Seriously, over the years, we've seen successful travel advisors come from education, healthcare, banking, engineering, retail, hospitality, the military, ministry, stay-at-home parenting, retirement, and dozens of other backgrounds. Some were highly traveled and some weren't. Some had sales experience but many didn't. Some were outgoing. Some were quiet. Some looked like natural fits for the business. Others surprised everyone, including themselves.

We've learned that people rarely succeed because of where they came from. They succeed because of what they're willing to do next.

If they're willing to learn, ask questions, build relationships, and stay engaged with the business, they succeed.

Nobody starts out knowing how to book an Alaska cruise, plan a five-country tour of Europe, organize a group trip to Japan, or navigate all the details that go into creating a spectacular vacation. Those are skills. And skills can be learned.

That's why we invest so much time, money, and effort into training, coaching, mentoring, and professional development. We know these skills can be learned because we learned them ourselves, and we've coached others as they learned them.

So if you're worried that you somehow missed the travel advisor gene, don't. There is no such thing as travel advisor DNA.

But if there were such a thing, it would probably be a passion for travel, a willingness to learn, a desire to help people, and the discipline to stay engaged.

And the fact that you've come this far in exploring the opportunity may be a sign that you already have it.

Maybe that was the test all along.🤔
