought Code. In this Travel Agent Achievers Podcast episode Clare and I talk about the power of choice. It is really interesting, thought provoking and I am thrilled she has also agreed to come into our Achievers Mastermind several times this year to help our Travel Business Owners work towards their goals through working on their mind too. (Want to know more about this? Send me a DM and I will let you in on it.) I'd love to know your thoughts once you listen. Enjoy the conversation and ideas that come from it.
