The feedback has been fantastic so far! Most people discover the deal through social media shares, referrals, and my email campaign, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Do you have any advice for folks who are just starting out?
Absolutely! My best advice is this: “Hardships are not roadblocks; they’re steppingstones. Every setback is a lesson in disguise, and perseverance is the bridge to your breakthrough.”

When I started my travel agency, there were moments of doubt—especially during slow seasons or when trying to stand out in a competitive market. But I learned that tough times are where growth happens. Here’s what helped me push through:

1. Focus on Your ‘Why: Remember why you started. For me, it was my passion for crafting memorable experiences for others. When challenges arise, anchoring to that purpose keeps you moving forward.

2. Adapt and Evolve: If something isn’t working, tweak it. I shifted gears during the pandemic, leaning into social media marketing to sustain my business. Flexibility is key!

3. Celebrate Small Wins: Progress is progress. Celebrate every milestone, no matter how small—it fuels your motivation to keep going.

Ultimately, the most successful people aren’t those who never face hardship; they’re the ones who refuse to let it stop them. Keep showing up, keep learning, and trust that persistence pays off!
