Ever dreamt of turning your love for travel into a business? In this Wanderlust Wednesday episode, Nick and Wil, give you the inside scoop on what it really takes to become a successful travel agent. Nick shares honest insights on the growth of his agency, the journey of his new associates, and why passion, consistency, and community matter more than quick wins. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just curious about the travel industry, you’ll walk away with clarity, inspiration, and actionable steps to decide if this path is right for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Being a travel agent is fun and rewarding, but it is not a quick or easy way to make money.
  • You don’t need to learn everything before you start, but consistent learning is essential.
  • Having a niche (like cruises, Disney, or international tours) helps agents grow faster.
  • Many new agents are already business owners or professionals adding travel as a second stream.
  • Success in this field depends heavily on mindset, patience, and self-discipline.
  • You don't need a big following to start, but visibility and consistency create traction.
  • Vendors for luxury travel often assist agents with materials and closing the sale.
  • Providing excellent service on small bookings can lead to major referrals.
  • Building a brand that people trust in any industry helps you succeed in travel too.
  • A "Travel Club" is in development to build community and educate clients with regular themed events.
  • Monthly vendor spotlights and Zoom cruise nights can generate interest and leads.
