This is not only possible, it is being achieved by travel agency owners all over Australia and the world today. If you are still working 60 - 80 hours a week and juggling consulting, managing, owning, promotion and administration to name but a few then it's time to STOP, step back have a good look at yourself and a good look at how you can jump off this treadmill and start enjoying the life your travel business should be providing for you.
There are a few simple steps to making this work for you:
Step One: Develop a VISION for your future with specific goals of what you would like YOUR business to achieve for YOU. Write separate goals for different parts of your life e.g. business and personal. Then look to see how you they can both work towards a bigger picture.
Step Two: Work out the essential STRATEGIES that need to be put in place for you to achieve your vision.
Step Three: Be realistic about the TIMESCALE, it may take 12 months or 2 years to achieve what you want, this is a small investment to make in return for the rewards that lie ahead. Change takes time so make sure you have A,B,C,D…. points and then work how you can achieve these points.

Step Four: Success does not simply happen, you have to take ACTION and lots of it. This may mean team training, staff systems additional education for yourself etc.
Step Five: Be prepared to INVEST money to achieve your goals. If you do not have the necessary skills to achieve your dream go out and get them.
The above five steps will enable to you to develop an understanding of what YOU want from YOUR business. Once you stop working in your business and learn to make the business work for you it will be easy to focus on the rest of your life and make decisions like, shall I play golf today? or shall I go shopping? or shall I take my boat out? or shall I spend time with my family? or shall I simply relax and do nothing?
We all have our own personal power. But not everybody knows how to use and direct their personal power. That's why so many travel business owners around you live mediocre lives while only a few seem to thrive and succeed.
I'm sure you know people who just seem to have things go their way - they set goals and they achieve them, time after time.
The only difference between them and those who are not so successful is that they know how utilize their personal power and make it work for them.
