Are You Running Your Travel Business, or Is It Running You?

You can be brilliant at selling travel, have great clients and strong sales, and still have a business that relies almost entirely on you. So, are you running your travel business, or is it running you? In this solo episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, Ros takes a helicopter view of what is really happening inside our travel businesses, prompted by the early results from the new Travel Business Scorecard. The results aren't pointing to one universal weakness. Advisors are identifying opportunities across client experience, numbers, marketing, systems and ideal clients. But underneath those different challenges, one pattern keeps appearing: too much of the business still relies on the owner. Ros shares why being busy isn't necessarily evidence of a healthy business, the difference between strong Foundations and Independence, and why the problem you think you need to fix may not be the real one. You'll also hear what happened when Ros spectacularly proved the point in her own business when the scorecard process broke, why travel business owners can become very useful "potatoes", and what a recent trip through Dubai taught her about challenging the way we've always done things. This episode will challenge you to ask: What part of my business only works because I'm there? What do I keep telling myself I need to fix, and do I have evidence that it's actually the problem? What have I already built that shouldn't need me anymore? Because you don't need to fix everything. You need to identify the right thing to work on next.
