It’s that time. Time to review. Time to make my 2017 business plan. Time for me to say farewell to you as my year of Travel Agent Diaries has come to a close.

I was a bit nervous last year when TRO contacted me to write. I was in the midst of a divorce which ended up catapulting to a major move. I decided to write to have my own accountability of where the year would go. With monthly deadlines and happy reminders from John each month, I was ‘forced’ to review what had taken place in my business. The good, the bad, and the ugly. In the end, the one thing I mentioned in the beginning still holds true.

Change is inevitable.  Whether it be something…

“Decide you are going to make the company great; at least decide that you are going to make a difference.”

It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be. by Paul Arden, page 97

I immediately was drawn to this quote. Why work at anything for so many hours a week if you are not going to try to be the best at what you do? As my recently formed company suggests, it all starts with your head. You have to get yourself thinking straight and believing that what you are doing makes perfect sense to all concerned. Having achieved this mindset, trying to improve your skills becomes easier. It is kind of like “an object in motion tends to stay in motion”…
