The New Year is a time to celebrate a year gone by and welcome a new one. It’s a time that provides an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start the year ahead with a blank canvas. It’s a time to consider what changes we want to make that will shape the year ahead, and resolve to make it happen.
Here are 5 resolutions that Travel Counsellors can help you keep….
Find a job that you love
Feeling burnt out? Are you overworked, underpaid, stressed out or working under poor management? These are just some of the reasons people think about looking for a new job. But, it might just be that it’s time to try something else. Our Travel Counsellors truly love what they do; in fact, over 97% of them say they love their job. That’s because they made the life-changing decision to start their own home-based travel businesses, giving them the freedom to take control of their lives.
Enjoy life more
Everyone has heard of the phrase work life balance, but how many people actually get the balance right? The ability to have a better lifestyle is one of the greatest benefits of working for yourself, and one of the key reasons why our Travel Counsellors started their own businesses. Perhaps you’d to have more time with the kids, the ability to come and go with no set trading hours, or simply taking holidays whenever suits you. As a Travel Counsellor, you’ll have all the support you need to build a successful business and create the work life balance that you desire. By reducing the stress and pressure of a traditional retail agency or call centre, you’ll have more time for the things that are important to you.
Look after yourself
Getting fitter is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions, but the reality of hectic schedules often gets in the way. Having the freedom to choose your own hours gives you the freedom to go to the gym or take a walk in the middle of the day if you like! But it’s not just looking after ourselves physically that is important, but also taking care of our emotional state as well. At Travel Counsellors, we don’t just support you in building your business, we provide a wealth of health and wellbeing support should you need you it.
Improve your finances
Tired of putting in ridiculous hours for little reward? As a travel agent using preferred suppliers, your earning potential can be limited. With global buying power and our inhouse booking system Phenix, your earning potential is uncapped. Being able to sell what you want to sell and choose your own margins means more money in your pocket. Isn’t it time you learnt about what Phenix can do for you?
Learn something new
A wise person once said; “Never stop learning”. There are always new skills to learn or knowledge to gain and at Travel Counsellors we firmly believe that knowledge is power. Our e-learning platform COACH is a business tool that has been developed to help our agents be their most successful. With over 80 product guides, resources to help your personal development and specialist items covering social media, IT and more, COACH has everything you need and allows you to focus on areas of development which are relevant to you.
