I know I do. And talking is the way I make my living. Go figure! See if you can follow today's train of thought.

Assume for the moment you are looking for a job. Your resume looks like every other resume. The secret, (as I recently told my nephew) is to package yourself as something different… something special… something unique. Take a risk. Stand out from the rank and file. Don’t just be "another."

It's no secret that running your own luxury travel business comes with a set of demands that aren't for anyone who likes to close up shop at 5 pm daily. The nature of this business, along with the expectation for consistent and rapid responses, dictates that it's pretty challenging to completely turn off the phone and email (despite knowing that doing so is good for your health). As a student in the art of meditation who is constantly striving for balance and better time-management, I am actually the perfect example of a business owner/travel advisor/entrepreneur that struggles at times to get the balance just right.
