7 Reason Why I Love My Travel Business

1. THE FUN OF TRAVEL

2. Low Start-Up Cost

I was impressed by the LOW amount of cash necessary to open my online travel agency. Most businesses cost many thousands of dollars to start and you have to take over equipment leases, be saddled with Yellow Page advertising, weekly payrolls, inventory and accounting. The business ends up running you instead of you running it.

3. Flexible Hours

I realized I didn't want to be tied down to a 9 to 5 job, or put in all the overtime hours required to make a small business succeed. I want to have money and the time to enjoy it. I set my own hours, and make sure it never interferes with my social life.

4. High Income

Lots of part-timers are making $500-$1,000 a week. Full-time agent representitives can make even more.

5. Low Stress = A Happier Life

I was attracted because I wanted a very low pressure business. No time clock to punch, no manager to answer to, no employee problems to deal with or inter - office squabbles to settle. Now I work when it fits MY schedule. I have time to spend with my friends and family. My friends tell me I smile a lot more than I did this time last year.

6. Good Support & Training

I liked the fact that while I am an independent agent and I don't have to answer to anyone but myself, there is also a good training and support system in place to ensure success. My director worked with me to make sure I made sales when I first started.

We did conference calls with clients to help close sales, and still do today. We continue to share techniques and leads.

7. Work From Home OR Anywhere

I wanted an opportunity that wouldn't make me a prisoner to an office. I can work from home, or travel and work on the road. All I need is a phone, a laptop computer, and I'm completely mobile. I wanted the flexibility to travel whenever I feel like it. Even cruise ships have Internet access these days, so I can combine travel business with my vacations.
