The $100K Travel Advisor Roadmap: What Actually Matters (And What Doesn't)
Everyone wants to know the secret to building a six-figure travel business—but what if the answer isn't another CRM, social media trend, or shiny new marketing strategy?
In this episode of Passports, Profits & Pixie Dust, I'm breaking down what actually matters when it comes to building a profitable, sustainable travel business. Whether your goal is earning your first $10,000 in commissions or scaling to a six-figure income, this episode will help you focus on the activities that truly move the needle.
We'll talk about the power of consistency, why relationships will always outperform algorithms, how systems can help you grow without burning out, and the mindset shifts that separate successful travel advisors from those who stay stuck.

About Lindsay: Lindsay is a travel agency owner, podcast host, high school Spanish teacher, dog mama to Bella, and Disney lover! She lives in Ohio with her younger sister and their rescue dog (from Puerto Rico), Bella. She's obsessed with all things Disney (the parks, movies, studying the business model, and running RunDisney races).
She started in business in network marketing in 2016. Needing an outlet to feel fulfilled after her mom passed away from a nearly 17 year battle with breast cancer in 2015, she quickly found that she was obsessed with helping other women also grow their businesses, and her coaching business very organically grew from her success in her own business and helping others on her team. She started this podcast in 2020 to share not only her own business advice and tips as she's on the journey herself, but also to interview other motivational women to share with YOU ! Additionally, she has always loved Disney, and one of the things she does is work as a travel agent who specializes in Disney and cruises. So, it was very natural for her to add her Disney-inspired branding into her business coaching, and the rest is history!
