Be Hip... Travel!

I don't know too many people that given the money, time, and opportunity that would not like to travel.
My back round is being a small busniess owner with less that 5 employees. When I first started my home window tinting business is Florida I had no idea how much work it was going to be and how little I was going to have to vacation. I think most people think owning your own business you could set your own hours and work when you wanted. But the reality of it is that you have to be there for the business 24/7. Everytime I thought I had the right mixture of work and employees something would come up. Someone would call in sick, someone was not having a good day... and I would have to be the one that filled in or actually did the job again for the person that was not feeling good that day so the customer would be pleased and the company got paid. All the regular things that went wrong throughout a day and the paper work left to do at night was not condusive to going on vacation much.

Needless to say... I went 5 years without taking a vacation.

Then I found out about a business that promised to give me the time and money to be able to vacation. I had to look further into this! What I found out was that by the end of the 1990's the Travel industry went through major changes. The popularity of the internet had allowed the airlines to promote their business through the internet so they took away most of the commissions from the travel agents. Ten years ago you could find a travel store on every corner...These days is hard to find one in a whole town

But like always in business... when one door closes another one opens up! With the increasing popularity of the internet many companies saw a way to promote travel on it. Now, nearly 43% on all the busniess done in the internet is travel. Well the internet being so big and the travel industry being so huge many companies went after that market and we now know many of the bigger ones... Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Travelocity, ect. Not one of them has got a bigger name than the other... so everyone searches many of them to find the best deals.

Well, along comes a group of entrepreneurs that thought everyone should have a chance to travel the world and make money doing it. Their idea was give a person a way to become a referring travel agent from home. This would allow you to make money working at home on a part-time or full-time basis... what ever you want, and in the mean while you would be able to earn disconts on travel that is only available to travel professionals... making it affordable to travel.

This company has grown to be the 35th largest travel company in the U.S. and the 11th lrgest in liesure travel. I joined thier business opportunity mainly for the travel perks, but soon found out that travel is very lucrative business. So now I have my very own travel business at home that allows me to make money from the comfort of my own home. No having to get up early, no more crazy traffic to and from work... giving me at least 2-3 unproductive hours back in my day, not to mention less frustration.

I don't even have to worry if there is going to be enough busniess comming in... the industry is expected to double in the next seven to ten years as the "baby-boomers" start to retire. I think I will have many years of exponential growth giving me both the time and money to do what ever it is I want to do when I want to do it. And ofcourse most of that time is going to be spent Traveling and experiencing new things world wide!
