Tell us about yourself

I have always loved to travel. When I retired from my 30-year career in education, I knew I wanted to do something fun while still earning money. Additionally, I still had a desire to continue teaching women who have a need to feel good about themselves and make money. I found that opportunity through the travel Industry.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

As a business owner, I feel that my biggest accomplishment has been helping 2 of my Travel Agent Team Members to gain the skills and training necessary to go off on their own and build their own independent Travel Agencies!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

The hardest thing about being a business owner is ensuring that you are attending to your team, your business, and your finances, all while maintaining a balance in your personal life.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Be sure that you know exactly what you are about to get into.
  2. Do not expect immediate results, as building a business can take time.
  3. Be sure to ask for help from a mentor.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

My goal is to lead women to be successful in life, successful entrepreneurs, and to learn to maintain their strength no matter what goes on in their life.
