Let's talk about some business fundamentals that keep coming up for travel advisors and agency owners. 

Whether you're brand new or you've been in the industry for years, these seven reminders cover everything from E&O insurance and legal agreements to charging fees with confidence and protecting yourself through clear client communication. 

I'm also getting real about what your services are actually worth, why you need to know your numbers, and some serious etiquette issues around copying content that shouldn't still be happening. 

These are the things that will help you run a stronger, more protected business while standing firm in your value as a professional.
