Think running a travel business is just about booking trips?
Let me give you a reality check.
You're actually juggling four major C-suite roles - CEO, CFO, COO, and CMO - on top of your regular travel advisor responsibilities.
Nobody probably told you this when you started your agency, but understanding these different hats you're wearing will help you see why your planning fee is totally justified and why building a profitable business requires so much more than most people realize.
I'm breaking down what each of these executive roles actually means for you as a small business owner and how to stop feeling overwhelmed by all the things you're managing.
