๐Reflecting on an Incredible First Year ๐
Today marks one year since I started trading as a Personal Travel Manager with TravelManagers Australia, and without a doubt, it was one of the best career decisions I've ever made.
Over the past 12 months, I've had the privilege of working with amazing clients who share my passion for travel, golf, cruising, and exploring the world. I've organised leisure holidays, corporate travel, group tours, golf events, hosted travel presentations, launched my Community Travel Club, and held my first Community Travel Expo.
What I love most about this role is the flexibility it provides:
โ๏ธ Working with corporate, leisure and group travel clients
๐ฅ Running community events and travel presentations
๐๏ธ Specialising in areas I'm genuinely passionate about
๐ถ Going for a walk or heading to the gym when it suits me
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง Spending time with family when needed
๐ค Meeting with suppliers and clients at times that work for everyone
๐ Building a future that suits both my partner and me
What's interesting is that I first spoke to my now Business Partnership Manager, Jackie, back in 2021. At the time, becoming a Personal Travel Manager wasn't the right move for me, and Jackie helped me come to that decision. Fast forward a few years, and she has been an incredible support throughout my first year in business.
To every client who has booked with me, attended an event, referred a friend, liked a post, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines.. thank you. Your support means the world, and I'm incredibly grateful to be helping you create unforgettable travel experiences. A special thank you also goes to my family and partner for their unwavering support over the past 12 months. Thank you for listening to my ideas, celebrating the successes, helping me navigate the challenges, and believing in me every step of the way. I truly couldn't have reached this milestone without your encouragement and support. ๐
Here's to year two! ๐ฅ
